First of all, no. I'm no Cassel supporter. He lacks Manning's savviness and general skill overall. But to claim that a healthy Cassel is 40% of what Manning is after sitting out a year with multiple neck surgery, and by all accounts having 60% of the armstrength he formerly had is preposterous. Even saying that he is 40% of a healthy Manning is a stretch. The dude doesn't throw laserbeams and throw undroppable balls. I would say that a healthy Cassel is close to 65-70% of a Manning in his prime.
