He did well for the Pats and garnered a 2nd round pick. There's no question that he was a good backup for the Pats and he accomplished more in 2008 than McCarron has.
In 2008, you're absolutely right! Cassel, based on numbers alone, was considered good! But his coaches, who see a lot more of him than anyone, knew better.
Looking at him play, I never thought he was a good QB. He happened to find himself in the right fit with New England.
I think a lot of good QBs never get the right fit, and are written off as bums.
