Big Ben survived a horrible offensive line because he's enormous and impossible to bring down. He's one of very few starting QBs that can do that.
An offensive line is a very valid excuse for a QB to not perform well. Over time, the good QBs can learn to develop a quick release like Brady and Brees, but again, you're talking about the cream of the crop. The vast majority of QBs in the NFL are dependent on their offensive line to give at least mediocre protection.

I just complemented Cassel in that post.
Reading is fundamental.
But he's done it before, you can't have it both ways and credit him for being successful in NE then using it as a crutch in KC.
