He is quite accurate. The result of alot of pass plays during the year was Cassell either throwing sideways, or throwing straight in front of him to someone on a crossing route, whether it was Faulk or Welker in the gap between the LBs and DBs, or a Moss or Welker doing a deeper in cut.
That speaks to his ability to see the entire field. We'll see how that comes along. It seemed to imrpove over the course of the season, but his excellent accuracy in the short/mid range throws was a saving grace.

This alone makes him a completely different quarterback when compared to Thigpen.
End of discussion.

Both 7th rounders. Both big strong armed guys, had all the tools. Lets hope Cassel has a better head.

Heh. These complaints are every complaint for any QB that doesn't win the SB. You want a breakdown of Elway, Montana, Bradshaw, Aikman, and Marino's deficiencies? There's a laundry list. It's not about, "I see this, I see that." Hell, the coaches are on edge with every playcall and pass with the Johnny Unitases of the world.

Hey, can Cassell help it if Moss doesn't run fast enough to catch up to the ball???

I noticed he had a 63% completion percentage. Very good for a first year starter.

I watched him throw some decent posts. Of course the highlight reel didn't show all the misses and I'm confident you saw about 12 games more than I did last year so I'll defer to you. But the deep throws I did watch him make gave me a 4 hour boner compared to what I saw from Tyler ****ing Thigpen last year. And I'm pretty sure I saw about 15 more games of him than you did.

Pennington has made an entire career on it and it alone for chrissakes. Cassell has very good accuracy, and good instincts. Not alot of stupid decisions. Heck -- good decision-making should have been another strength. The question isn't whether his decisions are GOOD, ti's whether they are made FAST enough. They had to go to alot of shotgun to help him process the field faster. By later in the season, he was processing his options much faster, but still not fast enough. Then again, I have Tom frickin' Brady as my baseline, so maybe I just don't have a fair frame of reference.
