Here's one that I was able to find easily because I got a neg rep in the thread for defending Cassel's performance. (The neg wasn't from Deez, BTW.) Quote:

The pressure to win what is essentially a meaningless game is about equal to the pressure to win a playoff game, or one with huge playoff implications? That about right?

- Cassel won 11 games in N.E. "That doesn't count. Anyone can win in N.E. with that team and coach" - Bledsoe was only 5-13 with Belichick "Bledsoe sucked" - Bledsoe was a Pro Bowl QB both before, and after, his time with Belichick "But I need to see it over the course of a full season" - The Chiefs have 9 wins, and will have a winning season "But I need to see it in critical games" - Cassel just came back from an appendectomy and helped win a game that the team needed in order to stay ahead of the Chargers "But he hasn't won in the playoffs!" - He hasn't played in the playoffs, either, because the 2008 Patriots were unlucky enough to become the only team to miss the playoffs with an 11-5 record since the league went to 4 divisions in the conferences. Manning is .500 in the playoffs, and Matt Ryan is 0-1 in the playoffs. Would you be bashing them, too? If you think the threads haven't gone in a that sort of vein, you haven't been around here much. |

Pressure is not determined by a bunch of people in the stands or watching on television. Furthermore, what a spectator may consider meaningless will not necessarily be the same as what a player considers meaningless.

Milkman and Sully deserve the Congressional Medal of Jesus for dealing with TRR, Saul and JPB in this thread.
This notion that there are people that want Cassel to fail is rooted in ignorance, and is nothing more than an attack on posters they don't like. Nothing more. There's not a single poster here, with the exception of Mecca - who's gone MIA - that hasn't praised Cassel when he's done well. Me, Deez, Hamas, Dane, etc. Every one of us have pointed to his improvement in the pocket. His improved decision making. His leadership. His toughness. There's no doubt he's improved. None. But for some of us, we'd like to see that improvement manifest itself against an elite opponent/in a critical situation before claiming he's an upper echelon QB. He's improved. Is he good enough to win a championship? Remains to be seen IMO. Playing well in a win against a team like Baltimore or Pittsburgh would at least show me that he's capable of doing so. He's improved more than I thought he was capable of, so for that specifically, serve me some crow appetizer if you like. |

If anything, I've noted that I could be wrong. In the context of that specific game and up until that point in Cassel's development, that post was 100 percent correct. |

Cassel won 11 games in NE.... that completely misses the point of the argument. I'm no basher, but the argument is they want Cassel to put a game on his shoulders. Quickly looking at his time in NE, I'd say you could make the argument that he did so 2-3 times, with a supporting cast that helped Brady to a ~120 QB rating the previous year. Quote:
Bledsoe? Are you ****ing kidding me? "That team" has nothing to do with Drew Bledsoe... what the hell? Quote:
Yeah, the Chiefs have 9 wins, but that's completely missing the point. Seeing "it" over the course of the season means consistency out of Cassel. Have we seen that all season? No. (I don't think this was an expectation coming into a season, it's simply saying "before I crown his ass, I'd like to see him play at a high level on a consistent basis"). Quote:
The Rams? Quote:
Again, missing the point... it's not "but, he hasn't won in the playoffs," it's "before I crown his ass, let's see him win meaningful games," and what better game than a playoff game?
