Seems to be that with good corners and safteys we should be able to keep the opposition mostly under control if they want to pass all day. Sure you'll have a big play now and then... but overall it seems we have the personnel to keep that in check for the most part. Maybe I'm wrong.
If our db's can do their job most of the time and we can control the ball throught the running game and score touchdowns more often than field goals then Cassel doesn't need to be great.
Excuse the overly-simplistic viewpoint.

Thats the problem. With the rules that are now in place, you can't control the passing game with CB's and S's. You have to rush and/or knock the shit out of the qb.
Maybe you can win some games with the running attack, but there is gonna come a time when teams can stop the run. Maybe not, if you have a dominant oline, but the qb is gonna have to make plays at one point or another.
That's how the Jets did what they did a few years ago. They ran it controlled the game and played great defense. But Sanchez did make big plays in the playoffs when he was asked to.
