Grits and Shins Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I think he has a funny name ... I keep looking for the 't' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaP'N GRuNGe Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I think he needs to throw the freaking ball to Randy Moss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelman Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 THROW THE F U C I N G BALL TO MOSS. Go watch some ARI vs. MIAMI tapes... I'm giving him one more week... an EASY week vs. Miami... Or else I'm going hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Sherman Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I think regardless of what the Pats say publicly, Cassel is like any other inexperienced QB that has sat on the bench behind the starter for a couple of years. He may know the entire playbook, but I don't think they (Belichick esp.) trust him with everything yet. So that means you will see more running and short quick passes from the Pat's O, with the ball spread around a lot. From a fantasy perspective you probably need to view the Pats like they were prior to the Moss/Welker era, not very decent fantasy picks. As the season progresses, and IF he shows he can deliver, they may open it up. Until then look for a lot of FG's and boring offense. Just my SWAG....

WaterMan Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Dropped him for Warner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinatown dragons Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Dropped him for Warner. man, what was Warner doing available on the Waiver? Named the starter of the Cards at the beginning of the year, with Fitzgerald and Boldin as receivers, and he was available to pick up?? Kudos to you...

loaf Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Cassel = game manager which doesn't translate into good fantasy numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronco Billy Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Well, he outplayed Favre. Since we all know that Favre is light years better than Rodgers, I'd say that Brady better start worrying about his job... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Pat!!! Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 think he looked a lot like Brady, circa 2001 managed the game, made a few real nice plays, didn't throw any picks, got a W for the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTed46 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Cassel = game manager which doesn't translate into good fantasy numbers. I agree 100% Very bad for Moss owners not so bad for Welker owners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be wrong, but I think I can pretty much guarantee that if Brady crica 2001 had a weapon like Moss, he would have found a way to put the ball in his hands and let Moss make plays for him. Maybe not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Pat!!! Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 (edited) I may be wrong, but I think I can pretty much guarantee that if Brady crica 2001 had a weapon like Moss, he would have found a way to put the ball in his hands and let Moss make plays for him. Maybe not... I don't think in Brady's first start in '01 it would have mattered what weapons they had. BB was not going to put him in high risk situations. Oh, and Cassel hit Moss with a long pass either late in the third, or early fourth, and it bounced off his chest cause he didn't go up and get it with his hands. Underthrown ball, but he was so wide open, would have been big gainer. Dropped. Edited September 15, 2008 by Bring Back Pat!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caveman_Nick Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I hear this all the time about Cassel. I wonder where people get the idea that they have any idea what Cassel is capable of in real game situations. Look back at the times when Cassel has played. It's been either in preseason games running a completely blase offense OR at the tail and of a blowout. Either way he's typically been throwing to players that are not NFL starter caliber and not had top TE and RB skill players with him on the field. This isn't a prediction that he will set the world on fire, but more of a cautious optimism that he can play well when he has the full complement of players at his disposal and is running the full Patriots offense. JMO, but this coaching staff would not have kept the guy around for this long if he didn;t know what he was doing. I think that's compounded by the situation, which the organization clearly knew about long before any of us did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterMan Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I bet if that ball was thrown in Moss's stride it would have been caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Pat!!! Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I bet if that ball was thrown in Moss's stride it would have been caught. Right because he's never dropped a pass in his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterMan Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Wobbly weak passes are harder to catch than tight spirals that hit you in your hands. Hopefully since Cassel isn't a back up anymore, he will hit the weight bench to be able to throw further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
