Matt Cassel has been cleared by team doctors for full contact practice this week. As the team heads into their bye week he and Brady Quinn will both be getting reps with the starters. Head coach, Romeo Crennel, has left the door open for either quarterback to start against the Raiders in week eight. With the Raiders coming to town, I see a team that is very beatable. I sincerely hope that one of them steps up and take hold of the job because I don't know a single team that has had a quarterback controversy during the season and has been successful (ex: Jets, Eagles, Cardinals). If you don't know who's leading your offense, it's hard to move forward with your game plan. No matter how good the rest of your team is, a defined leader is a must have for you to win games. We can run the ball all we want, but without a QB that can convert on third down every once in awhile or a defense like the 2000 Baltimore Ravens, you won't get very far.
Cassel gives us the best chance to win. He is the best QB on our roster (sadly). I could be wrong, but I doubt it. I want a decision to be made this week and I don't want the controversy to continue any further. The coaching staff has to make the decision and stick with it because if a coach doesn't trust his leader, why would he trust himself? This is a vital week for the team.
Who will win? Vote on the new poll!
