You discount experience of being in the League. Learning a system. Practice. Serving as an understudy to arguably the best QB in the last 10 years. Is this not valuable? Would that not make him more prepared for the NFL than a rookie coming from Delaware???????

You made a ridiclous statement that Flacco and Ryan somehow had more sucessful season because their teams made the playoffs.
Playing anywhere is better experience than practice. This guy never played an important snap in college or the pros before this year. Think about that. Never played an important snap ever in his career. Serving as an understudy is nice but why didnt Dan Marino or Dan Fouts or so many other great QB's understudies come in an play as well as Cassel. The problem is that you want to discredit the guys performance because he played with other good players instead of giving the guy credit for what he DID do despite all the obstacles he had. I am not an NFL scout or coach so I will judge him on what he has done which was play at a high level for a player totally lacking in game experience and improving throughout the season. There was a reason the coach stuck with him instead of bringing in retreads.
