Where were you when I needed you, man?

Just kidding. I'm in the same boat as you. But if 2010 is his evaluation year, which I said it was, it's not off to a good start. IMO.

Hatred is such an ugly word. I prefer the term "meltdown button", it in has the right amount of edge to it without the ugliness.

what is your take on why Cassel is so bad throwing the ball over 15 yards both last year and this year? He has been horrible at it statistically.

In all of 2008, for you guys, he only completed 8 passes over 20 yards in the air ALL YEAR and only completed 40% of all passes over 10 yards. This was for an offense that Tom Brady broke the passing TD mark for the year before, so this should have been an area he should have excelled at...

In 2009, his numbers were expectedly down but were scary low.

He completed the same amount of passes over 20 yards as he had in NE (8) all year and only completed 37% of all passes thrown over 20 yards.

I can tell you from personal experience that 7 out of those 8 passes were HORRIBLY underthrown and when they werent they were horribly overthrown, NEVER on target and it was a miracle they weren't intercepted. Chambers saved at least 5 of them.

I think Matt will develop into a qb similar to Pennington in that he will likely learn to protect the ball very well and limit his mistakes, but that will come at the cost of not stretching defenses and that will kill him in the playoffs as it has done to Chad all throughout his career. I dont think we can win a championship with that. He doesnt have Toms arm (which isnt great, but is very very functionable)

I also fear (maybe that is the wrong word) that his perplexity to hold the ball too long may get him injured sometime, I also hope all these hits dont get him permanently shell shocked and he learns to go through his progressions and find the open man before he pannicks like he routinely did last year.

If you have the time, can you give me a whole overview of what you got from Matt Cassels play from a fans standpoint of when he was "doing well"? I am literally not trying to set up up into argument and if you choose to avoid such can you pm me the overview because I have a genuine interest in hearing the bright side of our kid because its hard to see right now.

thanks in advance!

But...but...whatever shall you do when your boyfriend has left us? :p
