That's also a possibility.
Per Cassel's age, that was the only thing being discussed not that he compared to Moon, Cunningham, Favre or McNabb, oh wait.
LOL!
All the same, I think we have had 3 seasons starting from square 1 where the QB was concerned.
I'm somewhat positive that now we have a coaching staff that will separate the wheat from the chaff, that will have a good idea of what to do.
Cassel also has had some good years, with KC and NE.
Yes, but they're getting pretty far back in the rear view mirror now.
The whole team often plays better when the QB is playing well, I'd look at that too in some of our so-so early defeats of the year. The defense may have had to spend more time on the field.
Eh... whether they did or didn't, it isn't an excuse for blowing leads in the final minute of play. The point is, if you look at each game as a whole, and look at all of the reasons for the team winning or losing those games, attributing wins or losses to one particular player just doesn't hold up under scrutiny. They lost games they could have won and won games they could have lost and the nature of most of those wins and losses was such that they could have gone either way without any difference at all in the level of QB play the Vikings received from Cassel or Ponder. If the team improves enough in other areas, they could conceivably win 9 or 10 games with either of those QBs as the starter, perhaps even with a rookie as the starter.
