I'm just not going to get excited b/c he got his hand on some errant training camp throws allowing him to look better than he may truly be to an un knowledgeable fan/media member.

Most guys see an incompletion and attribute it to one thing and not a combination of many, same goes for completions. Cassel isn't as good as reported, he's got the most talented around him at all times, and throws high percentage passes, and usually only if they're safe. Rarely does he step out of that comfort zone. How would Cassel look with the 3rd team? How would he look if he didn't throw safe passes more often than not?

Cassel's "superior command" of the offense is a combination of things, including his veteran status(the more offenses you learn throughout your career, the easier it is to learn new ones), the guys he plays with giving him more options per play with their ability to match ups well against a variety of defenses. Cassel's has good weapons that compliment each other well, Quinn and Stanzi don't.

Cassel will do well this year, and will be above average with the offense around him, but he won't be elite like he should be. I think both Quinn and Stanzi could perform comparatively as well with this offense.

Both Quinn and Stanzi have higher ceilings than Cassel. His inability to throw deep passes and always wanting to "play it safe" is all I need to know about Cassel.
