Cassel did, does, and will always suck

[Thig Lyfe]

I had backed off on my Cassel hate in the second half of the season because he actually started to play with a modicum of competence. But I never stopped being wary of him, because he was playing well against shitty, shitty ****ing teams.

But today is proof positive that Cassel is NOT the answer. He will NOT be a franchise quarterback. He simply doesn't have the ability or the intelligence that is required. He never really progressed this season; he just managed to not shit himself against the NFC West.

Can we all just agree that he's not the answer? Please?

If he doesn't get the job - Quote me on this - we can kick the ****ers ass.

Dude....you act like that mf'er has never played QB before! He is a high paid "professional." He's no longer a "work in progress!" What we see is what he is. When the rush is on he folds like a little bitch and becomes detrimental to the team!

Turnovers put us behind in this game but Cassels play prevented us from getting back into it. We need to find a QB bad!

You and I could of made that NFL throw all day long...

Yeah, I suppose I saw what I think is an average QB playing wretchedly.

Anyone up for trading Cassel to Minnesota for their #1 and then packaging those two #1s to move up and take Gabbert?

(I honestly think the Vikings would be desperate enough to bite on that)

Thanks for being a dumbass.

That's the stupidest retort to 11 interceptions I've ever seen.

Game 1 receptions:

38 total 8 to Wayne, 5 to Garçon, 5 to Collie, 3 to Brown, 17 to others

Game 2 receptions:

31 total, 5 to Garçon, 5 to Brown, 5 to Wayne, 16 to others

Game 3 receptions:

36 total, 14 to Wayne, 8 to Garçon, only 14 to others

And those numbers don't even count the passes to Tamme, who'd been a significant part of the offense since game 4. He had 7 receptions in both games 1 and 2, and 4 receptions in game 3, of that stretch. Manning was clearly targeting familiar targets that were able to get open, and anyone who watched those games could see his struggles trying to incorporate players like White into the offense.

Again, thanks for helping to make my point.

You actually think they are going to abandon everything right now?

Seriously...

As much as we might hate it, it is what it is... Cassel will get 3 more years at a min...

Flacco made tight, NFL throws to extend drives. Cassel regressed to the Cassel of old -- the one who holds onto the ball way too long and doesn't trust himself.

Rep. Right on

He looked absolutely intimidated by the Ravens defense. He listed to all of the reports on NFL network about Ed Reed ball hawking..... Completely intimidated.

Meoaki was open also, but Cassel didn't recognize or audible down to him when the Ravens were blitzing or when the had 8 men stacked.

Please don't get my hopes up.

This is where Cassel's deceptively good stat line would come in handy...

[googlegoogle]

Funny how Cassel looks good when the running game works and receivers are running free.

Some even thought he might go to the probowl.

Obviously a QB doesn't need any help to win a game according to Sportracer.




























lol.
