That is why I said it was a theory. He got 2 years at the franchise number so for a team that is last in payroll it really isn't that big of a deal.

And the 2 years of QB development, and the waste of the #3 and #34 overall picks?

Bowe has 9 catches, and Chambers has 7. What exactly are you expecting? No WRs on this team are making plays, and I think you can guess why...

That seems to do a pretty good job of leaving out the fact that they gave Cassel 30+ million and they brought in a dickton of former Patriots, anyway.

Cassel, on the other hand.... well, let's just say that I hope the organization is smart enough to let him go after this season.

Matt Cassel is not Brett Favre. #1 - he's a rookie in his 4th game playing a brand new position #2 - his QB isn't hitting open receivers or finding open receivers #3 - given that his role is supposed to be similar to Welker's, kind of hard to slip underneath coverages when the Safeties know you're not going to throw the ball past 10 yards. Give him time to learn. And let's see what he does when we have at least average QB play. McCluster's game is completely taken away when the defense has no respect for the deeper pass. |

The money is meaningless since they are last or next to last in payroll. If they didn't pay Cassel they would be so far at the bottom it wouldn't be funny.

If they have so much confidence in Cassel, why would they then build their offense around a power running game? And why would Charlie Weis design an offense around dink and dunks? It's pretty clear in their gameplanning that the coaches don't have confidence in him. And I'm pretty most people are in the school of thought that the front office's moves for more offensive players is pretty blatantly signalling to Cassel that if he fails this season, he can't blame that on poor o-line play or a poor supporting cast. |

The other argument you can make is that if they do bring in another QB, they want to bring him into a situation like Sanchez or Roethlisberger was brought into... and not the situation Cassel was brought into. But who knows if that's the case. But I always have thought that sometimes good QB's don't make it because they come into a bad situation.
Just look at Clausen. Nobody would've said this before the season... we all thought the Panthers were a good situation, but they look horrible, and he's played horrible. |

Yeah, he probably didn't perform well in practice or whatever the hell it's all about, but practice setting does not = game setting. Honestly, I'd like to see what Brodie is capable of at of this point.
