I feel that has a detrimental effect on a team too. Heck look what he did with a back up qb last year, not bad. I am just saying you can't always hit home runs and yes they overestimated how much they had and were willing to go without this year.
The Rams, Cardinals (at home in a blizzard), Niners, Seahawks, Raiders and Chiefs, along with the Bills twice, had a lot to do with his success last year with Cassell. So did having the 5 yard dump-off to Welker that turned into the 20 yard gain after the catch

So he was 3-5 with a back-up QB against the decent teams on the schedule.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
