Also, as Chiefs fans can, no doubt, remember, he didn't have any trouble throwing the deep ball from his own end zone in week one. By the end of last season, with teams all having the book on Cassel, they weren't able to "play tight, safeties up, jump routes, and dare him to throw it deep" enough to beat the Patriots.

Newsflash: Cassel is not the best QB in the NFL. That doesn't mean that Cassel can't play. It means he's in with every other QB in the game who's not named Tom Brady.

Moss was not triple teamed with Cassel at QB. Show me a clip of a "deep ball" by Cassel and I will show you a rainbow floater.
