No sir, you act like there weren't other valuable offensive skillplayers that preceded those I just named.

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.

Brees had Tomlinson from the outset. He also had a fairly productive Curtis Conway and solid complementary pieces like Stephen Alexander and Tim Dwight.
Manning began his career with Marshall Faulk AND Marvin Harrison.
McNabb and Brady have done a lot with a little for most of their careers.
Won't argue there...But they're in pretty special company. Not many QB's of their ilk have done so much with such a pedestrian supporting cast.

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.

I disagree.
I think we can assemble comparable pieces over the next season or two.
