Laz,
I really want to defend Cassel, but I can't. I want to see something that gives me hope that he is going to send this offense into high gear, but I don't. And what is worse, I really can not blame the parts around him. The O-line may not be littered with pro-bowlers, but I suspect there are worse lines in the NFL. He has been given a fairly competent receiving core, yet there seems to be nothing developing between the QB and those receivers. And he has RB's... two at least in Charles and McCluster... that can run behind said O-line.
All I see out of our QB is a quality of play that is much closer to that of a Jamarcus Russell... capable of 1 decent drive a game, 2 at most... vs the other end of the spectrum where every single offensive possession has the makings of points.
I want to see it. I really do. It's nothing personal against Cassel with me, I just want to see competent QB play. I'm not seeing it. And I am not going to pass the blame to other offensive players to mask the blame either.
