Grbac was king of the deer in the headlights look.
He lost a playoff game in Arrowhead vs. Denver, partly because he botched a two minute drill (final play was a lame pass somewhere in the same area code as Lake Dawson). He ran out of time waiting for plays to come in from the OC. He had no ability to think on his feet, he could only do what the OC told him to do, and if a play was late getting into the huddle, he was clueless. I see some of that in Cassel. He's robotic, doesn't have any Favre improv in him at all.
On the plus side, he has thrown more than 100 passes with no picks, and that's a good thing. Also, he's only been a starter for about a two years (counting New England) and he's still learning on the job. He does seem pretty studious on the sideline, and I agree that he usually goes down swinging when he does go down.
