As for Tom Brady being good enough to not need a backup, that's silly. The Pats traded Cassel after Brady missed an entire season. Any starter can get injured.
Dalton may not be Brady (who is?), but he's still a top 8 QB.
Matt Cassel s not a good QB and you would know that if you regarded watching football as important as reading stats!
Obviously, the coaching staff knew what they were doing by desregarding stats and getting rid of Cassel. He's a bum!
