Go ahead and defend that, but please factor in that Thigpen is playing for the league minmum while Cassel will be paid 1/6th of the team's total salary cap.

Oh, so now you are going to swing it to the "first season starting"?
Bulger had a full training camp with the first team. He had the entire playbook available to him.
Cassel did not. McDaniels even said he simplified the offense so Cassel would be comfortable. The guy was thrown to the wolves in the first half of the first game when he hasn't started since high school.
I don't need to factor in salaries. They have no ****ing baring on performance. Everything is black and white with you. Salaries, box scores. There is more to the NFL than that.
I respect the military, but it scares the **** out of me that you actually train young people to prepare for combat.
