Who would you rather have, Matt Cassell or Matt Stafford?

[C-Gold]

The Texans traded a mid 1st round draft pick ( and maybe another pick) for a young Matt Schaub. Schaub wasn't even a starter, but showed good promise in limited action in Atlanta.

The Texans basically said that rather than drafting a new guy, having him sit on the bench a few years and learn the speed of the NFL... even though Schaub hasn't played much, we think he will fare better than say a guy we draft and sit...



Matt Cassell was a late round draft pick and career backup in college and the pros. All we really know is that he isn't as good as Tom Brady and he isn't as good as Carson Palmer... but not many people are.


So my Question.
Matt Stafford or Matt Cassell?


Cassell has sat a few years, and performed well in New England ( as QB friendly as it is). He is a guy that can step in and play right now. I'd actually view him as the less risky of the two, because at worst you have yourself a high end backup ( and maybe you have more).

Matt Stafford could be a really good player or he could be Jemarcus Russell with a big arm and no brain. Drafting a QB is a 50/50 crap shoot so who would you rather have?

I'd rather have the proven player in Cassel.

Well.........Proven in a way

Experience wins ball games at the QB position. Cassell without a doubt in the question. I picked Cassell up in my keeper league immediately when Brady went down. Being a die hard chiefs fan, I am feeling a turn around season.

Cassell should at worst be competant and that is all you can ask of your QB. If you have at least a decent guy, then you don't have to keep drafting QB's and can build the rest of your team.


I too would rather have Cassell than Stafford, but what does that say about their value? Is Matt Cassell worth the #1 pick or better than the #1 pick or is Matt Stafford highly overrated etc.

If you say you would rather have Matt Cassell, then is he worth the #1 pick?

That's all New England needs, another real high draft pick.

cassel hands down

 

[C-Gold]

cassel hands down

So do you think Cassell is worth the #1 pick in the draft?

 

[thekeyman]

the point is that cassel is not in the draft but if you want to know if id take him over the other two in the draft,..yes no problem,the real qbs stayed in school like sanchez should have
