They can't possibly be serious. Brady is one of the best ever and still in his prime. Cassel has a super chance to become Scott Mitchell.

If he's lucky.

Those are hilarious. Talk about panic.

I'm sure Cassel will be okay in the NE system, but they are out of their minds to think that he will be better than a surgically repaired Brady. Even if Brady is behind and isn't ready until mid-season or so, he's still a better option than Cassel.

There are dumbass Jet fans (shocking, I know) that are clamoring for Cassel too. Luckily they get shouted down by other, not totally moronic fans. I'd prefer Ratliff and even Clemens over Cassel.

Just about every Jet fan in my office is clamoring for Cassel.

Would be a TERRIBLE mistake to go after him. He's better than anybody ever expected... but the fact of the matter is Randy Moss and his coach make him look good.

Those are the same dumbass Jet fans who were/are dying for Favre, Cowher, etc. Whatever big name they trick themselves into thinking is the saviour. It pisses me off because these are the morons that Woody feels like he needs to pander to when, in reality, true Jet fans can see through marketing ploys and just want a winner. We'll take a bunch of no-names who win 10+ games ('06) over a bunch of underachieving Pro Bowlers ('08).

If they go get Cassel, I'll be pissed.

Keep this in mind, too... Even though he'll be a free agent the Pats are a very smart organization- they're not going to just let him walk to sign with a division rival if they think he's worth his weight in jockstraps, especially with Brady not progressing as planned. If they do, that speaks volumes.

The problem with the Favre situation is that for the last couple of seasons all you heard was that Chad Pennington didn't have the arm strength for the Jets playing in the Meadowlands. So they gave Clemens a chance, which didn't work out so good either. In both of their defenses the o-line was awful, which also led to Thomas Jones needing a GPS to find the endzone and the qb running for their lives. This season they revamp the line and Thomas Jones has a resurrection, but the passing game play calling is the same crappy screen and 5 yard outs that they were running last season. They are supposed to have this QB with the big arm now, but it seemed like they never threw the ball downfield. Favre averaged 217 yards a game (only about 10 yards more than Chad averaged when he was a Jet) and didn't throw for 300 yards once this season (I know not that big a deal, they were a running team when they were playing well, but I think it speaks volumes about the play calling), including the game he threw 6 td's. If this was going to be the case, they were better off with Chad. I am not trying to compare the two in any way or form, but one thing I assure you is that Chad would have never thrown 22 interceptions.
I thought getting Favre was the right move, but it just seems that they ran the same plays and packages that they had for Chad and Clemens. Instead of changing the playbook around for Favre the just changed Favre's game to adapt to the playbook they had.
