But at one point, Gretz started asking about the over-throws and Roleo said something along the lines of, "... you know sometimes a guy will look good in 7 on 7 practice when there isn't a pass rush, you know, but you know when there's a pass rush in the game, you know, the guy might not throw as accurately ... you know ..."
It seems to be an admission that Roleo, at least, is aware that Cassel is A) Inaccurate much of the time, and B) Folds under pressure.
It only took him about 10 games to figure that out, but hey ... it's progress.

I pointed it out while it happened, but Zorn said a few times how Cassel looks better under false pressure (from ota practices iirc) showing that they acknowledged way back then (and last year also) that was an area to focus on.
Shit, even going back to 2008, BB told Cassel to take sacks during the first part of the year as a tool to try and get him to keep his eyes downfield when he got pressured. Chris Collinsworth pointed this out over and over during the games...that Cassel would look at the rush after his first read.
That was my major gripe with trading for him in the first place.
Here we are, nearly 5 years later, and the exact same problem exists.
The guy is just a pussy that's afraid of getting hit.
