The only difference in Cassel and Thigpen is that I think Cassel is better at reading defenses. I think mentally he's a pro, he just lacks the arm strength and accuracy to be a Pro Bowler.
I don't buy this "all Cassel does is make one read" stuff that's been floating around because I've seen him go through progressions and make good decisions, both in New England and KC. I never felt like Thigpen had that down. The pro game always seemed to big for him.
With Cassel I more get the feeling that he's just not talented enough to be a real difference maker. He's Jake Plummer with two inches tacked on. If you surround him with the right guys he might lead you to a winning season but that's about it.
