No Matter How Hard This Franchise Tries to Protect Cassel From Fail...
 

...they can't. Today's gameplan to protect Cassel is a microcosm of the last four years. Pioli & co should be publicly flogged.

Cassel is clearly feeling the pressure today. He looks terrified to be out there.

Thankfully, the plan isn't working.

On that fumble at the goal line, he just got jittery. His hand placement was way off and he was shuffling his feet before the snap. All on him.

Pioli is the hardest headed sonofabitch EVER.

He is DESTROYING this team with it.

Gonna get Charles hurt just to protect Cassel...

Gutless bastards.

Maybe they have seen Brady Quinn practice!

After today, I'm done. I won't watch another down with Matt Cassel as QB.

**** you n00b

Worst display of coaching ever. Pussies, everyone of them on the coaching staff.

If they wanted to protect him, they'd be calling short passes and screens, trying to give him artificially inflated 'normal' passing numbers. Not throwing the ball just exposes the fact they don't think he can execute. This is a franchise giving up on a QB.

he's hurt!!!

Down goes Cassel! Down goes Cassel!

HE'S TOUGH HE'LL BE BACK!

Might not have to wait long...

HE WILL YOU JUST WATCH!1

That first half was just incredible.

It was an entirely transparent effort to take the burden off Cassel ... of actually having to play the quarterback position.

Brady Quin's two passes to Bowe, the laser for a first down, and the called back TD were far better than any pass we've seen from Matt Cassel in 4 1/2 years.

This

It's a fact.

An incredible and very sad fact, but a fact nonetheless.

He actually "led" the receivers. Led. The. Receivers.

Our guys aren't accustomed to that.

I tolk knuckleheads on here that Quinn was FAR more talented than bitch ass Cassel. Oh, and **** THE REFS TOO!!!!!

This x 1000,000 .

I didn't know that was a question.

Quinn's issues have always been decision making.

Do you like captain checkdown's decision making? Are you still trying to argue with me? If so, you are a ****ing idiot!!! and don't know shit about ****ing football...

anybody who supports cassel is a ****ing loser PERIOD!!!!!

First, you useless ****, I have never argued with your dumb ass.

I didn't even know your useless dumb ass existed until this thread.

Second, you knuckle dragger, I didn't say a ****ing thing about Cassel's decision making, and I have been critisizing Cassel fo rlonger than almost everyone else here.

I simply pointed out, you uncontrollable drooller, the question that surrounds Quinn.

Thinking Quinn sucks is not supporting Cassel. Sure, people get excited ever two passes. I get that. We'll see what there is to be excited about when he's on the field for more than one drive. My guess is not much.

This was the worst game plan I've ever seen in my life. It doesn't even protect the QB. It hurts the team more than Cassel throwing would. Drives were conceded as soon as we got the ball.

Playing not to have turnovers and not playing to win won't win many games. The last play of the first half should have been sufficient to have every coach on the team fired

**** you bitch.

Question mark.

It they were giving up on him, he would have been benched. This was a franchise trying to protect him from himself. He can't even make plays on "short passes and screens." Unless you count getting your receivers killed as making plays.

i think Cassel is just mentally checked out. Give me 40 million and I'd check out too

HEY...Matt achieved more yards passing in the first 3 games anyone on in Chiefs history!!

I have no idea what the thinking is going into this game. QB is the most important position on the field. Yet the KC Chiefs coaching staff thinks their QB is so bad they have to gameplan around his suckage. If that's the case get him out of here. Even with his limited role Cassel threw two picks which were both his fault and had another fumble. Five games in and the guy has 13 turnovers. This isn't the 1970s where you can run the ball every down. Teams adjust and will force us to throw the ball. So how do we react to those situations? We run the ball anyway and then line up for a punt.

Even Dan Fouts had it. You established the run. Protect your QB by going to the play action pass.

Going into yesterday's game, the Chiefs were 3rd in the league in 3rd-down efficiency!

andrew luck ran a no-huddle and threw it 51 times yesterday...in his 5th game ever


Matt Cassel is a 30 year old piece of shit who throws 4 passes a half...

The coaching staff couldn’t have made it more apparent that Cassel is being forced on them by the front office. They might as well have had signs saying, “Hey Chiefs fans, we are with you, so watch this…”

Either that or a Broncos,Chargers,Raiders fan:thumb:

I think he's mentally exhausted. The booing has gotten worse this year, but he's been dealing with it for sometime now. He knew about the banner. I wouldn't doubt if he read the damn thread. We finally broke him. Damn shame. Great ****ing dude. Shitty ****ing quarterback. I honestly think he's done. He knows this is his last year in the league, and he's checked out. Can't blame him really.

In the end, I don't think he even believed in the managements belief in him. I think he bought it up until the last couple of games though. How embarassing for him to go out in that game Sunday with that gameplan that tried to minimize him. It would be interesting to know how much he played into Pisoli's obsession with keeping him in the starters role. My guess is very little. Just another pawn in Pisoli's psychotic game of chess

I was on the same page everybody on this, and I still mostly am, but when I watch that Ravens Micd Up video I sort of change my tune.

The way they talk about how Cassel is checking out of passing plays...maybe Daboll was trying to give him some shots but it was actually Cassel that was too scared to pull the trigger..?? Maybe he was protecting himself more than the coaches even were..??

Either way, the fact still remains, the guy can't play QB that way. He was a shitty QB with confidence. Take that way and you've got absolutely nothing.

Poor Matt. Never started a game after high school, never played in college yet STILL managed to get drafted...HTF is that even possible?

Then he holds the clip board behind a hall of fame QB and has one year with one of the greatest offenses in history to make him look like a QB...even though he WAS sacked like 5000 times that year, and that propels him to a 63 million dollar contract with the Chiefs.

What are the odds that a no talent never started a meaningful game until a few years into his NFL career backup QB gets that kind of contract which sets him up for life?

It must have been like winning the goddam lottery!

Anyone supporting Quinn is a life loser.
