Sacks!!!

I read somwhere that in 2008 Matt Cassell was sacked behind the Patriots offensive line 48 times. The following year with the same offensive line, Brady was sacked ONLY 16 times.

WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT TELL YOU?

It tells me two things.

1. Cassel is not as good as first ballot hall of famer Tom Brady, nor did he get rid of the ball fast enough.

2. When Tom Brady came back from injury, he wasn't throwing the deep route, and he was getting the ball out quicker. His line probably also played their balls off to make sure he got hit as little as possible.

That as a first time starter in The NFL Cassel struggled to get comfortable in the pocket, and wound up holding the ball too long, too often.

Was there supposed to be something more?

My thoughts as well.
