I'm pretty sure I referred to both as insurance.
Hell, they had no contingency plan whatsoever.
Draft, FA, scrap heap, nothing.
Which tells me they don't think Cassel is the problem.

You don't use a second round pick as insurance. You use a second round pick on a guy you believe will be very good at the position he plays. Right now, you are hanging your case on the idea that Jimmy Clausen has potential to be a QBOTF and that is a very hard argument to make right now.
I get that Clausen couldn't be a whole lot worse than Cassel. But the goal isn't to get better than Cassel. The goal is to come as close to a franchise QB as we can get.
