Have a look at the situations that they have been in.
Cassel was a "career backup" who was forced into a starting role at New England, and did an amazing job. Only to accept the starting job for a team that was ubnfriendly to QBs as any around. To which he has, within less than two seasons, performed at a level that is comparable to any QB in The NFL.
Rivers, on the other hand, was given the keys to a Roll Royce, and has driven it very well.
Cassel has driven a Ferrari and a jalopy, both very well. Even making the jalopy drive like a Cadillac.
If you can't see Cassel as a great QB, to this point, then you aren't just being biased, but foolish.
