WTF? Matt Cassel is the #1 rated QB in the NFL the last 5 games? True?

Your beloved Rodgers, at home against a rival in a huge game, couldn't hold the ball against the Vikings and was 1 foot away from blowing the game. And while these guys have "done it before", Cassel will get more opportunities now that he's on a team capable of winning.

Stop being so irrational. That game was on the D. Go ahead and label me a "ballwasher"---a label that shouldn't exist on cp--- but I've stated my opinion on Cassel numerous times and it's not a good one. This doesn't mean he shouldn't get some credit (and for more than just protecting the ball). I think his ceiling just may be a bit higher than I thought around week 2 or so.

It's Ok if Rivers or Brady miss throws.
