Rather than outline a statistical breakdown of why Matt Cassel is going to shred the Steelers secondary in London Sunday, we’d rather show you how many supporters Cassel has on the official source for opinions: Twitter.
First and definitely foremost, former Viking turned FOX analyst Randy Moss catches the eye.

Good to see Randy still has a little purple coarsing through those veins.
It’s been clear since yesterday that Vikings receivers are a fan of Cassel, and it was reiterated today by wideout Jerome Simpson.
Jerome Simpson on Matt Cassel: "He has great composure. You can just tell he has that leader in him. It's good to have him in the huddle …
