Now, Sanchez has proven me wrong already. Now, he hasn't proven to be a pro bowler yet, but he has been more of a leader than I thought he would be. I will probably eat crow for a while on Sanchez. I am prepared to do that. But, 'unlimited' upside?
Okay, now, for Cassel..... really, you think he has hit his ceiling? You mean, like Trent Green, Rich Gannon, Terry Bradshaw, Steve Young, Matt Hasselbeck, and many others. These are just the ones that came to mind.
I don't know how much better Cassel will get. No one on this board does, because frankly, his level of play currently was considered impossible five weeks ago.

WTF are you talking about?
This exact scenario was discussed by several of us the minute Weis was hired.
We knew that to "fix the QB" Weis would mask his deficiencies by throwing a lot of underneath stuff, hoping for YAC. Hell, I even vaguely recall someone, maybe Hamas saying he'd probably throw for 175 a game and that people would praise him for it.
And sure as shit, 6 games in, he's thrown for an average of 174, and people are acting as if he's "improved" because he's cut his INT's in half - because Weis doesn't ask him to make difficult throws.
