Cassel or Sanchez?

True, I wasn't trying to gloss over that... Brady was a great QB without a stellar set of WRs.

That's the thing - nobody knows. Look at Tom Brady in that 'offensive system' prior to Moss/Welker. Brady was a consistent winner and nice stats producer. Enter Moss/Welker and he rewrites the record books.

So, Cassel stepped into an offense with two phenom WRs that had helped Brady be one of the top 2-3 QBs in the league for the last half decade.

Yeah, I totally get why some may question Cassel's ability to produce outside of that environment. Could he be Tom Brady part Deaux? Sure... but, I have to see it to believe it.
