The thing about Cassel, is he has good NFL size, good mobility, showed good poise and maturity, and leadership. The Schaub comparison is pretty fair, though Schaub had even less experience than Cassel does, when Houston traded for him. In fairness, a successful QB needs certain elements to be successful, and of course NE has those elements in place. There's maybe only a handful of teams that are as complete as the Patriots, so it would be hard to see him going someplace and turning the franchise around, again, maybe more stabilizing a position, as Schaub did in Houston, while they put the other pieces in place. I personally would like to see him in Seattle, with the Seahawks drafting Crabtree at #4.
