Colt McCoy, a third round rookie QB is throwing to a who's who of scrub receivers, and he has looked better in three starts than Cassel has looked in 30+ starts.

Matt Cassel has run out of excuses. He's not a starting QB.

That's really the key point, right there ... for us Chiefs fans, I mean.

A combination of homervision, hope, and helplessness are causing people (including me, by the way) to look for the lipstick on Cassel's performances. I was watching Ruthlessburger last night and it struck me that there is a vast difference in things like footwork, throwing mechanics, reads, etc. between Cassel and guys like him. And I absolutely despise Ruthlessburger.

Given that I've grown accustomed to Cassel's delivery and resigned myself to the fact that his relatively slow release is due, in part, to his size, I was kind of stunned watching a big guy like Ruthlessburger who can (when he wants/needs to) get the ball out really, really fast and be extremely accurate (on the quick slant in the face of blitz pressure, for example).

It's sad because I know in my heart of hearts that Haley would like a dependable, consistent quarterback who can develop the passing game on this young team. Surely, he and Weis could draw up some interesting stuff with a guy who can consistently make reads and all the necessary professional throws. I have to believe that Haley dreams of a passing game that can compete with our rushing offense.

Just a guess, but Manning probably gets more attempts per game than Cassel does?

There are times i wish the Chiefs would let Cassel attempt more passes. Depends on the game situation....

They don't because they know what he is. This gameplan is tailored to make Cassel look decent....and it's not even doing that.

E Manning averages roughly 7.5 more attempts per game.

This hasn't really been discussed enough but consider this:

Both of the Chiefs TD "drives" were aided by the refs.

They gifted us with 40 yards on a bogus pass interference and with a 30-yard field on the bogus fumble.

Basically the only way we were scoring a TD in that game was the refs.

Without a running game Cassel couldn't lead a real drive worth a shit in that game, and he proved it in overtime.

Agree 100%, Send him packin along with Bowe...

If you ever took the time to read my fascinating, insightful posts, you would know that it actually has been discussed, Mr. GoghChiefs.

This offense cannot seem to sustain a long drive without help. More often than not, we enter the redzone with assistance from the enemy or the refs or both. I think that's one of the reasons for all the 4th down calls.

If you had to choose one QB for a "game winning drive" who would it be?

1. Bono
2. Grbac
3. Cassel

Grbac: 50 percent chance he wins the game, 50 percent chance he throws the ball in bounds with no timeouts left and 10 seconds on the clock.

Bono: 25 percent chance he wins the game, 50 percent chance he throws four straight incompletions, 25 percent chance he throws an interception.

Cassel: 10 percent chance he wins the game, 90 percent chance the drive stalls around midfield and he throws a Hail Ducky that hits the crossbar.

I'm not like everyone else.....I'm not giving up on Bowe.

Bowe has 4 drops on the year. 4 in ****ing 8 games.

Have they come at the most inopportune times? Yes. But FFS.....look at who is ahead of him on that list.

i see no reason that bowe needs to be off the team..

this thread really should be the wr's are getting no help due to a shitty ass horrible ****ing QB.

Yup.

Check this....

Tell me what the following players all have in common:

Miles Austin
Randy Moss
T.O.
Wes Welker
Andre Johnson
Brandon Marshall
Steve Smith(C)
Reggie Wayne
Mike Williams (Both Sea and TB)

Every one of these players has more drops and less TDs this season than Dwayne Bowe.

All I know is Andre Johnson CAUGHT his game winning TD, and didn't let the ball him in the damn chest and bounce to the turf.
