People have never really had a problem with his performance, it is his lack of fire. Casey has always been a laid back kind of guy, which is good for a QB. But we have gone through (and may still be) a period where we have had a true lack of leadership by our players. The offensive coaches do not have that attutude you want (except Taylor), so we never saw the team get fired up. My point is that the knock on Casey has always been unjustified. And yes many people will say that we will be sorry that he is not in the lineup anymore, but that happens when a Senior QB leaves.
This year we have people willing to step up and be leaders, like Burnett and possibly CJ. We also have coaches who can put a spark into the offense. (I say put Sanders in the booth and leave Trooper on the field). Time will tell.
