Thank you, this is what pisses me off about the naysayers, especially the ones that say Cassel 2.0. Of that 5 minutes of footage, Cassel made maybe 3 of those plays in his whole career. There are game managers, and THEN there are smart, mobile accurate game managers. Aikman was never Favre, Young, Manning or Rodgers, but he has a shit-ton of gilt on his fingers because he knew what the situation needed at all times. That's different from the 2010 Cassel game manager, where it's 'hey, our competition Suh-hu-huh-UCKS all season long, so hand the ball off as often as possible and throw away any passing down that mystifies you in the least, we'll get them later.' And it's WAY THE **** different from Cassel game manager against real compeition, where his uniform was fitted with a PEX line from anus to ankle for the most efficient way to shit down one's leg. I'd love for someone to compile a video of the most boneheaded mistakes AS has committed on field. Not things he failed to produce, but things he did to the detriment of the team. We've seen Cassel's, some boggle the mind, some are eligible for AFI designation of greatest comedies in history. Be smart Be mobile Be accurate Be an asset That's what I expect of AS right now When we finally rise to a playoff level team, I will also expect Be clutch. I have full faith as I stand here right now AS will deliver. I am metaphysically certain we are light years ahead of the Cassel era.

Interestingly, my family and I noted back when mullets/long hair was the rage in the 80s, that I was physically incapable of long hair in the back. The hair on top of my head grows like a weed to this day. I can be Marines ready after a haircut and 4 weeks later I have a Conan O'Brien pompadour up top. But in back it grows at a glacial pace and most just bunches up. I've never in my life had my hair touch my collar and I made several converted efforts in my youth.
EDIT TO ADD: I'm not counting those shitty neck wisps that come up when I don't keep them in check. Back hair? nope. Ear hair? nope. Neck hair? you bet your sweet bippy.

No, all my sportswear is team specific but otherwise general. The only game authentic jersey I have is Manchester United. The bulk is T-shirts [KU, Chiefs]. I do have a few nice KU, Royals, Chiefs and ManU pieces, mostly in the form of wooly pullovers for bad weather. And of course there's the hats.

I'm not going to belabor things. It's a waste of time. que sera, sera
Just wanted, one time, to post my stance for posterity. Because there are getting to be too many of a vocal minority who are stating things about the future that have pushed way past pessimist into DICKHEAD TROLL, and I don't whatever day of reckoning comes in the future to have anyone saying [oh, you say that NOW. . . ] No, I'm saying it NOW.

At least the highlight reel had HIGHLIGHTS. And not padded, or slo-mo, or repeated from a different angle, highlights. Snap boom, snap boom. Nice run, nice throw, nice scramble. Like I said, Cassel did maybe three of those plays in his whole career, and has a shit ton more ****ups. You want to show clips of AS hurting his team, I'll be glad to look. But like I said, I'm talking about active detriment, not some vague sense of lack of production, or leaning on the running game and D. Also, be sure to annotate the time and place of occurrence, and don't try to pass off some shitty play from years ago as if it happened yesterday. Feel free to include any shitty play you wish from any point in his career, so long as time and place is noted.

The gunslinger can be fun, an Aaron Rodgers can be REALLY fun, but its not the only way to skin a cat [feel free to make your case for Aikman the gunslinger], especially if the rest of the team is sound. And the Cassel comparisons are directed at the Cassel 2.0 crowd. It's not my gold, silver, bronze or pot metal standard.

But that doesn't make him the answer either. You see, that's the reason why so many wanted Geno. Sitting a young talented QB behind a game manager like Alex, makes sense. I suppose that's why people are excited about Bray. He has a chance to develop. But in all of this Me VS You or, Patt's favorite, Alex vs Geno, the objective is lost. And that objective is to find and develop a true Franchise QB so we can move away from these game manager brand QB's. ...you know....kinda like what SF did when they replaced Alex Smith. |
