Coogs · 09-21-2011, 02:04 PM

...sounds like 3 more weeks of Cassel at least.

From the Truman Sports Complex

Todd Haley said Wednesday afternoon it was too early to judge the performance of starting QB Matt Cassel, other than to say it must improve.

“Two games is too early to recognize an identity of a team,” Haley said. “We obviously need to change things here pretty quick to keep our identity from being something we don’t want it to be. It does take four or five games. The same goes for players.”

Statistically, only Jacksonville’s starting QB Josh McCown has gotten off to a worse start than Cassel. His passer rating is 50.4, a full 20 points behind the next guy above him in the league rankings. His 4.3 yards per passing attempt is the worst in the league. In 10 statistical areas for quarterbacks, Cassel’s highest ranking is No. 13 for completion percentage. Otherwise, he’s ranked 22 and below and in half of those categories, he’s ranked No. 30 or lower.

That's good, actually. That means they do have a clock on him, even if it's not as quick as people might like.

We have a clear and identifiable identity: we suck..

..hopefully for Luck.

I wouldn't expect a move before the bye week anyway. They have to give the 60 million dollar man a chance after all...

Yep! QB change over the bye week if things don't change.

**DaKCMan AP** · 09-21-2011, 02:09 PM

The real question is do we screw it up and make a QB change to Palko instead of Stanzi?

I believe this is the first Haley has hinted publicly that Cassel is in danger of seeing the bench. Sounds like he's sending him a message.

There is no message to send.....other than he doesn't belong on this team.

Haley's got a point - 0-5 is technically worse than 0-2...

talastan · 09-21-2011, 02:13 PM

The guy has thrown 4 INT in two games. He has only one TD in the same two games with a little over a 4 yd average on passing. If it is too early to judge so be it, but at least compare that to his "career" year last year.

Point being he should be on the hot seat right NOW!!

Molitoth · 09-21-2011, 02:13 PM

I'm willing to accept a full year of 0-16 for a chance at Luck.

Keep Cassel in!

**HemiEd** · 09-21-2011, 02:17 PM

It is hard for them to ignore those stats, even if they have their head clear up their butt.

The rest of us could see it from the second game his first year, that he didn't have it, but at least now they have gotten almost three years out of him for their big contract.

Maybe they can cut bait soon! There is hope!

kcxiv · 09-21-2011, 02:19 PM

Keep Cassel all 16 games. no more bullshitting. ITs Andrew Luck time.

**loochy** · 09-21-2011, 02:19 PM

2 years isn't long enough?
