The fact that the top 4 guys are so different is what makes it interesting, and tough to predict QB success. Even Brees' and Rothlisberger's ability to make plays out of the pocket are completely different. Brees avoids contact. Ben's size enables him to break free from people grabbing at him and he can throw well while being hit.

60% is good, but I'd prefer that number to be around 66.

Remember when Trent Green was our QB and late in the 4th when we needed a score you KNEW we were gonna get it?

That.

My biggest issue with Cassel has been that when we needed a score, or a first down, you hoped he might not choke. That's a big difference.

That is the one part of Greens game that I felt was missing. Regardless of how bad the defense was, when we absolutely needed the offense to score, we usually came up short... even if the offense had already put up 35 points.

That is what I hope Cassel can do. Put the ball in a real tight space when the time on the clock absolutely demands it. That remains to be seen, but he is taking strides towards being able to do that.

4th quarter comebacks,winning,no injuries and ball on target.My biggest gripe with Cassel is over throwing a WIDE OPEN receiver.I like him but he has to make those throws and passes in stride.The next two games will tell us all we need to know!

My only qualification is that he can lead block half as well as Trent Green. Cassel has also showed improvement in this area.

and to be done with one eye closed without any offensive lineman or backs and to be throwing to two receivers with no arms

All about the "it." When the moments are the biggest and most pressure-filled, can he elevate his game and get the job done?

Hootie 12-02-2010 01:47 PM

like Tom Brady...leading his team against prevent defenses in Super Bowls on 20 yard drives so Vinatieri could nail 3 45+ yard field goals...

that's clutch!

Don't forget the consistent checkdown passes that are considered brilliant when he does them.

With the game on the line, does he the guile to look off a Safety to draw him away from the middle, and the ability to deliver that ball into the seam? Especially with pressure?

IMO, Matt Cassel doesn't throw that route/ball well at all. It's more of a paper airplane floater that makes every fan crack his/her knuckles or hold his/her breath while that particular throw is in the air.

The last few games he's really been whipping it in there though.
