Look down at post #60. :D
BTW that is not a knock on DJ it just signals this was the final nail in the coffin. Cassel is staying and we need to get used to it.

Absolutely, I suppose I didn't make that point terribly clear.
The Pro Bowl nod and Cassel's retention are unrelated. Cassel was going to be here for awhile with or without the Pro Bowl nod. The TD/INT ratio pretty much guaranteed that.
I'm mostly rolling my eyes at the fact that I'm going to get to hear "Oh yeah, well he was a Pro Bowler, jackass" for the next 2 seasons. It's going to become a magic bullet that is drawn every time somebody points out his shortcomings.
All told, the PB nomination can only be a good thing for the Chiefs. The 'damage' as I see it was already done, with or without the PB berth, so the nomination itself has no downside. On the other hand, it raises the standing of the organization somewhat and it may help us get another WR threat in here.
It's just a virtual certainty to become an annoying meme that I'm positive I'll grow tired of by November of 2011.
Oh well. Like I said, I'm pretty much done with the "draft a QB" cry - the organization isn't going to go that route. I'm going to continue to insist that we can (and should) do better, but ultimately I have no choice but to hope the plan that has failed for the last 25 years, finally falls into place.
