Dexter McCluster will catch 90 balls
 

According to Jim Zorn, who talked to this fan on an airplane.

I'm utterly horrified if this account is true. This means:

A)I will be destroyed in another bet.

B)Our offense will be a joke if McCluster touches the ball that much.

Who the **** is going to leave the lineup so he can do that?


EDIT: Time for a new QB coach.

C) youre a complete failure when it comes to football knowledge.

90 seems a tad high...

yeah one would think...

If he has that many catches, how many does Bowe, Baldwin and Breaston get? We aren't gonna throw it that much.

most fantasy website still list him as a RB

Zorn is high.


That would mean DBowe & Baldwin massively underperformed.

6 bubble screens a game, sounds about right.

•Zorn said this is really the first season he's had quality one on one time with Cassel. Said before everything went through Haley.
•Said Haley and everyone in the organization knew Haley had to go, it wasn't a good fit.
•I noted my biggest criticism of Cassel is he is hesitant in the pocket, that he has to wait for the WR to be open to pull the trigger, versus anticipating the open WR. Zorn said that's a New England/Tom Brady way of doing it, give the QB all day in the pocket to find the open WR. •Zorn said Cassel practiced mistakes last 2 years, wasn't corrected properly in practice.
•He likes Daboll's offense, said it's a blend of West Coast and vertical passing game.
•Zorn loves McCluster, predicted he would have 90 catches this year. (so pick him up on your fantasy wire, I did..)
•He wasn't impressed with Moeaki, mostly because he was injured in Zorn's first year, but he said Moeaki's tape was just OK, that he wanted to see it live before praising the kid.
•He heaped huge praise on Hillis, and said Charles still isn't 100% (at the start of camp).
•He didn't blame Bowe for not signing, said no matter when he shows up he'll be way behind, all it takes is missing mini camps.
•Zorn said he had offers to go and coach elsewhere but the Chiefs wouldn't let him out of his contract, and declined other teams interests in interviewing him. He wouldn't say where, but did say he was happy to stay, to work with Daboll and Romeo. I like that we have a coach in demand.

Interdasting.

Cassel and Dexter seem made for each other.

They could be like the toasty and crispy of the career-day defense, only on offense.

A true dynumbic duo.

90 catches at 5-8 yrds a pop?

5/6 catches, 40 yrds a game


it's feasible for a few games but i just doubt it can be that consistent

Awesome. The more touches the better for a playmaker like him.

Could Haley really have been taht bad for Cassel and the team overall?

Yes.

It'll be less than that. McCluster gets touched he goes down....

Yahoo has him as a RB, WR now, but only added the WR portion in the last week it seems. I dropped him for Ogletree but will keep an eye on him.

5-6 catches for 40 yards isn't that great though, even in PPR.

I find it hard to believe that he was THAT toxic, caused that many problems with Cassel and the team, then was quickly signed by the Steelers to overhaul their offense.

Maybe 90 touches.

It's a good old boy league, Tuna has got his back.

Thinkin his Tuna connection is burned, seeing that Tuna's son in law just fired him.

The only possible way I could see him with anywhere near 90 catches is if we are constantly playing from behind by double digits.

Maybe the Chiefs are gonna toss it around more this year than we think they will.

Not buying.

i don't know but he wasn't signed that quickly


in fact, get the feeling that if he didn't have steeler roots he wouldn't of gotten a OC level job at all. He probably would of had to go back to WR's.

I am having trouble believing that Zorn would be that forthcoming with some random dipshit on a plane.

Ya. Probably was what was said.

Steelers connection

It wouldn't entirely surprise me. Cassel's not going to start targeting guys 25 yards down the field out of nowhere, so I'm sure the underneath slants and crossing routes are going to be pretty common. And who is usually running those routes...?

No wonder they don't want to sign Bowe then. Gotta save that money for Welker.

Cassel could have 5 days in the pocket and not find shit.

He chased off every offensive coordinator this team brought in, his shouting matches with Cassel and others are all over YouTube and I’ve only seen a head coach draw the personal foul penalty like three times before and two of those were high school level. :shrug: At least I would not deny the possibility.

Lies.

Why the F not?

That doesn't make sense.

reeruned

Oh well. It's not like Cassel can get him the ball anyway.

Zorn STFU. Nobody wants you.

Exxxxxxxxxxxactly.

Wasn't Bowe single covered and open on that play?

I REALLY hope that Haley was the reason that we sucked hard on offense.

Nope. It was Cassel. Sorry.

I mean, I guess there is a chance Haley was the problem, but I'm not so sure.

DAMNIT!!!!!!!!

No coach can polish that turd.

So is everybody still gonna blame Haley when this team looks exactly like it did the past couple of years?

Crazy or not, he wasn't gonna suddenly turn Cassel into a real QB.

Haley was the only problem. Buy your season tickets now! Chiefs50.com!

Cassel doesn't know what open is.

He knows what poo poo in his undies feels like, though.

I know Cassel is the problem, I just have this reeruned homer 1% hope that Haley was the problem.

What would Cassel have to do at this point, to change the proverbial mind of CP?

I don't.

Haley absolutely needed to go.

But this team is FAR from being "fixed".

Do you want to wager? I'll bet KC scores 150 points more this season than last.

Not have to have an entire offensive game plan designed around his limitations.

I put it in another post......but the following:

1. Throw for over 4000 yards.
2. Throw for more than 30 TDs.
3. Throw less than 15 INTs.
4. Have a winning record against playoff caliber teams.
5. Come from behind and win in at least 1 game (preferably 2) all because of him.

LMAO

Charles makes a great block, looks at the guy he blocked to make sure he wasn't still going, looks downfield to see what happened with the play, realizes Cassel STILL hasn't thrown the ball, and lunges out to try to block someone else.

You have to feel sorry for some of these guys. Charles isn't going to outlast Cassel's contract.

Complete 60% of his passes and throw for at least 7 yards per attempt.

Right now, they're inversely proportional for him - the higher his completion percentage, the lower his ypa and vice versa.

Be a good QB.

What is it with people and stupid ****ing bets. The running game this year will make up at least 150 points.

A problem = yes; the problem = not so much.

Doesn't basically every NFL team design an offense around it's QB's weaknesses?

First of all, I said "last couple of years" so that would include 2010.

Even I assume they'll be better with Cassel than they were with Tyler ****ing Palko.

I know you all are getting at Cassel being hte main problem, which he is a big problem, but he's not the only problem holding this team back.

By the same token, a lot of people want to believe that HALEY was the main problem, including the people selling Chiefs tickets.

No, Cassel isn't the only problem. Neither was Haley.

This team is dysfunctional on many levels and in all likelihood, it starts right with the owner...

So are you guys thinking that Hunt told Pioli that he couldn't spend so much money?

It's been said all along he'd be the primary slot guy this season.

Hunt probably approves a budget that Pioli presents.

I bet Hunt was just on cloud nine when he saw Pioli's Patriot Way budget.

They're bestest buddies.

So, is Hunt in the NFL business to actually make money? I was of the opinion that most of these guys don't really need any more money.

Has it?

The only "evidence" for this was preseason games where Bowe was out/limited.

Been saying it for a month now: no reason for him to be on the field instead of Breaston or Baldwin.

Of course idiots here have already convinced themselves he's a better option in the passing game than Moeaki and Breaston.

I can see McCluster getting up to 90 catches. I'm thinking that we are going to see more of a rotation of receivers than we have in the past. McCluster is going to be our main slot guy, and Bowe/Breaston/Baldwin are going to rotate on the outside.

He's done more than Baldwin, at this point he should be ahead of him, right Clay?

Wide receiver by committee.

Sounds like a really good idea that will promote continuity and chemistry on the offense. :LOL:

Bowe needs to be on the field for 70% of our passing plays atleast.

70%? He's our best WR. Go higher.

I saw it in an article that he'd remain the primary guy even when Bowe returns, that is also backed up by Breaston starting. All the recievers will split time.

They have remarkably similar production as wide receivers to this point in their careers.

Baldwin is clearly a more talented player who is more of a threat downfield.

There is no ****ing way this pipsqueak should be out there in 3 wide, barring one of our actual legit talents needing a breather.

Atleast Dexter can catch.

Must save money for soccer.

Yeah, it'll really suck seeing him move the chains by making grabs on 3rd down. Will be reeeall bad for the offense and keeping the D fresh.

If he helps the team score points and win games, why is it such a big deal?

It isn't....except for people losing bets that don't care if they win or not.

People claim that Dex had a good season last year.

It sure didn't help the team score points or win games.

Didn't he score the only TD in a game we won 7 to 3?
