Matt Cassel did something yesterday I didn't think possible...

Look at his YPA for yesterdays game...3.9, how the **** do you only have 3.9 yards per attempt in a game? That is laughably awful. |

I've always viewed Cassel as our transitional QB and I believe Pioli does, as well. Pioli is just getting started with the team and wanted somebody he's familiar with that would upgrade the position in the process, buying him some time to focus on other areas.
Some act like we can never draft a QB in the future, because we passed this year and nothing could be further from the truth. We gave up a SECOND ROUND PICK for a starting QB. We don't pay him big money for a starting QB. I fail to see the problem with Pioli's game-plan. He's allowed us to get a player that should help us for the next few years and yet doesn't ruin our cap, so that we can't pursue another QB, if Cassel should faulter. So many have forgotten, this is YEAR ONE of a complete overhaul of one of the worst teams in the league.

How do you go from giving a QB half a season (which you should pretty much do every ****ing time) to we're stuck with him for 4 years? You just love negativity and misery apparently. |

I think Cassel is his franchise QB, and he's going to be given a minimum of two years to succeed or fail, and I feel like it may well be three years. I think that mecca sees it much the same as I stated above, though it's apparent he believes that Cassel will be given four years of rope.

I'm just hoping he can eventually get comfortable in a pro set. That is very important to his development and growth.

The contract lets them make a move after the second year, but part of the reason I see it as 3 years is that I just down really see any good QBs in the draft coming down the pipeline after the second year, due in large part to the uncapped year we're staring at.

Who ever is back there this season is going to take a pounding. No place for Brodie or a rookie. Thigpen would have just stalled the offense from learning how to play in the NFL.
Cassel for a 2nd may just have been the best choice in hindsight. |
