The funny part is that so many of Cassel's detractors claim his success was due to the talent around him. And, then, they totally ignore the fact that Sanchez was probably a bigger beneficiary of the same advantage.
Think about it. In the NFL the separation between the best and the worst isn't that much. The majority of games are one score games. The reality is that games come down to one or two plays.
In college, the great teams are heads and shoulders above everyone else. And, other than USC, there is very little defensive talent coming out of that conference.
You take a guy, surround him with a good offensive line, superior coaching and put him against weak defenses... I imagine he is going to look pretty good.
And, did he play any even remotedly good defenses without at least an extra week of preparation?
It will be interesting to see how he does in the NFL.
