[QUOTE=htismaqe;5665302]I'm absolutely willing to give him a chance. In fact, I'm fairly convinced that he's our QBotF.

However, the absolutes being thrown around in regards to the guy really bug me.[/QUOTE]

That's how I feel about Curry. The bolded part I mean.

PhilFree:arrow:

The only absolutes being thrown around about Curry are coming from the PRO-Curry side.

Mmm...:hmmm:

This pot needs more ingredients!

Assuming the statement originated with Cassel and his Agent, the fact that it has even been put out there does not bode well for the 1st Messiah, as we all know how Pioli demands the Iron Curtain when it comes to house information.

Therefore, I hypothesize that only one of two scenarios can and will result from this:

A) Dream of the 1st Messiah's Faithful:
This is a bartering tool( though not a very wise one when dealing with Pioli )for a larger long-term contract, scripted by Cassel's agent to give the impression that Cassel could yet still be available to other teams who are interested in him, and to of course "drive up the staying price" in KC.

B) High Drama:
This is the first, consensual between all parties, SCRIPTED shot fired in what will be a strategically executed plan of saying goodbye to the 1st Messiah because the deal was never truly done, because pending trades involving Waters, Gonzales, and Cassel are somehow tied to each other, or because the 1st Messiah was a carrot to be dangled from the get-go.

Now:

Stirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...:evil:

There's more to Cassel not getting a long term deal than people want to admit.

To destroy the Broncos?

Aye!

that could be said the other way too.

6 could be 9...

I think the 1 year deal is a smart thing. It's franchise tag level pay but a tryout year.

Yep!

Who spends an early 2nd round pick on a tryout?

Every team in the NFL.

The Chiefs apparently.

Err, no.

Every drafted player is a "tryout". The only difference is the expense involved.
