That 4th and 1 playcall was an absolute joke, and the fact that you even mention it as some sort of failure by Charles just shows how disingenuous you are.

Silly question, even with the hiring of Zorn, does the lock out cause Cassell to regress since he has no one helping him with his issues he has?

Probably not, but he certainly needed this time to work with Zorn to hope for any continued progression going into next season. I just think it's a ****ing travesty that we even have to discuss this with a QB that's nearly 30 ****ing years old.

It's also a bit disingenuous not to realize that there were legitimate factors affecting Cassell, such as not having a WR worth a damn to pass to outside of Bowe.

I have discussed Cassel's improvement, and what he needs to continue to progress, which includes better weapons. But what he needs more than anything is continued work on mechanics and reads.

The O-line has to be upgraded big time. IMO before the WR's, because without the threat of being able to run the ball in short yardage situations, we will not be able to pass either, no matter who the WR's are. |

If they addressed either with the 1st pick, I wouldn't complain.

we're stuck have to hope and pretend Cassel is one of those guys...meanwhile, all we can do is try to surround him a couple dozen probowlers and see if that works....the truth is, up to this point, Cassel gives us no margin for error He can't have a bad OL like Rothleisraper or Manning He can't have a bad running game like Brady or Manning He can't have a mediocre defense like Manning or Brees he's got to have it all for us to have a serious chance...it just makes it harder

I tend to agree, but by the same token the O-line has to be able to give the RB a crease at some point no matter how many guys are up front on defense. In goal line/short yardage situations, guys like Marcus Allen were able to convert nearly every time with just a tiny gap to slip through. Charles is a good enough back to do the same, but there was just no room at all to slither through.

I am not trying to make an excuse for him. But I am wondering if that is going through the Head Coach and GM's mind when they are looking at the draft.
If Zorn was brought in to assist Cassel and had the time to keep him up to par or manageable then as a GM I might look later in the draft for a back up if they aren't bringing Croyle or Palko back. But if Cassel has no direction or assistance in the off season and the last few games played showed that he is falling back into old habits of being a shitty QB, then as a GM wouldn't you have to put a backup / future QB higher in the pecking order then 4th or 5th rounder? |
