So what he'd get 40% over 2 years?

The fact that he was only marginally better with the Patriots receivers should tell us it's not just the receivers.

I agree. But this year he had no help from said receivers.

Ill root for him because he's my team's QB. That's not saying I expect much better just because he's my team's QB. But it does, essentially, make me a Cassell fan.

What other choice do we have? We want to win.

He's hottttttttttttttttttttttttttt. :D

It kind of sucks to tell you the truth.

I'll tell you my biggest fear. He gets hurt early next year and extends the Cassel experiment into 2011 and beyond. We need to see what we have with this guy. Quickly.

I'll admit I was in his corner when we signed him. But I was nervous after the reports in training camp and seeing the much noticable difference in arm strength between him and Croyle.

After about half way I started some Matt Cassel sucks threads and got neg repped by several. By the end of the season I feel I was on the correct path with said threads.

I'm pretty sure we're getting at least 2 more years, I think Haley will get fired before we change QB's.

I didn't want him before we ever made the move, the move just irritated the **** out of me. I don't think you can win anything with Matt Cassel at QB so we're stuck here spinning the wheels.

That's pretty much where I've been on this. It's well documented. For the 20th time, I hope I'm wrong.

If we do it will be because of defense and a solid running game. I can't see putting the ball in his hands and doing anything more than 4 wins without him making some huge strides.

He has to improve to a place where he's making the players around him better. He has to lead receivers into and out of their breaks, and he needs to trust things enough to put some touch on the ball. There were countless plays this year that were 18" behind the wideout...but there were as many that hit someone in the helmet or hands and neither failed attempt falls in our favor. It's hard to play well when your trust or faith is constantly being challenged, that absolves him of nothing, but it's exhausting.... Dropped passes weigh about 20-50 pounds each I'd say. That's what gets added to the weight the QB is carrying on his back when the receiver drops the ball on 3rd and open. In short, I say better timing and what can be statistically be called accuracy I guess, but more completely is really his impact on other players. If he's hitting guys in stride on everything and is recognizing that the best wideout we have is the open one, I'll be a very happy fan.

Basically we need marked improvement. There needs to be a presence from that position, but he needs talent around him and for Chief's sake a QB coach (obligatory). We need some explosive talent at the WR/slot position. I like Bowe and Chambers, but they're nearly the same player in my mind, which isn't bad necessarily. What's wrong with having talented man-sized depth at WR in the NFL? That's rhetorical, but the answer is nothing. We need however, a Santonio Holmes-Welker-Jackson-Maclin-Harvin-Esque player. Somebody feisty and quick/fast with option routes in their veins. Somebody has to get open, and become a threat with the ball in their hands.

Just my couple cents, sorry if I rambled.

LMAO.

Evidence A for why it's easy to be a guy. Mother****er looks like the missing link, and somewhere there's a chick who thinks he's hot.

An offensive line.
