Even by Cassel standards yeah he had some really bad games last season. I just have to think that without Haley screaming at him and getting plays in with 5 seconds he will be better than that maybe back to 2010 form.

I don't think we can underestimate the negative effect of the logisitics of their play calling last season. We know Cassel isn't the most adept at reading defenses so it surely made it even harder on him to only get to see the pre-snap defensive lineup for a few seconds. Also having Charles will make any QB look better.
