He played dick before those 4 years. I don't think Cassel can just step in and play, although he did in NE. I think Orton has that edge in spades.

At what point do we take off his training wheels?

Well that is what I am hoping we see this year. I think the training wheels were on because we had an egomaniac at HC that let his success in AZ go to his head. Not just Cassel but the offense as a whole never looked good under an Offensive oriented coach. He fired an OC 2 weeks before a season started to call the game himself which the players admitted took them half the season to catch onto his system. The next year he ran off the OC that got him to the playoffs. The next year he hired a token OC so he could call the games again.

While Haley was cussing Bowe for not being in position the 3 offensive coordinators couldn't get a play into Cassel in time for shit. Haley was unorganized, stupid, scared and overly-proud and it showed. Our offense looked the same every year under Haley yet we had different OC's every year. This year is going to prove whether it was Cassel or if it was Haley.
