Whats Doug Flutie and Matt Cassels Role in all this?
Doug Flutie has been dubbed as the “official” number two quarterback by Bill Belichick, leaving impressive rookie Matt Cassel in the dust as the number three. If hell were to freeze over and Tom Brady were to become injured for an extended period of time; I honestly think I’d rather see Cassel take the role as the new number one quarterback. Doug, don’t get me wrong, we all love you, but your 42, aging, and under-throwing everything in your way; it may be time to step down. Cassel, the former USC Trojan, has been nothing less than impressive. From the first time I saw him in the pre-season opener against the Cincinatti Bengals, I instantly fell in love with his ability. Since taking over with four minutes left in the first half, Cassel led the defending champions to four scoring drives, finishing with an impressive line of 13-20 passing for 135 yards, while tossing two touchdown passes; leading the Pats to a 23-13 victory.
