It's the sort of thing happens with most quarterbacks during games when the team is getting overwhelmed. It happened enough to Cassel last year that he's expecting it every game now, and the important thing moving forward is what he does about it, because he definitely let it get to him over the course of last season. His attitude on the field is also something I'd be worried about if I were the coaching staff, because he's at the point where he's letting every failed play get to him in a way you can see on the field, and his teammates are certainly going to notice that.
But noting those issues, and bitching about everything the man does, are two different things. He made some very nice throws against Philadelphia, and he had the team in the game when he left the field, yet some of the posters here are acting as if he went 0-for-60 and knifed six little old ladies during the timeouts.
