I don't give a rat's ass if Cassel is the nicest mother****er to ever walk the planet, he's still a useless piece of shit on the field.

Yep... I'd probably like him if he was the quarterback at Kansas. He couldn't win a starting job at a real football school, he tries real hard and he's a nice guy... can't expect much more when you're watching Kansas football.
This is the NFL though... a team in a quarterback league that has decent talent otherwise and hasn't won shit in almost 2 decades. And if last year didn't make it obvious enough, there's no telling when the window of opportunity will close for the most talented players on the team.
This isn't college or Team USA... they're professional athletes making more money than most of us will see in a lifetime, and it costs over $100 if you want to see them live for 3 hours. Trying hard is the absolutely minimun expectation. I wouldn't go as far as saying I'd enjoy watching a team of felons win a SB, but I'd certainly put up with some prima donnas over a bunch of nice guy who can't win a playoff game.
