I think that's where your disconnect is. EVERYONE here knows that Alex excels at those passes and that he should be a major upgrade to Cassel, even though they have very similar strengths and weaknesses.
The part that some of us don't like and think is detrimental to the long term success of this team are those exact weaknesses.
It's just that some of us don't have a problem acknowledging those weaknesses while pointing out his strengths in the same breath.
Some here see only white, some only see black and some see black, white and grey.
I, personally, won't be a bit surprised to see this team go 9-7 or even 10-6...but I also think we will struggle to beat good teams in the postseason (if we get there) because of how Alex limits the amount of areas of the field opposing defenses need to defend due to Alexs weaknesses.
