Ben was "successful" solely because Ben was able to escape DL hits, hands, and arms in the pocket. The Cards should have had 12 sacks, but 6 or so would be "sacks" Ben got away and made big plays. The Steelers won despite their OL because they had a QB who could turn what would be a sack for 90% of NFL QBs into a big play. Cassel cannot do that. If you want to define the Pats season last year as a "success," be my guest. The only thing "successful" about Cassel for the Pats was that they were able to snake away a high Second for him from yet another really dumb franchise obsessed with acquiring anyone and everyone who ever stood next to Belichick. The current Chief obsession with becoming "Pats Light" should result in yet another top 10 Draft pick in April...
