Aikman was good. Three superbowls. One with Barry Switzer.

To me, Cassel is a little like a pitcher that's a slow starter, but gets more comfortable as the season goes along. Now, if he can just finish strong.

I think the great quarterbacks of THIS era are very smart, calm under pressure, and accurate passers (in that order of importance).
The great quarterbacks of the past eras also had to be more physically dominating, and could get by on their arm strength, or toughness. It wasn't as esoteric of a game, I don't think. If you put a Terry Bradshaw on the 2011 Patriots, he'd probably be so confused he'd quit. Likewise, if you put Tom Brady on Bradshaw's Steelers, he'd be in a curled fetal position and pounded into a grass stain in about a half-hour. |

I've often compared Brady to Bradshaw because they both have/had an innate ability to glide in the pocket to avoid pressure, and both make/made throws in the face of pressure and do/did not shy away from the contact. Brady is a tougher SOB than he gets credit for. If you said the same thing about Peyton, I would agree with you.

If I remember right, there was some sort of formula that all the elite QB's met when coming into the league from college.
Someone brought it up when we were discussing Stanzi around draft time, because he falls into all the similar characteristics that Brady had coming out of school. It might have been based on some Parcell thing.... hmm.. i don't remember exactly

Great QBs need good football smarts so they can make good pre-snap reads and get everybody in the right position and on the same page of the playbook pre-snap.
Great QBs have to have the mental toughness to make good decisions knowing they're going to get pounded when they release the pass. Great QBs will use great timing and accuracy to pass their target open (lead the receiver into space instead of coverage). I think Cassel is average at best in these essential great QB attributes. |

If a QB throws a ball and the guy gets 20 yards on 1st and 10 it's a 1st down/Redthat
