I dont disagree. Its just more of an indictment of how untalented Matt Cassel really is.

:spock:

It's entirely possible for the rest of the team to overcome poor QB play and still win the game.

Really? Night and day comparing Manning and Cassel? Wow, I never would have imagined.

If Bowe catches the ball KC takes the lead late in the 3rd quarter and has lots of momentum (INT followed by a TD). Not to mention Haley's dumbass decision not to go for 3 on the first drive.

Cassel came up flat for most of the 4th (before Haley's 2nd dumbass decision to go for a 50 yard field goal needing two scores), but the TD drop hurt big.

Not really. Because without an all-world D, this team isnt winning anything significant in the post-season with Cassel at QB.

Of course it is, but in those games even poor QB play is enough to win it.

They let the Texans game slip away by not being able to get a stop in the 4th. All it took was one and they gave up 4 straight TD's. They were torched in Denver. They allowed Jason Cambell to not only lead a drive to tie the game, but win the game with a big throw in OT. A couple defensive stops in crunch time and they are 7-2.

Awesome. Thats what I want. A poor QB that plays not to lose.

Oh wait. We have that.

I bet you guys all pine for the days of Lin Elliot and Todd Blackledge.

For a team that is in their first year of rebuilding (again) overall the team isn't doing so bad. The way most have posted here you would think the expectations after an 0-4 pre-season wouldn't be very high. Sounds like you all expect the playoffs and possibly the Super Bowl this year.

I'd like to see the best, but I don't expect the best of this team this year. Within the next 2-3 they should be making a serious run.

:spock:

But we aren't and that's the rub for most of you. You get what you get, and this team is just not really ready for prime time, that's the facts of life here. We are doing better now than the past 2 or 3 years. The team is looking to take steps to get better each year.

Should we get better and get through the playoffs are you all still going to hammer Cassel if he is the QB?

No, because if we win a couple playoff games, that means Cassel would not be starting.

Cassel will never win a playoff game in Kansas City.

Wanna put a bet on that?

True. I wouldn't mind keeping Brodie as a backup I think that is what he is good at but we need to cut bait with Cassel after the season.
