Matt Cassell: Joke or No Joke

SouperMeister · 01-01-2009, 09:10 PM

Matt Cassel had several factors working in his favor:

1. New England has an excellent O-line and Pro Bowl caliber WRs.
2. He essentially had 3 years to learn the offense as Brady's understudy.
3. New England played perhaps the weakest schedule ever for a defending conference champion (they had the AFC West and NFC West in addition to their own division

Somebody will probably give him decent money to start, but I don't ever see him developing into an upper echelon starting QB.

That's a great point that hasn't been mentioned yet in this thread. The west coast divisions were garbage this year.

Cassel needs to go wherever McDaniels ends up or he'll be average or below.

Bill Belicheat will brain wash Cassel to stay, just like he brain washed Randy Moss to give up big $$ in free agency, and the same way he brain washed Brady to take a hometown discount.

Isn't Brady from Northern California?

I heard the term "hometown discount" from Michael Wilbon when referring to the fact that Brady takes in less money in order for his team to be able to go out other players (i.e. Randy Moss, Welker, Adalius Thomas, etc., etc.). I guess it is referred as a "hometown discount" b/c Brady is a veteran of the team? I dunno, the term just stuck with me.

Dude, is a freaking joke? What are you a Pats fan? Sheesh.

I guess Belicheat was not able to brain wash him that much...

We wont get Cassell.
im not gonna make up excuses for JC hes had his good and bad moments. This year will make or break him. I think Colts good enough to be a backup policy as long as we keep our run game on a high level thru the season.

cassell is a beast

Looks like if you want Matt Cassell you are going to need to give the Patriots 2 1st rounders. Like they need more draft picks. You've got to admire the Pats.

redsk1 · 02-06-2009, 09:21 AM

I think some team might take the bait. 2 first rounders for a quality QB? Some team will.

^^ it will be interesting to see what happens. the pats put up a big raise, lets see if someone calls em on it.

the pats were in a kind of odd predictament to have to franchise tag their back-up qb (see what good drafting does). it gives them insurance on brady and guarantees a heavy return if another team wants him, plus they got cap room if noone tries to grab Cassel.

Prediction: Cassel to Carolina for two 2nd rounders in a trade.
