He's not, and I'll bet he feels pressure from all around him to improve at QB.

Agreed, too much noise out there about our QB position for him to trot Cassel out there this year as our starter.

It's kinda crazy how all this qb talk has exploded.


Early in the offseason it was "the Chiefs are content with Cassel". Now not so much.

Because this is the most we have heard about the QB position since Pioli got here. Every other time it was defending Cassel.

They have set themselves up to piss off the whole fanbase if they don't make any legit moves, trot Cassel out there and get bitch slapped again.

WE got a taste of an upgrade at qb for only 3 or 4 weeks and now WE want one for real.

I say WE because it's not just ChiefsPlanet that wants an upgrade, it's the majority of the fan base now.

Those few games with Orton probably opened the eyes of a lot of people.

It should be noted that new coaches mean new quarterbacks.

That's by and large one of the key principles in the NFL.

:grovel:

Crennel certainly hasn't gone out of his way to protect Cassel. He has so far said he wants Orton back, implied if Orton was back it would be a serious battle, said you would be stupid to not go look at Manning, and finally almost blew his load talking about RG3.

Now none of these comments are crazy or prove anything. That being said, none of this, or anything even close, has been talked about by the organization before this offseason. With what we are looking at, any sign has to be viewed as positive.

As down as people including myself have been, I think we are at the point where if the chance came KC would get another QB. Now I am not saying Pioli will take the necessary steps, or pay the price we feel he should. I do feel that if the right price comes around, he would go after one of the 3 QBs Crennel seems to like. I just hope he is going to be more agressive at that than most of us expect.

A few months ago I felt that even if a team offered a good trade up for a QB to us or if Manning asked to come here Pioli would have turned both situations down. Now I think at the very least we are at the point where he would take it if he felt it was fair for the team. I want more than that in agressiveness, but atleast the door is open.

I've updated this thread with the most recent news from KFFL, although the most recent news is kind of obvious.

Bowe is on returns now

Bowe would be good at KR/PR.

I'm pretty sure that means if he returns to the team, not if he returns kicks.

Yeah that seems like a simple conclusion to come to if they keep Bowe.

Anyone else but me think Mike Tolbert would be the perfect compliment to Charles?

Tolbert is underrated as Hell, IMO. I would love to see us pick him up.
