Yeah I might be making early predictions...but that doesn't mean I'm going to be wrong. If you think the patriots are a superbowl team with Cassel you need to take your head out of your ass.
He never said they were. He said that Cassel was not a bum (which clearly he is not). Again, he had over 400 yards passing, 60 yards rushing, 3td's and no ints last night. Thats after coming of a vey good game vs the Bills. Both the Jets and the Bills are very good teams. Cassel is well on his way to being a very good NFL qb, and each week he is getting better and better. The pats are not a sb team because of their injuries, Matt Cassel is not the one that caused them to lose last night. James Sanders blowing coverage while the jets were in 3rd and 15 was. Cassel is only playing his 10th NFL game.
Look at the improvement in Cassels numbers:
