Cassel's stats compare rather favorably with Josh Freeman.
Cassel:
212-354, 2503 yds, 23 TDs, 4 INTs,
Freeman:
228-390, 2708 yds, 17 TDs, 6 INTs
The Chiefs are the league's #1 running team and are the only team that have two RBs in the top 20 in rushing. Cassel's stats are also inflated by garbage time passing yards earned in a complete blowout in Denver.
Cassel is in no way a top 5 QB. I would take Matt Schaub over him in a heartbeat and Schaub is on no one's top 5 list. Would anyone really want their team in the hands of Matt Cassel with 2 minutes to go in a big game?
