The Patriots are without a question, a team that deserves all the possible honors a team can obtain – ok, ok, that is if we put the Bill Beli-cheat deal out of the table – and let me tell you, I just don’t believe they are only good, they are very lucky too.
Why? Well, the reason has a name, and that is Matt Cassel, what an amazing quarterback the rookie is! And to think that nobody believed in him when the NFL season started, I guess that is just the way things are in American football and sports in general, a player must prove himself in front of a big crowd in despite of obtaining an starting position. And believe me; I am sure Patriots fans are happy with Cassel’s performance on the football field.
Tom Brady is a man that deserves a spot in the hall of fame and we all know that, but before he got injured, Matt Cassel was just a shadow behind him, and I’m sure New England Patriots fans were expecting Brady to be injury-proof all of his career so they didn’t had to see what a rookie like Cassel could do or not.
Why the fear about Matt Cassel? Well, because he never was a steady starting quarterback before and his experience in regular NFL season games was quite poor.
But wait! Something great happen – at least for Cassel – Tom Brady got injured in the first game of the regular season! And here comes the chance for the rookie to show people what he’s made of.
Of course we all know what happened afterwards, Matt Cassel does an outstanding job, leading to the Patriots to an excellent regular season record during his first year as the official starting quarterback for the team. Sure, he didn’t lead the Pats to the Super Bowl, but who knows, maybe next year…
