At some point in time, his play and the Chiefs success may prove that trading for and signing him was in the best interest of the Chiefs organization. But to make that call after two ****ing preseason games?

WTF?

Macintosh has been the FAR better player of the two thus far. Had D-Mac put together the kind of outing that Richardson just did, people would've wanted him killed, not merely cut.

Richardson was not good. Not good at all. Johnson didn't do him any favors, but Richardson hardly looked like a guy that's going to be an NFL caliber starter.

The O-line took a pretty large step backwards and Richardson was the worst player on it, IMO. I don't think those 2 things are mere coincidence.

That's just not true.

Willie Davis, JJ Birden, Keith Cash, Christian Okoye, Barry Word, Marcus Allen...good players for sure.

Christian Okoye/Barry Word= Good for VERY short periods of time, but very good for what they did, I'll concede these two.
Marcus Allen=Old when he got here. Almost exclusively a goal line/short yardage player. Not a great player by any means.

ANYWAY YOU WRONG! :cuss:

The Chiefs had talent on offense. Maybe not ELITE talent, but talented players for sure.

I didn't watch MC last year except for the Chiefs game nor did I watch any remaining games of MC the rest of 2008. However, in last week's game against the Texans there was one play in which MC brilliantly scrambled out of the pocket and hit SR on the run only for SR to drop it reminded me so much of what Elway used do to us all the time.

After last nites performance of MC and I don't say this litely;we have found our John Elway. The whole night I caught myself in the "twilight zone" thinking MC is the 2nd coming of Elway. I couldn't "BELIEVE" how much he plays and looks like Elway on the field(regardless of MC wearing No.7 LOL!). Most of all MC's "instinctual feel and playmaking ability" in and out of the pocket was genius 'vintage Elway' of the past.

Fellas, it is our time to return the favor to Denver and the rest of the NFL for at least the next 10yrs. We are in good hands!!!

Now you know why Scott Pioli decided Matt Cassel was worth a second-round draft choice and $63 million of Hunt money. He can make the best out of a horrible situation and look pretty calm doing it, as if it was business as usual.

Sure. The Patriots had protection problems last year. Cassel frequently had to run.

I am sure the fact that Cassel can make a play when things break down factored into Pioli's decision.

I could go on, talk about how Cassel was constantly turning his head, going through his progressions like a robot and throwing with consistent accuracy, but you get the idea. It’s nothing new, however. It’s all on tape, 16 games of it, from a year ago in New England. It’s the same player, doing the same things, leading his team down the field and into the end zone.

But like many theories that look great on paper it’s the practical application where the flaws will surface.
