For me, the worst thing about Cassel is that he is an impediment to getting an elite talent at QB. He is good enough to win the weak AFCW, yet bad enough to never win a playoff game. Cassel is the guy that keeps us from drafting "The Guy." Second-tier, marginally better than Cassel won't do it for me at this point; I want the franchise to find a Hall of Fame quarterback.

Remember that Andy Dalton wasn't really that highly regarded coming into the draft last year, and he played quite well for the Bengals. Meanwhile, Gabbert has done nothing but suck balls in Jacksonville.
It's only been one year, but it's looking like Dalton has a much better chance to become a "franchise" quarterback than Gabbert does.
