That's what I was thinking. He's under twice as big a gun now because the holy spirit is looking over his shoulder.

Did I miss it? Where's Phillip Rivers on this list? I mean, after the year he had last year and somehow Norv still being the head coach for an obviously declining team? If Rivers doesn't perform this year . . .

ROFL

If Cassell leads this team to the playoffs this season you have to admit that the experiment has been a success and he deserves a multi-year extension.

Even if for some reason he doesnt and the year is not a COMPLETE disaster he should be be back for next season regardless because how cheap he is.

YOur right, you dont...but thats the most popular way. The other way is bring in a FA. What gets overlooked alot around here is Pioli wanted Manning. Unfortunately, Manning wanted nothing to do with KC. My guess is Pioli isnt as sold on Cassel as alot of people think.

Cassells contract next season: 7.5 Million
1st pick quarterback contract: approx 15 million

...

that's too much money for a QB who can only fling it 3-7 yards consistently..

but if these passes start translating into wins, now that could be a different story..

IF Bradford is the Franchise Qb that people say he is, he doesnt need talent around him. He will elevate the players around him to his level.

Franchise QB's dont need the talent excuse. Its hyprocritcal to say otherwise.

Even franchise QBs need ADEQUATE talent. Bradford's offensive line has been HORRIBLE.

So horrible that they consider Barry Richardson an UPGRADE.

yep, that's bad.

Fair enough. But you have been her long enough to understand what I am saying.

What you are saying is that Pioli has a thing for QBs that can't throw over 15 yards?

Did someone drill a hole in your head and pour cement, or is that just a birth defect?

i agree with you.
Montana elevated the players around him in 93 when he was at the end of his Career.
he took JJ Birden, Willie Davis and Keith Cash as his primary receivers to the AFC CG.
not elite players there.
