I tend to believe he has to learn it on the job, so to speak, but either way, your assertion that he has the work ethic to improve in that area is off base.

I think it's a combination of both. I'm sure he's put the work in already to reading defenses and recognizing blitzes, but it's a lot different on the field from seeing that on tape. I truly believe that what separates Brees, Brady, and Manning from most of the rest of the pack, is that they put in twice the time in the film room as most QBs. Cassel apparently has that. Maybe it's over-optimism, but I think as he learns by doing on the field, that process is only going to accelerate if he continues to put work into learning from his mistakes on tape and perhaps recognizing when he missed reads or when he missed a blitz pick-up.
