LOL @ you.
LOL @ you.
And if their abilities are similar, a QB would bring a MUCH HIGHER Draft Pick than a RB.
So the fact Cassel rated such a LOW pick in return, does not speak well of his ability.

LOL.
As I said when we drafted Karlos Williams, it's the only time I can remember a team using its 5th rounder to cover up for bungling its 4th rounder from the same year.
Trololololo!

I'd be shocked if Matt Cassel is handed the starting job. He's not that good and really just another Kevin Kolb. No thanks!

To be fair, Cassel is better than Kolb, but he's nothing special. When QB starved teams like KC and Vikings give up on you in favor of Alex Smith and rookie Bridgewater, you know you've hit your ceiling. Cassel is the slightly younger and better Josh McCown.

Kevin Kolb got injured anyway. It wasn't like he was benched.
Of course Kolb was not benched.
The plan was for Kolb to start EJ's rookie year & have EJ sit & develop behind him.
That plan got scrapped with Kolb's injury.

FYI....he did start as the number one yesterday. That wasn't a coincidence.
And he's with the #2 team today while EJ and Taylor are with the #1s
What does that mean?
Right it means nothing. They have not picked a QB yet. Cassell might win it. But if they had one now, they wouldn't be splitting reps.

And Cassel looked terrible yesterday from reports I read.
But as Dr. Lecter said, it means nothing at this point.
All the quarterbacks looked bad yesterday according to the reports i've read.

Agreed, I read the same, but only Cassel & Tyrod played with the first team offense from what I read.
We suck at QB

Enjoy watching the years that Derek Carr and Teddy Bridgewater have this year. We could have taken them instead of Manuel.

3 – More first team work for QB Cassel
Matt Cassel has seen some measure of work with the starting offensive unit each of the first three days in the quarterback rotation. Sunday would’ve been the day he rotated out with EJ Manuel and Tyrod Taylor getting the bulk of the work with the ones, but that wasn’t the case.
Ryan explained that he and his offensive staff believe Cassel is a veteran that knows what he’s doing, while Taylor and Manuel can be more effectively developed by getting them additional work with the second and third team units.
“We put (Cassel) there,” said Ryan of working with the ones. “That’s what we want to do. With his experience we think it’s more appropriate that he’s always rotating with them. Tyrod will get his equal turns at the one spot and so will EJ, so we’re putting them there, but when we go to running some other units they go down with the threes because they’re younger and are going to be with some of these younger guys. We think that’s the best way to develop these young quarterbacks.”
I guess I was right.

Based on what?
If they knew Cassel was going to start he would be working almost extensively with the first unit and the other two would get little or no time.
I know being right on a message board is important stuff - but you're not right here. Certainly Cassel might end up starting. But they don't know that now

You realize you need a QB to run the second and third teams?
Even if Cassel was announced as the starter it wouldn't change much. They wouldn't kick the other QBs out of camp.
Bottom line is he already being setup as the starter.
It was known on March 4.
The day the Bills and Vikings agreed on the trade for Cassel.
