Cassel averaged 10.92 yards a pass. That's acceptable.

If he would average that all year and have this same completion percentage, we could beat some decent teams.


Still needs to attack down the field to some of the Wr's we have.

The same was said about his performance in week one until the gifs were posted that showed why the plays didnt have a positive end result.

Still holding on?

Watch the replay and try to dispute any of the observations I have posted in this thread.

So....Game 60, maybe?

That may fool you, but I use the "eye test". The same test I used to tell me whether Cassel sucks or not. Guess what? He's worse than Cassel.

God, that was painful.

Apparently, Phobia and myself are the only ones here that took the time to look at the details here and not strictly the end result.

I agree and I don't know what's up with that? I mean there are times in a game when I can see taking the safer play over the riskier one is better. Meaning if you are down by 1 or 2 scores with time left you don't want to **** up a drive trying to get a huge chunk of yards at once when the more conservative plays are yielding results. And given it is preseason you never know what Daboll is telling Cassel and the QB's as far as stuff he wants to see?

Sure. But bottom line is when we rely on the passing game... we are probably going to lose. Run it. Most likely we win. Not that hard to understand.

I will just speculate a little more as well though I do admit it is a bit of a reach but it could be they knew Bowe was coming back so they wanted to get the TE's some work and wait for the WR's to get in their respective positions? I mean preseason is the time to do that and all. Who knows?

I still think Cassel does tend to lose a little confidence in throwing the deep ball in fear of ****ing up a drive.

Can you at least post a couple screen shots for me?

One of both hands on Stanzis facemask (clearly shows it for 21 frames during the slow mo replay) and the other of the ball placement on the interception.

I think that can be said about most teams in the NFL. There aren't but 4-5 QB's that can really succeed without a running game. NE uses the dink and dunk as a psuedo-running game. The west coast offense does similar. Overall though if most teams don't have success running the ball they become one dimensional and tend to lose.

You realize that Copper didn't even touch the ball on that INT? The ball was batted away before Copper could get his hands on it. I don't know about you, but if a CB touches a ball before the WR does, that's probably not a good pass. Agree or disagree?

I can say this...Cassel looks like the best quarterback we have at this point.

Lets see how things are going after the next 7 games...
