New England Patriots at Seattle Seahawks, Dec 7, 2008 1:05 PM PST


-4.6%

Drafting a quarterback is scary. The chance for bust; the chance of being burdened with a must-start failure; the chance of crippling Seattle with a huge contract and no chance of contention for seasons to come - It's intimidating. It's downright terrifying. But it must be done. Seven of the top ten quarterbacks in DYAR were drafted in the first round. Fourteen of the thirty two starting quarterbacks, from phenoms like Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco to competent retreads like Kerry Collins and Chad Pennington, were selected in the first round.

Still, the temptation to cheat, to find a lower risk talent through free agency ,or stashed on some stacked team's roster, remains strong. Thus, Matt Cassel.

In 2007, Tom Brady averaged a 56.9% DVOA. DVOA measures team performance more accurately than individual performance. Better said, the 2007 New England Patriots passing offense averaged 56.9% DVOA with Brady under center. That's system, Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Ben Watson, etc. and Tom Brady.

In 2008, in the same system, with Randy Moss, Wes Welker, Ben Watson, etc. Matt Cassel has averaged a -4.6% DVOA. That's a 60% swing. That's the difference between Matt Ryan and JaMarcus Russell, except cleaner and more damning. Ryan joined an offense loaded with talent awaiting competent coaching and quarterbacking. Russell toils on the most tumultuous and worst run franchise in the NFL.

Brady himself likely wouldn't have continued his torrid run. Peyton Manning posted a 62.8% DVOA in 2004, but a measly 41.7% DVOA in 2005. Quarterback DVOA spikes and sinks - just not like that. That's not natural regression. That's a whole other animal.

Cassel turns 27 May 17. He didn't start at USC buried behind Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart. Cassel was in real danger of being cut before the 2008 season. He inflates sacks. He's shaky in the pocket. His production is hugely dependent on his surrounding talent's yards after catch. Welker's yards after catch is up over a yard from last season. Moss's yards after catch is up nearly two.

We've been here before. Derek Anderson was the vogue free agent to be after a remarkable spike in play. A season later he was benched. Cassel joined an offense that humbles him with its talent. That he's its face does not mean he's its cause or even instrumental to its success. Cassel might be a serviceable quarterback. He might be a total bust. He has almost no chance of being a great quarterback. And no team should build its future around him.

Seattle needs a quarterback of the future. And that quarterback should be, better be, a riveting, terrifying, make or break first round pick*.

Star-divide

* Or Brian Brohm.

Holy crap

what a reversal for Philadelphia.

Well Put

The recent talk about signing Matt Cassel next year makes me CRINGE. His game is entirely based on his supporting cast- Check Moss, Check Welker, if both covered throw ball in general direction of Moss. Touchdown.

And damnit the giants really piss me off…

Oof, further evidence you don't trade your draft for one player

Jared Allen carted off with a knee injury. Looks like a torn ligament.

Inactives

K Brandon Coutu

QB Matt Hasselbeck

Does Coutu even show up for the games?

It should be interesting

Lock can tell us a bit about whether we need a LT of the future of if we have one. I always figured Locklear would be at his worse facing a 3-4 end.

Thoughts..

Chilling through a fantasy bye week… i didn’t draft any hawks this year and that is among the reasons why I had an amazing fantasy season. Brian Brohm for a 3rd rounder sounds good to me. Maybe Holmgren is still well connected enough with GB to help us work that before he leaves. I catch a lot of Matt Ryan because I live in Atlanta- that kid is the truth.

I hope Bradford comes out. He can thow.

Weaver is a beast..

I think he might be good enough to be a full time RB… Put him on the Eagles and he puts up 75% of Westbrook numbers?

by LantermanC on Dec 7, 2008 3:16 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Yes, another awesome play.

I remember he had a great game against the Rams as well. He’s shown some nice flashes, just hasn’t stayed healthy.

His size still scares me when they try to throw longer passes to him.

by Happybelly on Dec 7, 2008 3:23 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

My favorite

Was when he stripped the ball after a pick in that same game

This is my favorite quote so far

“oh hi I’m the ref at the game. I don’t like the Pats so I’m going to give the Hawks as many calls as I can”

by Ovreel on Dec 7, 2008 3:21 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Damn, nice catch

And Cassel is standing up under pressure. Go figure.

by John Morgan on Dec 7, 2008 3:22 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

He's definitely a product of his recievers

I feel dirty for even entertaining the idea of dumping Hasselbeck for him

branch is awesome

and he is back (knock on wood)
and lol BRuss again….

by paul2 on Dec 7, 2008 3:22 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Do you think John Marshall watches film?

Because to make the same call consistently, and consistently get burned by it seems stupid. Both passes, 3rd and long, safety blitz and big reception.

but Moss only has to make one play and we lose.

I don't know

Carlson was pretty slow in the 40

by John Morgan on Dec 7, 2008 3:36 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

for a guy who's slow in the 40

carlson sure runs the corner pattern well…

by djafrot on Dec 7, 2008 3:37 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

He's white too

So he can’t be athletic. Also, Andre Woodson is an excellent scrambler.

by John Morgan on Dec 7, 2008 3:38 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I'm not certain I'd call a draw

when the center is made out of cotton candy.

by John Morgan on Dec 7, 2008 3:37 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

Yes, but it wouldn't have been a first down.

Only reason he didn’t challenge I think.

by Happybelly on Dec 7, 2008 3:41 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

He stepped out of bounds before the catch

So if Holmgren would’ve challenge and was successful I think it would of been a penalty

You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

by Scruffy Lefty on Dec 7, 2008 3:42 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

that was a catch

how the ref that was further away could OVERRULE the closer ref makes no sense.

by djafrot on Dec 7, 2008 3:41 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

So

Seattle is ahead and it’s late. That means there’s a good chance of a turnover.

by John Morgan on Dec 7, 2008 3:41 PM PST reply actions   0 recs

The ONLY way the college game is better is in replay

the onus is on getting the play right rather than protecting against coaches strategizing. There, Holmy can’t challenge because he cannot risk losing that time out.

not sure what you could do except have a better offensive line. that isn’t coaching.

Not specifically referring to the last play.

More referring to the achingly predictable last Patriots TD drive with multiple idiotic blitzes.

But yes, seeing two to three plays a game where our QB can’t get two steps into his drop before he has to fall down and take a sack is a painfully obvious reminder that our offensive play calling isn’t “unpredictable”.
