Great point.

If he would just change his username to "The Contrarian," it would leave a lot less people befuddled.

Do you think that the redskins would have made the playoffs last year if jc didnt get hurt?I dont.I defended cambell since he became the starter but we have no chance to win a superbowl with him.A great quarterback makes the rest of the team better.Last year we was struggling on offense until his injury and collins sparked this team and took the 8th man off the line of scrimage.

The stats, with the exception of the TD/INT ratio( JC is far superior) have JC at a level just above Gus Frerotte. Sometime around the midpoint of next season or just before JC will finally surpass Gus in all time Skins passing yardage, but will probably have to wait til 2010 to beat him in TD passes, unless we really get our shit together on offense and he can get it going.

Most QB's are only as good as the players around him and DW is a classic example of this. He was never the type that could carry a team like Elway. But he did lead TB to a NFC championship and did play well down there. But with The Posse and the best line in football a lot of QB's could've come here ( during Gibbs one) and played well. Imagine what Marino could've done under Gibbs one? We almost drafted him too. He would've sat behind those lines and Monk, Clark and Sanders might have all gone to the HOF.

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.

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

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.
