But he hasn't.

Yet.

If you're disappointed because he didn't dump starters on cutdown day, then I'd say you're just looking to be disappointed. Magee's another story, although it looked like he may have gotten the "you're expendable" message judging by the way he played against the Packers. I'm thinking somebody straight out told him "show something or you're gone".

There's still some conjecture that Jackson maybe needs to get that message, too, but I can't say either way on that.

As far as Cassel goes, the problem with cutting him now is that he was the only first string QB throughout the offseason and preseason it would leave Croyle as the only QB on the roster. If they were going to make that move, it needed to be done in March, not now.

My post was contradictory to Rad's, not a realistic depiction of events.

There are some here that think Cassel won't be cut in 2011, regardless of his 2010 performance because that would mean Pioli admitting defeat. I'm not to condemn him at this point but it'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

But IMO, there is no reason why Magee should be on the squad. None.

I'm with you on that one. I think if Cassel plays poorly to the point that it costs the team victories, he's gone. What I worry about (and what I expect to see) is what happens when Cassel has an average year that doesn't either significantly hamper or enhance the team's performance.

he could - and should - easily put up an 80 QB rating with Weis' dink and dunk...

which would probably mean we keep him for 4 years

and all the pats fans, pioli zombies, and pawnsmokers spend two more years celebrating the time we're wasting on a fraud...

and then we start all over again in 2012

i honestly believe this is the most probable series of events...and it makes me want to kill all the candy and sunshine in the world
