Football What Does Matt Cassel Mean To You? - Page 21

The only things he did for us was create ample laughs at his awfulness, allowed for a banner to get flown over Arrowhead, got us Andy Reid, and got Pioli (and to a point Haley) fired. This led to the renaissance of Chiefs football.

Cassel was terrible at recognizing blitzes. Teams that blitzed him were able to make him look bad. He also was really good at padding stats after his team got down by several scores. The only halfway adequate season he had was the 2010 year.

Our shared misery we suffered through together make this era so sweet to share with you guys.

Cassel didn't have the talent to play in the NFL.

I guess this thread is just as good as any Castle threads to bump for this new story...the headline got my attention.

Former Patriots QB Matt Cassel recalls the one thing he could do better than Tom Brady

Cassel was the GOAT when it came to this one thing

Matt Cassel was Tom Brady's backup quarterback on the New England Patriots and while there is no debate who the superior quarterback is, there is also no debate on who the better wrestler is. And it may not be who you think......

Spoiler!

Imagine what Cassel could do in 2010 with this defense.......................

I would still say i hate Grbac more than Cassell at a very close second. Grbac coming back cost us a chance to keep Gannon.

Matt Cassel was Tom Brady's backup quarterback on the New England Patriots and while there is no debate who the superior quarterback is, there is also no debate on who the better wrestler is. And it may not be who you think......

Spoiler!

The 41-year-old took us back to his playing days and a time where he "served [Brady] up some humble pie," something not many people can claim they have done.

Cassel gave some insight on what went on behind the scenes during his days in Foxborough and shed light on his relationship with Brady. The former seventh-round pick said no matter what it was, he and Brady were always competing.

"We were competitive in everything we did … he was like my big brother … I'd always be nagging him," Cassel said.

One day, Cassel said the nagging and competitive nature turned into the two discussing who would win in a wrestling match.

"Brady said 'Let's go, I'll kick your ass in wrestling,'" Cassel said, but the GOAT would soon eat his words.

The younger QB warned him, saying, "Dude c'mon, you don't want any of this … so then I grab him, I body slam him, get on top of him and right at that moment … I hear two voices [saying], 'Get off of him Cassel! What are you doing?'"

Those two voices were Patriots defensive legends Rodney Harrison and Richard Seymour, who did not enjoy this kind of friendly competition, for fear something would happen to their future Hall of Fame quarterback.

As his two teammates jogged down the field towards him, Cassel admits that he thought they were going to "kick [his] ass."

"They're like 'Dude what are you thinking?' And not in that nice of tone. 'Do you know what would happen, Cassel, if he got hurt right now while you dumbasses are wrestling?'" Cassel recalls.

The QB2 knew the answer and he knew it wouldn't end well for him.

"I was like, 'Yeah, I'm probably not gonna be here tomorrow.' They're like 'yeah that's right, don't touch him again,'" Cassel said.

Even though there was a chance Cassel could've injured TB12 and changed the fate of the Patriots forever, it did give him a one-up on the best in the game. Cassel smiled, saying he got, "a little bit of bragging rights."

Brady went 251-82-0 in regular-season games, 35-13 in playoff games, but 0-1 in wrestling matches against Cassel.

Oh no. As bad as Cassel and the Pioli/Haley/Cassel years were, it allowed for this golden era to happen.

Good point. I stand corrected.

Ok, Carl or Marty for that part but Grbac was a cancer to the team. Nobody liked him and it showed on Sunday.

Patrick ascended to glory and atoned for the sins of all past playoff failures.

I now look at Matt Cassel as a really nice guy that wore red a time or two. No curse words or anything...

That was Carl's fault.
Carl never drafted a franchise QB. Hell, never even tried. Didn't even care to.

That's on him. To not understand the single most important ingredient to a SB is telling...
