Cassel's a nice "stop gap" guy. He's good in the locker room and knows his role. Unfortunately, Scott Pioli mistook that as him being a capable starter and of course, we all know the rest.

But he's not Alex Smith, as if that should be any kind of barometer, anyway.

Smith and Cassel are cut from the same cloth. They're both stop gap quarterbacks at best.
