um, 'body 88' , your little hero, the '8TH BEST QUARTERBACK IN THE LEAGUE' matt cassel, according to you is a better quarterback than brett favre, joe flacco, and matt ryan.
how do you explain that the aforementioned gentlemen are all taking their teams to the playoffs- teams that don't have nearly the talent at the skilled positions as NE- yet a team led by your next candidate for the hall of fame, matt cassel, so stacked at the skill positions (gaffney, moss, welker) isn't going to even get a wild card- and it's in the weakest of the two conferences- imagine if NE was in the NFC east? they'd win a whole 3-4 games on the back of that MONSTER matt cassel.
right- i forgot- it's all the o- line's fault.
First off, I said ACCORDING TO THE STATS Matt Cassel is the 8th best qb in the NFL. Haha, your meatball. BFury, your answer is in this post....just answer it. Troll, you can't do it : )
You're going to use stats when Cassel has a poor day, but ignore his awesome stats vs Indy, the Bills, the phins and the Jets? If you are using stats, you're making yourself look bad. Also, please answer the post below (unless you don't have the knowledge to do so):
You did call Cassel a bum. Then you asked me if Quinn or Ryan would be better on that pats (as if both those teams are not loaded with offensive weapons). I didn't even respond to the Quinn comment, because the Browns have been one of the most potent offensive teams for years, and they have tons of weapons. I thought I would talk about the Falcons, because they are your team, and you don't event know how good they are. Please answer this post:
Not so fast, you wont be able to refute this:
Who is the eighth best QB in the NFL according to the stats....my argument from the start, lol. Who is it? All your sidebars and dodges don't change what I said. I said: Matt Cassel was the eighth best qb in the NFL according to the stats. I said that Cassel was not a bum, and that he was the reason that the pats are winning. I said that you are a bafoon to call Cassel a bad qb. When Cassel played Farve, Cassel had the better numbers. Again, I am going by performance and stats, not bias, past achievements and reputation.
The "would this guy have the numbers on that team", and "the would-have-could-have, bullshit it an excuse". You cannot argue with me using facts and stats, so you make up scenarios that don't deal with reality. The pats have a rash of injuries, and Matt Ryan has plenty of offensive weapons as his disposal. Cassel had a 5th string rb carrying the ball up until this week. Not to mention, the line was allowing a ton of sacks this year. Lets look at your falcons for a comparison. First, the Falcons have more total offense this year than the pats yet Cassel's numbers are better than Ryans (which = Ryans supporting cast picking up the extra slack). Lets look at the running game. Turner is making huge contributions to Ryan having so much success. Not only is he the third best rusher in the NFL, he scored all four of Atlanta's td's last week. Atlanta is the second best rushing team in the NFL, which proves the offensive line is doing a great job. NE is ranked 7th in the NFL for rushing which is ob worse than Atlanta blowing the first part of your "supporting cast" garbage out of the water. The previous stat proves that Ryan has more help from his running game than Cassel, because the rushing attempts are roughly the same for both teams, yet Matt Cassel has the better numbers. Everyone know the running game opens up the passing game, and surprise-surprise Ryan is best on second down ( the passing down) after the run. Typically the pats will throw out of the gun on first down, because the running game has been spotty this year. Teams stack the box and don't bite on play actions like they do with Atlanta. This bad supporting cast bullshit you are tossing around for Ryan is laughable you imbasile. The Falcons have the better offensive line and running game.
Now lets look at sacks. The patriots have allowed 35 sacks this year, while the Falcons have allowed 13. Your entire argument is being blown out of the water right now. Atlanta has the BETTER offensive line by 50%, yet Cassel has BETTER numbers than Matt Ryan. That is the end of your argument, but lets go on for fun.....
Total offense favors the Falcons (yet Cassel has better numbers) Total rushing yards favors the Falcons (yet Cassel has better numbers) Total sacks allowed favors the Falcons by 50% ( yet Cassel has better numbers). So no, according to the FACTS, Ryan would not be as good in New England. it's laughable considering the pats would have caused Ryan to be sacked 13 more times, and Cassel still has better numbers!
Now, use the stats I provided to show me a legit argument as to why Cassel is not the eighth best qb in the NFL this year. 11 games in the AFC east is a acceptable sample size. Schools out your fraud.
Also, Matt Cassel was named offensive plater of the week for the second time this week. You're right, no one talks about him
* In a 48-28 AFC East road victory over Miami, Cassel completed 30 of 43 passes (69.8 percent) for 415 yards and tied a career-high with three touchdowns versus one interception with a 114.0 passer rating. Cassel led the Patriots’ offense to 530 total net yards (the second-highest total in team history) and also added an eight-yard rushing touchdown in the second quarter. His 415 passing yards marked the fifth time in NFL history that a quarterback totaled 400 or more passing yards in consecutive games (400 yards against Jets on 11/13/08). The first-year starter is the first player to register 400 passing yards in back-to-back games since Billy Volek accomplished the feat in 2004 with the Titans (426 yards on 12/13/04 and 492 yards on 12/19/04).
