Smith is coming from a similar offense with a single decent receiver to a team with a Top Three WR in Bowe, a solid veteran in Avery, as gadget receiver in McCluster and a similar tight end in Fasano.
Smith played lights out with lessor skilled players whereas Cassel played in an unconventional offense with greater players.
The parallels between the two players, other than compensation, don't exist.

My biggest difference is that Cassel was a backup QB in every sense of the word... including his college days.
Smith is a starting QB... at all levels.
Major difference.
But I agree with your assessment as well.
