RedThat chose to keep his doubts suppressed for awhile. What you're seeing here is the releasing of that anger he's been keeping hidden deep down for a long time.
You'll be fine, RedThat. Try drinking a nice hot cup of Ricky Stanzi. It will take the edge off.

I have been very mum on him for a while.
I put faith in him from the start when we first got him. I was looking to see improvements from him as the years went on. I was excited when we hired Weis last year because I thought he would develop Cassel's game. I was still excited when we hired Zorn and had hope in Cassel. BUT, after watching him this preseason, I know its preseason but the guy still makes the same mistakes.
His field vision didn't improve.
His footwork and mechanics are off.
What else? His pocket presence is bad. He panics against the rush and lacks poise. He stares down his receivers and forces throws. His arm strength sucks. so does his accuracy.
All these things have just carried over from the past till now. And, no improvement. Im just convinced he is what he is.
And lets fact it, the guy is a project, okay. His whole career he has been a backup. At USC, in the NFL with Pats, but except for us. And I think, that is where he belongs as a backup. You just don't win with backup QBs. Unless, you have a GREAT GREAAT defense and a heck of a good running game.
you know what Cassel is good for?
Being on that kinda team. Greaat defense and running game. just keep it simple. Don't make mistakes. don't cause any turnovers or lose us games. Let the rest of the team win it for us.
I want a QB that can win us games. He is not that guy.
