[FishingRod]

He is not hated. He is just perceived as someone who was paid Franchise QB money with Backup QB talent. If he were a our 5th round pick making 5th round money he would be fairly popular. Most people would be very happy with him as our 2nd string QB and even admit he is not the worst starting QB in the League.

The problem is that since most of us have actually watched a football game. If Phillip Rivers, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Aaron Rogers, Michael Vick, Tom Brady, and Ben Rothlisberger's names were put on pieces of paper and randomly drawn from a hat and we had to take whatever name was pulled to be traded straight up for Cassel 99.9% would be happy regardless of who we received. OK, so that is a no brainer but, I also think almost all of us would take the same chance if the names in the hat were Matt Schaub, Tony Romo, Matt Ryan Josh Freeman,Sam Bradford, Kyle Orton Vince Young, Kevin Kolb, Mathew Stafford, Eli Manning, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Colt McCoy, Jason Campbell, Jay Cutler, Mark Sanchez, Chad Henne and Joe Flacco, That puts him pretty far down the list. The point being that the best of the rest would be an upgrade and the worst of the rest, really wouldn't be much different than what we have now.
