This might be heresy, but I think Tom Brady is a bit of a system quarterback.And I don't mean that as a pure knock on the guy, but he was really a great skill set that got dropped into a rather innovative system. And he excelled with his brains more than his physical skill, I'd suggest. Recievers have been interchangable and this really went to the next level with Moss and Welker. A great pass emphasis and greater talent sent Brady to elite levels, but the little crosses they ran and that line protection benefited him greatly. Furthermore, I think the Pats were due for a rollback this year. Lots of age, lots of luck(which the law of averages started to even out yesterday) and just the mental mind F of going unbeaten then losing the bowl, I thought they were in for it a bit this year. So what does this mean?Obvious downgrade to Cassel as a quarterback. No way an eight year back up can compare with a Hall of Famer, even if you speculate he was system driven. Jaime Martin put up some ok numbers in St. Louis but he wasn't Kurt Warner. Talent has to meet opportunity halfway. But I think he could have success on the level of the 03-06 Brady. 3500 yards and 25+ TDs. He gets the bump to that level because of the talent upgrade. Not the 4000 and 40 TDs you would have earmarked for Brady, but a representative number to make an impact for probably all but three fantasy teams in your league(excepting the Peyton/Romo/Brees crowd). Personally, I have Carson Palmer as my QB in one league and I'm eyeing him as an immediate upgrade based on what i saw of what seemed to be a lost Palmer yesterday and the opportunity that awaits Cassel. I think any talk of another QB is crazy. This is not an easy system and there is no stud out there. Career scrub Chris Simms is an upgrade over Cassel with 4 years of experience? I don't think so.
