Quote:Cassel has zero knowledge of the system and zero reps with anyone on this offense. Additionally, I'm not even sure that he's all that much better than Henne. The Matt Cassel who led New England to 11-5 in Tom Brady's offense was playing with far greater talent around him, and he had experience in the scheme.

 

Plugging him in as the top backup a week before the season starts and releasing Henne is basically throwing the season should anything happen to Bortles. If you're going to sign Cassel then release Henne a few weeks into the season, what's the point? You've already guaranteed Henne's salary for the year, and you've guaranteed Cassel's, too. Henne sucks, I get it, and I don't disagree, but your fixation on replacing him right now with whatever big-name, medium-name, little-name or no-name quarterback happens to be available is kind of pathetic. Chad Henne is the best we're going to get in 2015. Hopefully that changes in 2016, but the time for changing backup quarterbacks is in March or April, not September 2nd.
