First round pick, terrible second season where he showed little to no improvement and was promptly yanked from the field, had a cadet of die hard fans who defended him through thick and thin when he hadn't done anything substantial to earn their loyalty.
Maybin sucked more but there's a lot of parallels. JP is probably up there too.

Sounds like the same old stuff. Bash Cassel, talk about a couple preseason throws, bash Cassel, talk about how the competition "wasn't fair," bash Cassel, compare Tyrod's preseason to EJ's, bash Cassel, ad infinitum.
PFF doesn't rate things on the surrounding offense. It's a pure QB rating. I'm not saying I entirely disagree with you but it's close enough to go either way unless you have some bias.
