Really hard not to like Matt Cassel.

How'd that work out for us?

Oh, yeah.

Cassel wins the special Olympics of quarterbacks and you want us to like him for it.

How would you feel if Tebow was our QB? Because he's the same ****ing pea from the pod that Cassel was created from.

We lost our best players on offense and defense, and still came within a blocked kick of the playoffs.

Shrug.

I do what to highlight the other thing in your post, though, because it's an important distinction from what I'm trying to argue:

Because no, no I am not saying that. I've been exasperated as much as anybody else by Cassel's poor play.

I'm just saying let's not play to the lowest common denominator here.

Thanks to Kyle Orton. Cassel was shit in the preseason and pretty much continued that until he was injured and out for the season.
