Re: Matt Cassell: Joke or No Joke
 

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

Re: Matt Cassell: Joke or No Joke
 

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.

Re: Matt Cassell: Joke or No Joke
 

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

Re: Matt Cassell: Joke or No Joke
 

^^ 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.

Wouldn't that be a steep price for a backup QB that had one good season, and in this good season he has had a good offensive line, one of the best coaches in the league, an elite WR and a great slot receiver.

Sure, he had a couple great seasons in Detroit - actually took them to the playoffs twice I believe. Why do you bring him up?

I think he had just one good season, if I remember correctly, after signing a massive contract as a free agent out of Miami. He had taken over for an injured Marino and had a big year but never really lived up to the hype anointed him after that.

Probably not the best analogy, just saying I wonder how good Cassel will really be.

Roger that. I was pretty sure that's what you were getting at. I acutally just looked him up on wiki... Set the Lions single season franchise record for TD passes and passing yards in 1995, then lost his starting job in 1998 at age 30 to rookie QB Charlie Batch.
