Here are Matt Cassel's 1st 5 games as Brady's replacement in 2008:
13/18, 152 yards 1TD NE Points for Game - 17
16/23, 165 yards NE Points for Game - 19
19/31, 131 yards 1TD, 1INT NE Points for Game - 13
22/32, 259 yards 1TD, 2INT NE Points for Game - 30
22/38, 203 yards 1INT NE Points for Game - 10
Should NE have been looking for a different backup QB after those 5 games?
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Hey ThunderDan.... after those five games what was their Record with Matt Cassel as their Backup QB and were they losing?
In The 2008 Season and Week NO. 1 and despite losing Starting QB Tom Brady to a Season ending torn ACL and MCL and Backup QB Matt Cassell coming on to replace Brady the Patriots won the game against the KC Chiefs by a score of 17-10.
Week 2: The New England Patriots defeat the New York Jets by a score of 19-10. Season Record is now 2W - 0L.
Week 3: The Patriots suffer a terrible loss to the Miami Dolphins by a score of 38-13. Big Deal their HC id Bill Belichick and their Bye Week is in Week 4....loads of time to Re-Load. ....Season Record 2W - 1 L.
Week 4: Bye Week
Week 5: How well did the Patriots respond on a Road Game? Well not too bad with [B]a 30-21 win over the San Francisco 49ers.The Patriots Season Record goes to 3 W-1 L. It's OK and after a tough first game of a two game Western Road Swing..
Week 6: Work to do as the Patriots drop this 2nd game in a row on the Road (and it's difficult to play out West on the Road).At San Diego the Final Score was Chargers 30 - Patriots 10. The Season Record now falls to 3 W - 2 L.
Week 7: Back Home after going 1-1 on the Road and their Season Record at 3-2 the NE Patriots Blow Out the Denver Broncos by a score of 41-7.
Their Season Record goes to 4 W - 2 L....piece of cake !
Week 8: The Patriots keep rolling defeating the RAMS by a score of 23-16 to push their record without Tom Brady to 5 W - 2 L.
Things were going very well for the New England Patriots without the GREAT Tom Brady. The QB who will be deemed by a majority as the Greatest QB to ever play the game of football.
Despite finishing the regular season with an 11–5 record, the Patriots did not qualify for the playoffs. They were the first 11-win team since the expansion to a 12-team playoff in 1990 to not make the playoffs.
ThunderDan do you want to try to make some other point?

What point do you think I am trying to make? Because you completely missed it the first time you responded.

Moot point, NE had a defense. GB has none, not kind of one, NONE!!!
Finally, someone who gets my point.
The D is horrible and it isn’t reasonable for a backup QB to step in and run the O like the starter. It will take weeks for the O and Hundley to get to be a smooth running unit.
NE had a D that could step up and win games. We don’t. Losses will pile up but I am still not going to judge Hundley harshly yet. He needs more time to be honestly evaluated.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.
-Tim Harmston
I agree with you that it's really too soon to be judging Hundley. I can and will however harshly judge the rest of the team and coaching staff which yet again has failed to step up.
