I am already a Matt Cassel fan. Cassel showed a tremendous toughness and resilience this season.
Now, he did not play well enough.... but I am a fan of the person.
I am not the majority when it comes to QB's. I think that there are very few 'franchise' QB's. The rest are made due to schemes, the talent around them and the ability of offensive coordinators to call a good game.
I think Cassel can be a good QB. I need to see him make better decisions, and hit the deep ball more. I think the better decisions will be helped with another year in the offense, and a better offensive coordinator. I think the long ball will be helped by someone working with him on his mechanics, but more importantly consisentency in the WR corps.
But, I am already a fan. Hard not to be. The kid was beaten up repeatedly, and never quit, and continued to fight all season long.
