Clark Judge loves Matt Cassel, and so should you.

Dane is the voice of reason in this thread. I agree, if he does lay an egg in SD, it won't diminish what Cassel has done so far.

If Cassel fails at San Diego, the same usual suspects who have ripped him every chance they get will come out in droves.

Whereas, they typically make backhanded compliments when he plays well, or show up days later to offer their "support that he keeps playing well".

But the minute he ****s up again, they will be all over this board bitching. One day he's called the worst starting QB in the NFL, then a few weeks later people, the same people complaining, want him to perform like an elite QB.

It's comedy gold.

And what if he fails Sunday?

Or in STL?

You might find it funny, I don't.

Look around the league. 8 of the 12 division leaders have elite QB's.

It's a QB driven league, and will be for quite a while, I think.

He's 28 years old, and he's yet to prove he can win an important road game against a solid opponent. He's yet to show that if parts of the team are faltering, he can put the team on his back and win.

I don't see what the issue is in needing to see that happen at least once before we say the guy is a ****ing franchise QB.

Wow I think he is crying IRL

I'll never say he's a franchise QB. There are about 5 of them in the entire NFL and Cassel never will be that so if that's your expectation then I guess there will be a continued insane amount of bitching.

I do think he's turning into a really solid to very good QB right before our eyes and has made progress that no one on this board thought possible after Week 1.

If the team falters, you guys are going to rip Cassel and blame him for digging a hole for the team anyways... Its a lose-lose arguement. Until Cassel dies or wins a nobel prize, a medal of honor AND 7 superbowls it will be the same back and forth on here.

Uh, yeah, none of us saw this coming.

Who here had a concern that the QB position could potentially hold us back, whether it be over the entire season, or on a game-to-game basis?

That's the whole point. "Better" isn't good enough.

Is there any doubt in anyone's mind that if Cassel had played the Texans, Raiders and Broncos games like he played the Arizona and Seattle games, we would have won those games, and wouldn't be sweating the last 5 weeks?

He was brought here under the pretense he's a franchise QB that can win the big games.

Time to prove it.
