Matt Cassel is only a good QB when the table is perfectly set. Which is why the idea that a game manager is okay breaks down. Cassel can never beat a team in a shootout. Even the best of defenses like Pittsburgh force the QB to gunsling from time to time. We saw it time and time again. People blame our defense for giving up too many TDs against Denver 2 years or MIami last year or many of our other blowouts. Nobody mentions that Cassel always starts pathetically slow and it puts the game out of reach in the 1st quarter. Our high % of blowouts... people blame Haley most, but the top guy to blame is Cassel.
I hate that this is true. But only through these kinds of blowouts will a message be sent that an average game manager isn't good enough.
