Can Cassel Conquer?



Monday, September 8th, many people's worst fears were confirmed. It was announced that Tom Brady, arguably the greatest quarterback of all time, will be (here comes the words that haunt me forever) out-for-the-rest-of-the-season because of tearing not only his ACL, but his MCL as well.

With Brady out, who will replace him? It looks like Matt Cassel, someone who started off as a baseball player will be the one. Cassel apparently didn't take a liking to his baseball career and switched to football. All of that is fine, players switch all of the time however, the fact that he hasn't started a single game since high school is a little disconcerting.






On the plus side, there are a few similarities he shares with Brady. They were late-round-picks, both started off as baseball players, both around 6'4 to 6'5, hey, maybe he won't be that bad. It looks like they're not so different after all.

Cassel will officially start his career as quarterback Sunday at 4pm against the Jets at Giant Stadium.

Will this lifelong backup be able to keep the Patriot's season on track?

Good topics. Your punctuation needs to be better (missing commas, etc.)

“Last night's game, Rutgers lost to North Carolina by 32 points! “

“In last night’s game, …”

And in that statement about Brady being out, grammatically all the words should all have hyphens between them. Also, I see that you included links. There are ways to make those links “hot” in the text. I can show you how to do it if need be.
