Fools Gold? Nah, Not This Time Right?

Waldini:

Matt Cassell is putting up huge numbers in the absence of the league's Golden Boy. Doesn't this remind you of a hmm same situation in Miami back in the 90s. His name was Scott Mitchell, he backed up Dan Marino, Marino tore his ACL achilles, Mitchell took over, put up huge numbers, Mitch became a free agent, and BAM the Lions gave him sic contract. And what did he do when got there? Sucked major MEJOR a$$

Owners be warned.

Gangsta D:

In Scott's defense, he did throw for 4,000 yards one year. But yeah, otherwise he sucked like Vanessa del Rio.

Waldini:

One year...The Ford Family wasted Barry Sanders and Herman Moore's career for one year....and they still got beat in the 1st rd!

Gangsta D:

Scott Mitchell got paid so I can't totally hate on him.

But back to Cassell. I think his performance will reverborate back to CFB. You have a guy that backed up two Heisman QBs, never started a game, and now will be getting paid out of every orifice. College coaches will be using him as an example whenever they encounter a QB that demands playing time. "Hey, look at Cassell. The guy only through maybe 6 passes in college, now he signed a $60 million contract. Shut up and get on the bench!" Or something like that.

Waldini:

LOL. that simple eh. Maybe Jevan Snead shoud've taken that advice before he bounced ;-)

As for Cassell, I mean the guy he's replaced was supposed to be the worst of the two headed Michigan attack. Now's he the one with 3 SB rings and Drew Henson's trying to figure out exactly what went wrong. I shouldn't completely hate on Matt cuz he has been gravy for me in fantasy football.
