The risk was too much; if he ever was injured during one of those games, he'd never hear the end of it. Like Jason says, this was just bad lack; I blame it oh chaos theory. Plus, Belichick's decision gave Cassel the ability to learn the plays and have more time with the first team. It's almost as if Belichick saw this coming...

We all know Brady is a statue in the pocket, he always has been. What's the excuse for when this happened to Carson Palmer? It wouldn't have happened if the Bengals missed the playoffs? C'mon. This is just not a very smart or well thought out argument. It's bad luck. That's all it is.
