With Weis as an OC, in today's NFL that so heavily favors passers, those #s will be what it will take for me to accept Matt Cassel as our starting QB. That makes him right on the fringe of a top 10 QB. I can live with that.

So you expect him to be better than he was in NE (89.4 QB rating) when he was throwing to Welker & Moss?

Yes. Essentially, he needs to be something he's not.

In all seriousness, if Pioli acquired Cassel thinking he'd seen his ceiling, then the former is dumb as ****.

Cassel should, eventually, have better numbers than he had in NE. "Should" being the operative word. Any takers?

I want him to be a top 10 quarterback, those are the #s commensurate with a top 10 QB. The question asked what it would take for me to be a fan of Matt Cassel. I think asking him to be in the top 1/3 of the league is hardly unreasonable.

So yes, those are the numbers that will take me to be a fan of his.

Now as to your question - do I "expect" him to do that? Oh hell no, I expect him to once again suck because he is, in fact, a lousy quarterback.

So using the good ol' transitive property, I think it's fair to say that I don't expect to be purchasing a Matt Cassel jersey next season.
