Matt Cassel - who's his backup?

What happens if Matt Cassel gets hurt, who's the Pats 3rd string QB?

If it gets that far... does it really matter?

Kevin O'Connell

and he's better than Cassel. O'Connell is a rookie who is being groomed to take over the starting roll when Brady calls it quits. Nothing but high praises about him from New England fans.

Cassel can look forward to backing him up someday as well.

I go to San Diego State games occasionally and have seen O'Connell a few times. He's good.

[SlickFazzer]

They are searching for another quality arm.

O'Connell looked better than Cassel in the preseason.
