Smith played lights out with lessor skilled players whereas Cassel played in an unconventional offense with greater players.
The parallels between the two players, other than compensation, don't exist.

Matt Cassel had BB on the sideline too. I think Matt Cassel played with fear and abandonment that he didn't want an earful if he missed up and had to go to the sidelines. He ran for first downs and had success moving the chains with his feet more than he did with his arm. We didn't get that out of Matt Cassel. That's how I remembered Matt Cassel doing it in NE.
