No correlation between those QB's and the pieces around them...
Whatsoever.

You act as if those guys JUST became franchise QB's.
Guys like Brees, Manning, McNabb, Brady, to name a few, had shit to work with early in their careers. Maybe one guy they could lean on.
Christ, this is the first year in McNabb's career he's had more than one legitimate playmaker at WR.
Brady won a SB with Antowain Smith, Troy Brown, Davis Patten and Jermaine Wiggins, FFS.
Over time, they've all been fortunate to have some talent added to thier arsenal.
But it takes years to do so, and they all have had the benefit of starting from a young age, and growing with the young playmakers their franchise acquired.
Cassel, OTOH, will likely be 33+ before all of those pieces can be accumulated.
That's the downside of trading for an inexperienced QB that "should" be in his prime.
