117.2 vs 116.0
Tom Brady's 2007 qb rating (117.2) <--- best season ever by an NFL qb.
Matt Cassell's week #1 QB rating (116) Tom Brady's week #1 QB rating (83.9) Obviously Brady's 578 pass attempts in '07 was slightly more than Cassell's 18 pass attempts in week #1. But he's managed to about keep that otherworldly pace so far. I saw Cassell in the preseason - and I thought he was awful.. but that won't matter because guys will be open - huge mismatches will be there to exploit - and when that isn't the case...just fling a deep ball up to Moss and you are just as likely to get a huge play or defensive pass interference as you are an incompletion. Interceptions are VERY rare because the DB's are fixated on getting the best position they can and not playing the ball. Most refs don't call push offs either if Db's don't make an effort for playing the ball. Basically - the Pats are far from done. Cassell hasn't started since high school and he might need a few weeks to get it together - but that offense will still be one of the three best in the NFL. The biggest difference between Brady and Cassell in a Moss offense is that Brady is trusted and Cassell isn't. With Brady, you'll see 18 straight passes called. With Cassell, it was all about managing the game and running the ball a lot. You won't score as many points - but it's a lot easier on the defense. If Cassell doesn't work at qb - let Moss get under center and run the option.

Picked up Cassell in my fantasy league as soon as Brady went down. Since I picked last this is a huge score for me. Imagine the guy that took Brady (5th) in the draft. Ha Ha Ha Ha.
I think he'll produce some big numbers as long as he plays. Spyder Quote:

After Matt Cassell is finished this year - NFL scouts will start viewing starting qb expierience at the Collegiate level as a bad thing.
Expect scouts to start scouring supermarkets, 7-11's, and car dealerships to find good ole high school qb's who never got a shot in college or at college. I backed up Mike Glass on a 7th Grade Football team that went 6-0 and won by a 15 point or so average margin of victory. I believe he made it as a linebacker at California University of Pennsylvania. If a coach was really clever - they'd take a flyer on me as an undrafted free agent.

Your boy Moss really had a hell of a game today. How many more weeks until he quits on Cassel? Cornrowed p ussy.

LOL, Ruger Relle shut down Moss. No ifs ands or buts. Twist it however you want brotha. I don't really do too many funerals but I gotta go to his.

Cassell missed him for a Touchdown on one play - big deal - the game was in hand. The Jets messed up doubling Moss virtually every play - he missed practice all week and was playing hurt. The underneath stuff was open all game and Cassell took care of the wide open high percentage passes I could have made. The Pats led wire-to-wire and won in hand with nursing the lead throughout. People like you who need to see fantasy football stats to think someone played well - wait until the Patriots fall behind in a game early - than you will see them. When you have a qb making his first lifetime start - and Moss playing hurt - you don't start firing deep balls and forcing into double coverage when guys are open underneath and you are ahead.
