Matt Cassel also comes with the, "Playing Not To Lose," tag permanently attached to his jersey.
Great quarterbacks make great plays to win championships. The game manager types seldom rise up to the occasion.
Matt Cassel might be good enough to take the Bills to 9-7, again. He's not good enough to lead this team to a Super Bowl victory.
So why bother? Why repeat last year with Orton 2.0? Just for the sake of making the playoffs?
F*&+ the playoffs, this team should be aiming for the Super Bowl, not the damned playoffs.
The Bills had to do everything under the sun to protect EJ Manuel in 2014. They didn't let Manuel try to win the game, they wanted him to manage it with simple plays that he simply could not execute. If he couldn't make the simple plays, what gives anyone good reason to think he can make the hard plays? EJ's a great guy, but he's not the answer.
The Bills have been playing not to lose for how long now?
Play to win. If the plan fails nobody can say the Bills didn't try and they pick early in the 1st round of the 2016 NFL Draft to select their future franchise QB.
