Its kind of like having Dwight Freeney and Jared Allen lining up against you for 16 games. That fear is there, but its caused by your own team. I am not a stat person at all, though. I believe intangibles account for most of the success of a team. Intangibles create stats, IMO. But if ANYONE else can figure this team out I'd love to hear it. Usually when a team sucks you can kind of see where the issue is and work with it. But now its all just a blur. We can't pass and we can't stop the run. I'm fairly sure a NT in our 3-4 would stop the run and make the defense a lot better, but on offense, its a total clusterfuck to me. |

A QB must be mentally tough when it comes to that, like Aaron Rodgers and Ben Roethlisberger with their situations.

I become a fan of Matt Cassel when he starts earning his pay-check.
He didn't do that last season. Last edited by Pablo; 01-12-2010 at 04:33 PM.. |

Why didn't he improve? Jamaal Charles rushed for over 1,000 yards once LJ was cut, which opened up the passing lanes and proved that the offensive line could at least run block well. Why didn't Cassel improve? |

Mmm....what make Sweet Dick a Cassel fan? A 747 Jumbo loaded with every existing NFL and college prospect of the Quarterback position going down in a flaming, Lynard Skynard-like plane crash, so that Casel is the only Quarterback left... In the world. -Sweet-Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick! ![]() |

Or, I could be talking about all of training camp and 3/4 of preseason.

Didn't receivers drop 7 some odd passes in at least 2 of those 4 games? Don't you think that dropped passes kill drives and stop a QB from getting into a rhthym?

No; a QB is either elite or not. A great offensive line simply gives more time/opportunity for the QB to display his talent, but the offensive line does not "make a QB go from great to elite." Look at Elway, an elite QB who didn't always have the best protection.

That is the point. Winning the super bowl. We've sucked so long that HOW we do that isn't exactly a luxury we can argue over...
