Regardless, it comes back to one thing.
People here aren't willing to give a guy credit unless he was a high pick.
He's a backup, 7th round pick that is the 8th ranked QB in the league in yardage, 11th in QB rating, and has lead his team (who the entire free world left for dead 10 minutes into the season) to a 7-4 record and a great shot at a playoff spot.
Why is is that hard to appreciate what he's done, instead of giving everyone on that team credit BUT Cassel? |
Because he's not a good player. He's the same guy he was three weeks ago, when everyone in New England was ready to cut bait with him. There isn't a starting QB in the league who wouldn't put up those numbers with the weapons he has on offense.
Go back and watch the tape from that NFLN game two weeks ago...he put up 400 of the least impressive passing yards you'll ever see. You can't judge a guy by his stat line.
