News: PFT: Cowboys deal for Matt Cassel similar to one Bills made in March

And yet he made the pro-bowl in 2011,,, ?

As an injury replacement. The equivalent of a camp arm. He's ok for the price, just nothing to hang your hat on long term.

edit: I take it back, he had a good season in 2010.

By the time the 5th round comes around, I'm not sure I'll even notice it's missing.

In 2017.

David Lee had this to say, which is nice to hear.

"To me, he is really the glue in that quarterback room," Lee said Sept. 8. "I've seen him when things get difficult just sit those guys down and go through it with them. I've seen him share his notes, Xerox his notes, and say, 'This is how I categorized this.' I mean, he's ... I've never been around one that good. Chad Pennington was really good with the other quarterbacks.
"But this guy is really, really good."

5th round pick means little to nothing to me. Ryan Russell, Devin Street, and Joseph Randle were all pretty good picks. But before them was Danny Coale, Josh Thomas, and David Buehler. I don't think any of those guys are in the league anymore. O-Scan was a great 5th round pick, but he was probably their only really good pick in 20 years in the 5th round.

5th rounders are going to have a tough time making this team anyway.
