YoloinOhio Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Interesting @SalSports: Cassel said 1 of reasons he chose to come back to Bills is his wife is 8 mo pregnant & even though he had offers, it made most sense to stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 It's actually true. Look it up. Cassel averages 3.8 yards carry. EJM averages 3.4 Also, his combine numbers were a lot closer to TT than they were to EJM who looked like Tom Brady by the numbers. EJ: 14 starts: 69 attempts, 238 yds, 3 TDs 3.4 yd average. MC: 1st 14 games: 12 attempts, 28 yds, 1 TD 2.3 yd average. MC: 1st 14 games as a starter: Week 1: 4 for 13 yds, No TDs Week 2: 1 for 7 yds, No TDs Week 3: 2 for 4 yds, No TDs Week 4: 4 for 5 yds, No TDs (longest run of 6 yds ) Week 5: 7 for 29 yds, No TDs Week 6: 4 for 1 yd, No TDs (longest run of 4 yds) Week 7: 7 for 22 yds, No TDs Week 8: 5 for 20 yds, No TDs Week 9: 9 for 22 yds, 1 TD (longest run of 13 yds, and vs Bills) Week 10: 8 for 62 yds, No TDs Week 11: 2 for 14 yds, 1TD Week 12: 2 for 1 yd, No TDs Week 13: 7 for 14 yds, No TDs Week 14: 6 for 18 yds, No TDs Cassel's first 14 starts: 68 rushes for 233 yards, and 2 TDs Yes, I can see how you think he's so much better.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 @ChrisBrownBills: The #Bills have re-signed QB Matt Cassel. TE Nick O'Leary released to make room on roster. More at http://t.co/tgttAMwjdw. Well shiver me timbers and bite me a barnacle, Dealer Doug strikes again. Any word on what his salary is? I'm pleased, actually, because I thought under the circs it made us a better team to keep a vet who knows the playbook. I just thought, once he was cut, he would go elsewhere for more money than we were likely willing to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in Chicago Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 distractions are never good but I don't think the QB who is playing is distracted (other than by fake TMZ reports) Maybe Lurker was talking about us TBd'ers he would go elsewhere for more money than we were likely willing to pay. So, if NE** didnt want him, is that a good thing or bad ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin in Va Beach Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 @viccarucci #Bills QB coach David Lee says Matt Cassel "almost got" the starting job that went to Tyrod Taylor. And yet no team wanted him as he sat there on waivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we only pick the games you want to include. Let's not include the careers of these players. For example you but a weird face on Cassels longest of 6 but ignore that EJ's longest was 8 last year. Or Cassel's longest is 23 in his career but EJ is 19. In that game 3 of those could have been downing ball where you lose a yard each time. Not a sack, but a rush for -1 yard. How's about EJ has 4 fumbles in 14 games but Cassel only had 2 in his first 14 games? Edited September 8, 2015 by VABills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 And yet no team wanted him as he sat there on waivers he isn't subject to waivers. He had other offers but chose to come back to Bills. One reason he cited is timing - wife 8 months pregnant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABills Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 And yet no team wanted him as he sat there on waivers Houston made him a contract offer for more than Buffalo, but with escalators he could make most of his 4.1 million back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a debatable topic. Matt Cassel himself would undoubtedly tell you that he is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Cassel himself would undoubtedly tell you that he is not. Link? I show statistical proof, in his athletic numbers, actual stats and yet you and other prove to ignore. EJ is a statue compared to Cassel. EJ cannot run the offense that TT runs,and neither can Cassel, because neither has his speed, elusiveness, nor other intangibles. But Cassel is more athletically gifted with the legs than EJ is. You guys do know that Cassel really played very little in collage and was a backup QB ala Frank Reich. He actually played multiple positions including TE and WR in college. Edited September 8, 2015 by VABills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh its the safest he will be. Collects a paycheck and doesn't risk getting hurt, and when he takes maternity leave EJ can step up as backup.

machine gun kelly Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 HELL NO! Was it over when the Germans bombed pearl harbor!?!? HELL NO, "Germans.. Pearl Harbor, Don't stop him, he's on a roll" I love it. Cassel at $900,000 is great. Both Tyrod and EJ could get hurt. Cassel is good insurance. Never that crazy about Leary. He was fun at FSU, but didn't impress this pre-season. God I can't wait for Thursday night. How much does everyone want to see a bell rung by Marsha, Marsha, Marsha. Nothing serious by the PC police, just a wake up call. Then 5 sacks in weeks 2 from the cry baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
