Now you're just full of shit.

Given that they are still swimming at the beaches, I'd say it's fine.

Yeah, because you can not simply cherry pick how you want to evaluate his play.

He sucked in the first half of the season.

He sucked in the second half, and the play around him in the first half doesn't give him a pass.

Ok.

Given that Tyler Thigpen--yeah, that Tyler Thigpen--posted better stats in 4 less starts, I'd say the talent was fine.

Embellishing slightly, maybe.

But there isn't another QB whose deep ball is or that has been consistently as bad as Cassel's.

And then there's Cassel.

This is a pointless exchange.

Fact: Cassel played like shit in '09.
Fact: He is going to get another chance in '10, and he must play better. No excuses.

I'm sorry but putting hair on Pioli just destroys all identification.

The team around him sucked in the first half. Cassel was hitting players on the numbers and they were dropping the ball. Cassel was running for his life on almost every pass. The running game was 3 feet and a cloud of dust.

It should come as no surprise to anyone with a brain that such a situation would impact the QB and lead to bad habits which will have to be undone. Then again, expecting some of you to use your brains is clearly asking too much.

It's one thing to criticize the player. It's another thing to ignore everything that was going on around him in your haste to bash the guy.

I'm exaggerating, but not very much. His deep ball sucks. It's inarguable.

Even in the first half of the season before the play improved, he left the pocket well before he had too in many of those situations that you refer to as "running for his life", a problem that I bitched about again and again as the season progressed from week one, and sonething that I noted he did when I watched replays of the Patriot games on NFLN from '08.

And he rarely it his receivers in teh numbers.

You're a ****ing idiot to suggest that was the case.

Yes, it's the necessary key to insure a hard-fought loss in rounds 1 or 2.

Consistently. :facepalm:


Snakebit FTW!

And there it was; the cold, hard Truth.:shake:

ROFL

Of course, you ignore the reality that scrambling is part of what scrambling QBs do, that there was generally no pocket to stay in, and the impact that the 10 players who were not playing at decent NFL level around him would have upon him game after game.

So your analysis is worthless, but you got to crack out another insult to someone who got it more accurately than you did. 50/50 post for you. Congrats!
