I'm willing to call him "fine." But just fine, though. I don't think I'd even call him good yet until I see him in the regular season.

It's kind of like watching a rookie or a young first-year starting QB. Except without the hope of watching a star bloom before our eyes.

So basically his range is from awful to fine to you. Glad you're approaching this with an open mind.

I've been saying all offseason that we got another Cassel! This is ****in 2009 all over again!

I can't wait for the season to start and things to be settled in the field, one way or the other. I'll gladly say trading for Smith was a mistake if it doesn't work. I have a strong feeling it won't happen the other way. Sure some will say I was wrong about Smith if things go well, but others, like this guy, will hide, waiting for a bad game.

Another thing that I'm worried about is Cassel has one attribute better than Alex at this point and it's his toughness. He never shied away from getting rocked once he got flushed out of the pocket and decided to scramble for yards. Seeing Alex take that 2 yard loss made me feel like maybe he would rather lose yards than gain something or get back to the LoS and get hit. I hope he's not scared of getting injured again and plays it cautious. Even Manning scrambled when he absolutely had to.

Matty NEVER tried those downfield throws unless he was forced to.
