He has played very well so far in my opinion.
He has been under pressure all year, and has stood in there. Cassle has also proven he can take a hit, and get right back up.
It seems like the 4 or 5 times a game he actually has time to look over the field, he is accurate, and makes the most of it.
Get the o-line shored up in the draft and free agency this offseason, and I think we are set at qb for several years.
His biggest flaw is holding on too long.
He'll be fine. He didn't play college ball, and played one year of pro. The guy just needs some experience and games like this are where you get it. He's who we have, and he'll be fine if he can stay healty. There are a lot of holes to fill on this team, and he'll play better as we fill them. I like the kid.
Apparently not enough to spell his name correctlyQuote:

Since grammar and spelling are important issues to you, I thought you should take note.

I know, but it's not cool correcting spelling on a forum.Quote:

I like Cassel, I just wish they'd roll him to the outside more often so that he has the option to throw it away if no one is open down field.
You're that guy aren't you? You know, the one who the coach never put in because you sucked, but you could pick out everyone's flaws who was playing in front of you in your position because you thought you should be playing. Still not over those years bud?Quote:

A couple of those sacks came off PA though and as soon as he turned around from the fake, he was down. The line is bad.
Look at my other post I am not even close to that guy, for the most part I look at the positives, but it seems like no one is calling him out.Quote:

Who cares if he played golf? I mean most people on this site seem to know how to run this team but I don't think we have and members who are NFL players. Just because he didnt play does not mean he does not understand the game.Quote:

Doesn't matter really. Too much money invested to turn back for several years.Quote:

Oh, and no full-time OC. Hmmmm, wonder why a guy with so little experience might be hanging on to the ball so long and making some mistakes.Quote:

No because he did it with Randy Moss and Wes Welker on his team also.Quote:
