Compare the weapons each has. Also, there was a point last night were they showed Rogers getting 5.4 ****ing seconds to find his receiver and throw. Matt is generally under pressure from the moment the ball is snapped.
Also, he has had 3 years of bench time where he threw all of 39 passes.
I could be wrong but those dumpoffs on 3rd and 19 look like designed plays and I'm not the only one to say that.
Even if it is his decision, the majority of the time he is throwing them out of necessity because he has defenders crawling up his ass.

Comparing Cassel to PM right now is not good for you.
PMs line is not as good as you make it seem to be, his release and elite level of preparation let him expose teams when they blitz..making teams shy away from doing so. That takes the pressure off the oline.
Cassel would be helping in this area if he was better prepared and had better chemistry with his receivers. Hopefully, that comes in time.
When Cassel gets blitzed, he stops looking at his receivers and looks at the rush. You will notice that if you watch for it for now on.
