On October 17th I wrote a quick piece comparing Matt Cassel and Tom Brady. Well I guess I was a little ahead of the reporting curve. This week, everywhere you look you can find articles comparing the two QBs through their first 7 games. All of these articles came to the same conclusion I did; Hey these stats are pretty close.
I'm confused. Two weeks ago; I was showing everyone how close their stats were. Everyone else was screaming for Matt Cassel to be benched in favor of Kevin O'Connell. Now here we are on Halloween and folks all over southern New England, from the Providence Journal to the Boston Globe; are singing my tune.
I'd like to point out that even though Cassel's numbers to Brady are comparable through this short time, I am not saying Cassel is as good or will every be as good as Brady. I was simply pointing out that people around New England were suffering selective memory. People remember Brady being perferct because we won the Super Bowl that year. He wasn't perfect. He was good, just not great. Also, I wanted to show that Cassel wasn't as bad as everyone thought.
