Similarly, it's disingenuous to heap too much praise on Cassel for his performance at the end of the OAK game when his play in the earlier part of the game was a significant factor for why the team wasn't already (potentially comfortably) ahead.

Ben Roethlisberger throws for about 3,000 yards every year and always has as many QBs as he does INTs.
He has made his mark in the NFL by being able to make plays when they count most. And when he makes a big 4th quarter go-ahead drive, his defense usually steps up and makes a big stop when they need to.
Are you going to say that Big Ben is a below average QB because he has pretty good 1st halves, but very good 4th quarters? I don't understand why Sanchez got so much praise for throwing for 150 yards but making plays when it matters most, but Cassel gets criticized for essentially doing the same thing but not having the defense to close out those games in most cases.
