dont look for anything longer than 30 yards in the air

There's little doubt that this will happen. And there will be a shit ton of "What do you say now, Draftabulators?!???".

And the draftabulators will continue to post that he sucks, which will be true, and this will be labeled as "bitching for the sake of bitching," truth be damned.

That's another thing you just made me think into consideration. I remember arguing with several members awhile back about the fortunate "luck" that Damon Huard had during the 2006 season, if I am not mistaken. Damon went 4-0 against the medicore NFC West, and 1-3 against decent teams. He was humiliated by Pittsburgh, and he was almost crying in Miami.

So, there's another dangerous factor that I haven't even thought of it, until you mention it now, that could make Cassel look good than he really is. The schedule.

Yeah.

Then he needs to join the Hungarian Transsexual Traveling Circus and fall from a high wire into a cage of ravenous lions during a free children's performance in Budapest.

The miserable, goofy, pencil-necked bastard.

I don't think that's going to happen. Mainly because I don't think Cassel will be here after this year ... not unless he is surprisingly and amazingly spectacular.

This season, if Cassel is what he is and does what he does, Weis will tell Haley and Pioli to save Clark his almost 18 million dollars ... that the punkin-headed doofus is a lost cause and not worth either the effort or the money. Then, the Chiefs will start worrying about who's next in line.

It seems that we're talking about mutually exclusive factors.

The problem, as I see it though, is that Cassel's statistical line will be respectable, if not a notch about average, because we've hired a solid QB deodorant in Charlie Weis.

Thus, you might be right that the smelly bastard will be kicked to the curb, but this won't spare us the True Fan malaise in the interim.

it's like a bad prophecy coming true


plus, we'll win just enough to keep Cassel for 2 more years, or just enough to miss out on the top QB prospects....this is KC's fate


so it is written, so it told

winning is the best deodorant.

:facepalm:

lalalalalalalalalala not reading/understanding/pondering this message.

That's how Cassel put up the stats he did in 2008. He played against the NFC West and had monster #s against them. Against everyone else, save one Jets game, he sucked dick.

SFO: 259 Yards
AZ: 345 Yards, 3 TDs
Sea:268 Yards
St. Louis: 267 Yards

Weis isn't going to either evaluate or remain loyal to Cassel based on wins or losses, Mr. Coach. He'll grade him out just like any other player.

I honestly don't see Clark shelling out an extra almost 18 million dollar paycheck to this guy at the end of the year. I don't see it. He may be short, but he's not blind.

And if Pioli stubbornly (and stupidly) believes that Cassel can still be the answer? After all, he was "good" in NE...

You really think Clark will overrule the "Executive of the Decade's" opinion of personnel?

Well, apparently, I have more faith in Pioli than most of the haters (his first Chiefs draft, notwithstanding).

Again, if Cassel doesn't step up his game and prove to Weis that he can be the quarterback of a winning football team going forward, our long, National Football League nightmare will be over.

The dick-ring in the pudding is the bonus due at the end of this season. The contract was structured to give the Chiefs a way out and, if Cassel grades out poorly, it's over.

That is my firm belief.

FAX

That's where I'm at too. And I agree with the idea that if Cassel is here after 2010 (assuming he is anything but spectacular, which I doubt he will be), that Pioli is making an enormous mistake. Now, the other possibility that I would be fine with, is if Cassel has a decent season, the Chiefs restructure his contract, and then draft a first rounder like Luck or Locker.

The coordinators can make in game adjustments
