He sucked in the second half, and the play around him in the first half doesn't give him a pass.

The team around him sucked in the first half. Cassel was hitting players on the numbers and they were dropping the ball. Cassel was running for his life on almost every pass. The running game was 3 feet and a cloud of dust.

It should come as no surprise to anyone with a brain that such a situation would impact the QB and lead to bad habits which will have to be undone. Then again, expecting some of you to use your brains is clearly asking too much.

It's one thing to criticize the player. It's another thing to ignore everything that was going on around him in your haste to bash the guy.
