I ain't mad at Cassel, there's been a few free agent QB busts, from Neil O'Donnell and Jeff Garcia to Matt Flynn and Brock Osweiler...but the thing about Cassel's stint is that it's always tied to a HC that didn't want him, Black Sundays/Save Our Chiefs, and a GM more concerned about looking for gum wrappers in between cutting/resigning mediocre safeties/TEs and watching a player commit suicide after murdering his baby momma.

Scott Pioli - inherits a 2-12 team with a #3 overall draft pick...leaves a 2-12 dumpster fire w/a #1 overall pick.

That's what I remember about Matt Cassel.

Well, that and Haley in his ass. And the hat. Oh my, the hat...

I bailed out early.

I watched as friends of mine got scholarships and slowly peeled off the program at different points.

By "the program" I mean NCAA wrestling.

Whatever you think is going on in basketball or football it's 10x that in wrestling...

I know, the NCAA is absolutely unwatchable at any level, it's so obvious - but how else is a poor kid from Anywhere, USA going to get his college paid for? You suit up and play the game.

Literally and figuratively.
