2004 - his last season at USC. He was a walkon - it's not like he was too busy playing football. Drafted in the 36th round for his athletic ability. As for Carson Palmer - what do you expect him to say about a teammate? The idea that transferring to a school where you will play is quitting - THAT'S idiotic. |

The idea that he stayed at USC to compete is a joke. He got what, 30 passes in four years? To the vast majority of the world, someone who loses out getting a job should go get a different job, not hang around the company sweeping the floors and waiting for the first guy to die so he can re-apply. |

P.S. When Brady lost out on the starting job in Michigan and New England, should he have just quit and started looking for another job? |

Ah Hell. We have a one year deal to see what Cassel has. Reading debate between Brady and Cassel has lowered my already low IQ into the negative. Brady is a HOFer, Cassel is a flash in the pants SO FAR. Based on the history of similar situations with backups signing with other teams, I am not expecting much from Cassel.
PLEASE stop comparing the two. Brady went 16-0 with the team that Cassel filled in on. There is NO comparison between the two. |

By the way, I think you're short-changing yourself. You show signs of positive IQ. Maybe a resurgence. |

Yeah, here's a little food for thought:
Guy sits on bench and does prep work for his chosen vocation for almost a decade. Guy finally get's his shot, plays like a finely honed razor blade by the end of the season, and gains league-wide respect in the process. That's some pretty wicked ****ing A-Game for someone not taking hundreds of snaps since High School through College. Let that shit sink-in and marinate, bitches. Orton blows. Donks need to quit talking up something that doesn't exist. It's just pathetic. Seriously; just...stop.

Before I started posting on football message boards I probably had enough intelligence to design a perpetual motion machine, cure cancer, and finally fix the E.D. problem for aging males. After the recent draft I can barely feed myself, I am infinately entertained by Sponge Bob, and I find myself staring at walls for hours. What is next?!?!?! Am I going to start watching SOCCER?!?! |

Regardless, Pioli was in the organization and thought enough of Cassel to trade for him so I'm fine w/ it until the on field results state otherwise. Having said that, Cassel has much to prove. My confidence in him is based solely on my confidence in Pioli's ability to evaluate talent, not Cassel's ability to perform for one season when he has Randy Moss and Wes Welker, et al to work with. |

I think New England's coaching combined with Brady's drive made Brady who he is today. It takes more then talent at QB to be good.
You have to have patient coaches who know how to teach a QB and allow him to grow through mistakes. That is the key IMO. |
