They are handling it the right way.

Shaking confidence?
Isn't it about time we made it clear to Cassel that he has to earn the right to his job? We need to stop coddling the guy. The more reps Cassel gets in the preseason, the more it becomes clear that there is no QB competition. Brady Quinn isn't going to win a QB job by getting half the practice reps Cassel does, most of them being with a second team of receivers.
And I don't understand how it shakes the confidence of Quinn or Stanzi. I would think the fact that they have a chance to start would motivate them to work harder.
We've seen this drill before. No QB is going to lose his starting job in the preseason. QBs always struggle and coaches stick with them. Because they know it's the preseason. I think it would take some kind of miracle for any QB but Cassel to be starting for us to start 2012.
