That's all he's good at.

really you think? He is I think the only starting QB in the NFL that has never "earned" a starting QB job legitimately. His entire NFL career he was gifted a starting role, and then given the keys to a franchise based on one season. He had do absolutely nothing in college to justify being given a chance to lead a franchise and he literally sat for 4 or 5 years in the NFL and did nothing.
No other QB was gifted a team. Every other QB has had success at the College level, has shown success on other NFL teams, etc. Cassel was gifted everything. A good Patriots team, an entire Chiefs franchise for 3 years, 60 million dollar contract etc. You can make a sound argument that with his resume he deserved none of those.
I'm not sure he IS a good teammate. But he is a SPOILED teammate.
and before you say Tom Brady, there was still controversy between playing Drew Bledsoe over Tom Brady coming off injury. So Tom Brady had to not only earn that starting job when he stepped in, he had to run Beldsoe out of town in the process. He did that. He also had success at Michigan. Cassel never had anything at USC. And he was gifted a starting NFL QB job because our idiot GM was dumb enough to make that trade. Gifted. Not earned.
