I agree with this.

Yes you are...

FYP

Almost.

You forgot the "Mc" like in McNair, one tough SOB.

Croyle is due a win, hopefully if Cassel can't go Croyle gets his first W ...

So Mark Castle changed his name like Chad Johnson did?

So now its Mark McCastle?

Absolutely.

That way we know he's a tough SOB, see.....

:)

HardMcCastle and McCormick. This fall on ABC!

Snake Rassle is a baaaaaaaaaad mother-
Shut Yo Mouth!

It's the age old question about gimpy QBs, is it not? OR, any key injured player. You don't want to eat up a gameday roster spot if the guy goes out and can't go after a play or two, but you also want to give yourself the best chance to win.

So you weigh the up vs down sides of the decision to play the guy or let him heal another week. Pressure to win, being what it is with first year head coaches and GMs, I think Cassel will be thrown out there and hopeful that he's able to operate at near full strength.

Well, I don't know how much pressure Pioli and Haley have to win this year.

I'm thinking they have a free pass for this season because the roster is so talent depleted, and they have to completely eliminate the stink of the last regime.

There's a ton of work to get accomplished.

I'm sure some of you heard, but I haven't seen it here yet. Yesterday on Chris and Cowboy, Bill Maas mad the prediction that the qb job was Croyle's to lose. I thought they were joking. That's what Billy Bob said. He even repeated himself.

Probably the nuttiest story IMO, EVAH!!!!

Or Billy Boy's on the sauce.

The way he was reportedly moving in practice, I'd think they might activate Cassel but not start him. Or they might even have him as the third, emergency, QB.

Really, though. It's in Arrowhead. It's the frickin' Raiders. Even Croyle or Thigpen should be able to beat them.

Well,

That would be something. Pay out a huge multi-million $$$ contract to Cassel and then have the 2d team guy as the one to beat out? I suppose stranger things have happened in the past in the NFL.

There was this 6th rounder in NE who...(you know the rest). If Croyle becomes all that and a bag of chips, beating out Cassel, it will create long hours for Thum but the outcome is the outcome.

My way of saying, let the games begin and the best stud win. Can I get an Amen?
