Can't blame him really.

In the end, I don't think he even believed in the managements belief in him. I think he bought it up until the last couple of games though. How embarassing for him to go out in that game Sunday with that gameplan that tried to minimize him. It would be interesting to know how much he played into Pisoli's obsession with keeping him in the starters role. My guess is very little. Just another pawn in Pisoli's psychotic game of chess

I was on the same page everybody on this, and I still mostly am, but when I watch that Ravens Micd Up video I sort of change my tune.

The way they talk about how Cassel is checking out of passing plays...maybe Daboll was trying to give him some shots but it was actually Cassel that was too scared to pull the trigger..?? Maybe he was protecting himself more than the coaches even were..??

Either way, the fact still remains, the guy can't play QB that way. He was a shitty QB with confidence. Take that way and you've got absolutely nothing.
