Agree that Cassel wouldn't have won that many games with the 2011 Colts but he'd be more competitive than what the Colts used for QBs that year.

He did have about 3 years worth of development and learning on the Pats system/style before he started the 2008 season unlike Painter or whoever else the Colts used in 2011.
