That's much better than signing Sanchez who is a big risk to a big long term contract. Sanchez is not a only a risk bc of lack of experience but also because of his knees and possible injury problems.

Excellent theory there Bubb! Kudos.
And if he does struggle in his second season in the same manner as, say, Derek Anderson, we can look at drafting a proven quality quarterback in next years draft like Sam Bradford. And I'd give up my Jermaine Gresham dream for a shot at Bradford - if Cassel doesn't pan out, but my guess is that he'll be just fine.
