Jets take Cassell in offseason?

Uhm, no.

Cassel is going to be seeking sick money and people are willing to pay that after 10 games, going 6-4 with the best receiving corp in the NFL?

Do people overlook the fact he's only thrown 10 TDs but with 7 INTs? That's on pace for a 16 TD 11 INT season. Is that someone the Jets want to have?

I didn't even think he was very good last night. Excepting that last throw to Moss, that was a total Chad game.

I mean, he puts up 60% throwing everything under 15 yards against a team that's notoriously bad at covering underneath, and that's supposed to be good?

Yup Yup...

You must of missed another thread but I said Kellen Clemens could have had that game starting for NE last night :biggrin:

Exactly.

Plus, how can people overlook the receiving group he has?

Welker, sure. But Moss's best ability is his deep threat, which Cassel can't seem to connect on. Otherwise he has Gaffney, Aiken, Watson... all "solid" contributors, but hardly world beaters. I think it is fair to say that for a guy with his limited experience, Cassel is playing well.

His throws have zip, accuracy, and he generally has good decision making. The mobility is just a bonus. I think the most telling thing about the last TD pass was that he made the throw on the run, but it was still a perfect throw, perfect spiral, exactly where it had to be. He has a very good short-medium game, but not much else right now. But, considering his upside, that is enough for an otherwise good team to win games.

He'll get a solid starter's contract somewhere, and some fanbase will be generally happy with him I think.

I dont know, the trio in Arizona might have something to say about that. But I agree that he will be seeking a BIG contract and the Jets should stay away.

Cassel is going to be another in a long line of backup QBs that get ridiculous money from some team desperate for a QB(Minnesota, San Francisco). Id stay away. Unless we win the SB and lose the 1st rounder Id seriously consider drafting a 1st rounder and praying Favre stays one more year.
