I hate to say it, but you have been smoking crack if you think cassel is near the QB rivers is.
he is the third best QB in the league. Numbers asides, hes a great QB.
yes hes a smug jerk. yes hes a great QB.
get over it!
Whats funny is if Cassel had 9 interceptions and 3 fumbles, you guys would be asking for his head on a stick. LOL

You didn't hate to say that. You added a needless insult in saying it. Even ended it with "Get over it!" You enjoyed saying it.
Now, I don't dislike Rivers. I don't have any problem saying that he is a great QB, either.
But, given the same number of attempts, Cassel isn't far behind him.
Rivers:
3,177 Yards, 23 TDs, 9 INTs.
Cassel (* At current numbers, adjusted to meet the number of attempts that Rivers has) :
2,515 Yards, 22 TDs, 5 INTs.
That's a pretty close call, on which of those guys I would prefer. And don't think that these numbers ... 6-4 vs. 5-5 ... don't matter either.
However, sustaining that type of production for that number of attempts, as well as looking at what has been going on with the receivers on The Chargers, I would take Rivers, unless I am going with the offense that Cassel is already getting comfortable with.
I am not missing how good Rivers' stats are. You are missing how good Cassel's are.
*- The adjusted numbers are taking his existing yardage (etc.), dividing those by his number of attempts, then multiplying that by Rivers' number of attempts.
I don't hate Rivers. I don't even dislike him. Never cared about his personality either.
I agree that he has been amazing this season.
But, as I've shown, Cassel is playing at a level just barely behind Rivers, just with fewer attempts.
I misspoke before, about beginning a new offense. Started that sentence about Rivers, but wound up turning it into Cassel's statement.
I would take Rivers in any situation, except the situation that Cassel is already beginning to excel in.
More attempts equals more chances for turning it over as well.....just sayin. I think most know where I stand with Cassel (like him) but I do have to say that IMO, if Cassel had the same amount of attempts he would have more INT's than Rivers. It's all purely speculation of course but again IMO, Rivers is a better overall athlete than Cassel from what I have seen over the last several years from both thereby putting Rivers ahead of Cassel in all aspects of the position. Not even close really regardless of WHY His numbers are better than Cassel's. Having said all of this, I'm very happy with Cassel and the way the offense is structured right now is working just fine for the most part. I think it is absolutely imparative that we have such a great running game for him to play as well as he has been. Hate to say but I don't know how well he would perform if he were needed to run an offense such as the Chargers.
The only reason a beer sweats around Canada is because he's decided it will be the next beer he drinks.
this is fantastic
