Admin Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 That would be the suddenly Pro Bowl level Matt Cassel of the Patriots. Is anyone else shocked that he's playing so well? Check out this play from last night and tell me it's not Montana to Clark-esque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swish Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 He's seriously the only one? Damn. Nice catch and throw, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattlanta Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 Where did he play college ball? He was a backup QB in U.S.C. I beileve he backed up Leinart. His first career start was this year. It was his first start since high school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTruth Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 I can believe it. He has the Patriot O Line to play behind. Plus, he seems to be a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm, yeah I got to see the whole performance. He's actually a pretty damn solid QB and he's going to get a nice payday (similar to Matt Schaub) this offseason by somebody.

Moderators AHF Posted November 24, 2008 Moderators Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Cassell has been improving over the course of the season, no doubt. It doesn't hurt having the Pat's o-line, Randy Moss & Welker, and Belicheck in your corner either, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frosgrim Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I'd still rather have Matt Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexmethylphenidate Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 (edited) Two 400 yards passing game is pretty impressive (and it's back to back). Not even Brady have two 400 yards passing game in his entire NFL career. Edited November 26, 2008 by DeerPark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyMcClure Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 He was a backup QB in U.S.C. I beileve he backed up Leinart. His first career start was this year. It was his first start since high school. And Carson Palmer before that. He just never got a shot there. Personally, It doesn't shock me. I thought they would still win 11 or 12 games without Brady. They are well prepared up there. The qb is just another piece of the machine. The line is amazing. As a qb, you play a totally different game with that line, Welker and Moss. It's almost unfair to compare a NE qb's success with that of another team's qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
