This is a completely idiotic statement. Cassel may not have "elite" talent, but he is a very good leader from what I have seen, and what his teammates have stated.

Elite talent is few and far between. You need a leader, and Cassel is definitely that. I loved the way he took Savage under his wing after his mistakes and stayed with receivers after drops. A lesser "leader" may have packed it in after the horrid OL play this season.

Coaches and other players were always having to talk him up. "I can't throw the ball and catch it, too" is something you would never, ever hear Cassel say.

Yeah, I'd agree on that.

Maas usually has good football takes. He's wrong this time.
Cassel may or may not be the answer, but he is NOT Elvis Grbac.

Grbac was NEVER the kind of QB to go and wrap his arm around a young player after they made a mistake on the field.

n00b. LMAO

Cassel reminds me more of Bill Kenney.

At least he hasn't sat out due to marginal injury like a "neck burner...."

I REALLY wish the archives could go back in time to show this is exactly what I surmised happened as far as what transpired between Elvis and People magazine. ROFLROFLROFL

One of my favorite all-time stories is about Elvis Grbac (left), Rich Gannon (right) and People Magazine’s Sexiest Men issue from 1998. It is both outlandish and 100-percent true.

Back in the day I knew many People staffers, and they were all cool, fun, intelligent—and woefully ignorant about sports. Every year, in planning the Sexiest Men issue, People’s editors would ask a bunch of us at Sports Illustrated for suggestions and insight. In 1998, for a reason I’ll never understand, they decided not to seek out help.

The magazine chose Rich Gannon as its Sexiest Athlete. At the time, Gannon was a member of the Kansas City Chiefs. Still a couple of seasons removed from his golden tenure with the Raiders, Gannon was 33, handsome and likable. In other words, a solid choice. Yet People, being People, simply informed the photographer assigned to the piece that the Sexiest Athlete was the Chiefs’ quarterback. Hence, he took pictures of the Chiefs’ quarterback. Well, one of the Chiefs’ quarterbacks: Elvis Grbac.

Yup.

The pictures made their way back to the New York offices, and editors were dumbfounded. This was their Sexiest Athlete? Yet upon learning the truth, no one with the magazine had the heart (guts?) to tell Grbac that an unfathomable mistake had been made. As a result, Elvis Grbac reigns as People’s 1998 Sexiest Athlete.

The article’s final line says it all: “His personality makes him sexy.”

Amen.

Gunn must have been heartbroke. Missed having a sweet babboII by this>< much.

Give him a league-average (or preferrably better) OL and more than 1 guy to throw to, then if he's still not doing much better, we'll talk about Cassel being a disappointment.

Maas is stupid, cassel is nothing like Grbac

Grbac was a strong arm QB who wasn't mobile and was a prima donna douche

cassel is a average arm QB who is mobile and not a prima donna at all.

Cassel may or may not turn out to be a stud QB but the comparison to Grbac is totally stupid.

Cassel is more like Jeff Garcia if anything

Cassel reminds me more of David Carr.
