I've been rooting for him from day one. I love his leadership, temperament, and off-the-field presence and contributions to the community. If he gets protection and some help from the rest of the offense, maybe he will mature and develp that elusive intangible that separates him from elite quarterbacks--pocket-presence and poise (yeah, yeah he lacks elite arm strength, but we can work around that.) I'll continue to root for him this year--but after that, enough is enough.
This team is young and building itself the right way, IMHO. If Cassel blows it this year, no matter the reason...I say, we move on. Given the lack of elite talent available to QB NFL teams, that won't be easy. So, yeah...hell yeah, "Let's go Matt!" Maybe you can be the second coming of Rich Gannon or better yet, Trent Green. A serious run at becoming one of them, would be a big deal at this point.
