Cassel will never be a Manning/Montana/Marino type. Ever. The best we can hope for is for him to be Dilfer - an effective game manager who can win if his supporting cast picks him up and he's not asked to do too much. Certainly not worth $63M, but it is what it is. |

Wow...I can't believe what I'm reading.
We were the better team today and we lost...it happens all of the time in the NFL. I can't believe you guys don't agree...how were we the inferior team today? OMG The Cardinals beat the Saints two weeks ago... are the Cardinals a better team than the Saints? |

Cassel won't play as well as he did today consistently. They have a good run defense. We did better today running than I expected to do, perhaps because of Cassel's effectiveness. Our defense had its worst day of the season, but I don't think they played badly. I think the Texans' multidimensional offense is too much for our defense at this stage of its development, especially in a road game. The D could have tackled better and we would have won today, due to the above average offensive day. But on another day we would tackle better, the Texan's would get their 24 points and we'd struggle to break 20. |

The Chiefs are the only team that the QBs stats are affected by YAC. Amazing and quite special....LOL

But then you fall into a slippery slope. Should we take away Schaub yards when Andre Johnson makes a circus catch on a long bomb? While I understand your point, the play was set up because Cassel found the right guy and led him with a good pass. That's a lot more than we can say for the rest of the season so far.

I disagree...
Our offense is underrated...teams HAVE to gameplan against our run which was enough for us to take advantage of their porous pass defense. We are a better team than the Houston Texans. And they are a good team. We will win the AFC West barring a dramatic injury or two to key players. |

I'm not here to side yes or no if Cassel is to blame, but to counter the OP's numbers argument
Texans Week 1 - 433 yards 3 touchdowns (Peyton) Week 2 - 426 yards 1 touchdown (McNabb) Week 3 - 284 yards 2 touchdowns (Romo) Week 4 - 278 yards 2 touchdowns (Gradkowski) Week 5 - 297 yards 3 touchdowns (Eli) Week 6 - 201 yards 3 touchdowns (Cassel) Now if you use this as a measuring stick, (which you should, because it's the ****ing 31st ranked PASS DEFENSE in the ENTIRE LEAGUE) then that means the numbers a skewed to make even bad players look good. Cassel falls somewhere around and or under the Bruce Gradkowski/Tony Romo range and I think the consensus around here is those guys stink, so I'm sure a similar case can be made for Cassel. I'm not saying to blame him for the loss, but I'm saying his numbers are far under what the Texans have given up against other QBs and I'm not sure if his numbers are skewed because the play calling has him on such a short leash (compared to all the other QBs the Texans have faced that pretty much have free reign to be a gunslinger) or he is really that bad. But either way, it paints him in a very serviceable light when you see how a range of 5 (good and bad) QBs have also done against the Texans this season. |
