With Tom Brady suffering a season ending injury in the Patriots first game of the season, back-up Matt Cassel has emerged as a legitimate starting QB in the NFL. He has thrown for over 800 yards in his past two games as he is becoming more comfortable with his star receiver Randy Moss. In Cassel's first season as a starter since high school, he has completed an impressive 66% of his passes and has 13 TDs to only 8 INTs. With his play getting better and better as the season rolls on, it seems likely that Cassel will be starting for another team next season with Tom Brady coming back from his knee injury. Here are the top 3 teams that I see Cassel possibly going to in the offseason.
1. San Francisco 49ers
A glaring weakness for the 49ers the past few seasons has been at QB. Former 1st overall pick Alex Smith has either been injured or ineffective so far and it's doubtful he'll be with the team next season. I'm not sure the Niners would want to draft a QB again in the first round and go another couple of seasons trying to bring along an unproven QB. They should go for Cassel and then spend their first round pick on Michael Crabtree or another receiving weapon. This obviously depends on whether current QB Shaun Hill can prove himself in the last few games of the season.
Rest of list at the Muffin!
