I haven't yet factored in this past week's game in regards to yardage yet, but Cassel actually through last week had a higher completion percentage and has thrown for more touchdowns.<BR/><BR/>While Cassel has thrown more INT's, Brady had more lost fumbles, evening the two out in the turnover dept. Brady also benefited from a more effective running game then Cassel is currently getting.<BR/><BR/>The two have the exact same record, and while you say that Brady was fun to watch, he wasn't early on. At this point in the season fans and press had pretty much written the Pats off because of the young, inexperienced back-up (I do have the 2001 season on DVD and have rewatched, people were resigned to the season being much like 2000's 5 win effort).<BR/><BR/>The problem for Cassel is no one remembers feeling this same way early in 2001 because of how they felt at the end of the season.Kevin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08172648739434861401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9584461.post-44842632828769222212008-10-16T00:24:00.000-04:002008-10-16T00:24:00.000-04:00regarding the Pats...

The rookies they brought in look great. sure it will take a few games to bring the rookies on board (tho mayo has been doing well), but they act totally stymied. the defense has been the biggest disappointment of this season.<BR/><BR/>now regarding cassel. in no way would i compare the 2001 brady to 2008 cassel. nope. all i have is a memory but. brady was fun to watch. stats only indicate... they don't finish the story. cassel locks in. he doesn't move.Chris Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02843546323461336020noreply@blogger.com
