Romeo on Cassel
 

Matt Cassel - QB - Chiefs

Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel threw his support behind Matt Cassel at his introductory press conference Monday.
Crennel was also noncommittal on Kyle Orton's return, acknowledging Orton's free agent status and saying he "appreciated" Orton's late-season performance in 2011. "Matt Cassel has won here," said Crennel. "We've been to a playoff with Matt Cassel. I don't think Matt Cassel has fallen off the wagon overnight. I think he's a good talent, he's a good quarterback, and he's taken us to a playoff. I anticipate that he can do it again."

Q

Welp..... . http://cdn.pimpmyspace.org/media/pms...l/d34fc96f.gif

LMAO. Might one to copyright this, oh limericked one.

I'm more concerned with whether or not a QB will be taken in Round 1.
If so, I can live with Cassel for one more year.

What did you expect him to say in his introductory press conference? That Cassel sucks, and he is going to pursue another starter? He said what he had to say and hopefully he talks Pioli into pursuing another QB option.

Romeo.....Oh Romeo......why hast thou forsaken me....errr.....yeah.

Yeah, if Cassel is back ill be dissapointed big time. It will just take the steam out of EVERYONE that roots for the Chiefs.

Strike eleventybillion.

Prepare to be disappointed lol

Exactly why i didnt support the interim tagged removed get ready for another year of shit football and saying well theres always next year...

and we see why Fisher didnt want anything to do with the Chiefs.

Cassel as the QB?
LMAO

Matt ****ing Cassel, really JFC. I would rather run 100% wildcat with Javier Arenas. ****, I would rather punt on first down than have Matty behind center.

jesus ****in tebowing christ!

**** me

You may be on to something.

I need a new kitten.

Welp time to cancel NFLST, I have seen how this ends and it isnt pretty...

As long as Muir is gone I can stand him for another year and someone that can play-call and game plan...

well, It's Time for Romeo ta go. LMAO

This really doesn't mean shit.
You always endorse players on your roster. Definitely not going to bash a guy if you're going to try and get ANYTHING in return for him.

Man I hope you are right.

Meow... Meow.LMAO

You commit to Cassel and I'll say **** you to this team until both him and Pioli are fired.

You know deep down in your gut that when next season comes along that shitty ass QB Matt Cassel is going to be starting. I dont see how you cant think that. This team just does everything wrong. Tries to be different and it doesnt work.

ima sick .. already ......

i thought Romeo would shoot straight from the hip and tell it like it is,"This Team Needs A QB".
he's nothing more than a Pioli ass kisser.

Et tu, Romeo? Et tu?

wow... nice. The more things change...

That would be idiotic if his plan is to try and unload him.

Unload him?

who would give a plug nickel for Matt Cassel? LMAO

Guess all of the "bye Cassel " mother****ers can eat shit now.

i thought Cassel broke his finger and landed on IR?

Never underestimate desperate organizations. Someone would give up something for Cassel.

What did the Romeosexuals expect? Fat Scott wanted a puppet HC who would go with Cassel... Romeo fits that profile.

Jeff Fisher wanted to go to a team with a legit QB and probably laughed in Fat Scott's blubber-filled face at the idea of keeping Cassel.

maybe,



when pigs fly.

This will be resolved as soon as free agency starts, thankfully.

Either we resign Orton, or we spend two years in the 10th circle of hell, the one created specifically for Chiefs fans.

Meh. I didn't think RAC came off as a Cassel supporter. The press were asking several questions about the QB situation, and someone asked if he could win with Cassel. That's when he said, somewhat indignantly, that we have won with Cassel.

To RAC's point, I don't think he's concerning himself with a QB that isn't under contract when the team has two that are.

But I didn't expect him to come out and shoot down Cassel from the get go. Hopefully that's what happens over the summer, but I didn't expect it to happen in his first press conference.

First press conference you say all of your players are good. He has to say Cassel is capable of leading the team to the playoffs. You show uncertainty about Orton until he signs a new agreement because you don't want his price to go up.

Heck, even though I would look to sack Cassel if I were the HC, I would have said the same thing at my first conference. It is what is expected. It is diplomatic. It portrays a positive image. So, don't read into it any more than that. This is especially true given that we do not draft high enough to get a decent QB, and there are no decent free agents unless the Colts cut Manning. So, we may be stuck with him until Stanzi is ready or we find another solution (e.g. Orton or another late round pick).

OMG that pic almost made me piss myself

Go Broncos!

well if he dont have the Balls to make a change at QB he wont be the HC for long.

Cassel's house.

That reference doesn't even make sense. That Maiden song is about a hooker.

LMAO
i'm staying home then.

I wouldn't expect a coach to say anything different. No coach is going to throw a QB under the bus, they need to be seen as leaders. His comments on Orton showed that he would pick Orton over Cassel if given the opportunity, and Orton wasn't even that good.

I've been hired by Joe Gibbs to race on his team... only problem is he wants me to drive a Chevette. I think I could win but it's going to require a lot of wrecks.

What exactly have we won with Cassel, RAC?

I'll tell you.

18 regular season games in THREE ****ing years.

One thing RAC is right about?

Matt Cassel didn't fall off the wagon overnight.

The problem is that these ****tards haven't realized he was never ON the ****ing wagon.

Carl and Herm react to today's press conference.

You left out the part where he said "If Orton were under contract I'd have a bigger situation here."

His whole point during the press conference was that Cassel and Stanzi are the QB's we have under contract right now. He never implied he wouldn't try to bring in more competition one way or another, and I don't think that him saying positive things about the only QB we have on the roster means he's being a Pioli puppet.

As I've said before, if he's given nobody but Cassel and Stanzi to compete then I'll be pretty pissed, but i don't think that'll be on Romeo. He's been indirect, but pretty obvious about the fact that he wasn't happy with the QB's on this team leaving his defense on the field so much.

Especially when he is the focal point of the guy that just gave you the job, that you REALLY wanted.

He needs some time to change things, but on this day, had to be politically correct to an extent.

You could tell he was a little frustrated with the questions, as he thought he was going to get some love.

I know that RC knows Cassel sucks, and I don't think for one minute, he is going to let Cassel cost him this job.

Don't think I'll be paying for NFL ticket next year then. I think I'll do more fishing.

Why would he expect anything? He's part of a franchise that hasn't won shit in ages.

I don't care how many rings he has - none of them say "Chiefs" on the side and until they do, he better get to work.

it's what i was listening to when i replied, it's about Charlotte the Harlot
i dont care if it made sense or not.

:thumb:

I think in and of itself these comments aren't that big of a deal. You don't get hired and then come in a rip a player your boss brought in. Even in the perfect world where Romeo and Pioli have agreed Matt isn't good enough Romeo is not going to come out and rip him.

The problem I have is that, like many, the fear of Cassel is so big that any positive comments about him make me want to cry. We are going to have to wait for moments like Free Agency and the Draft to know where this organization is going with the QB. Odds are Cassel will be our starter and that makes me sick. I do think, however, that Romeo is not the biggest Cassel fan. I just hope that helps in some way.

I would expect nothing else from a new head coach. What would you want him to do? Pull a Josh McDaniels and come out letting everyone know that you are looking to replace your starting QB? That worked out so well for the Donks.

Well crap. 3 more years of crap.

Nah, only two. Romeo and Pioli will ride off into the failset together.

Oh good, only two years. I love this team. Can't wait until things are tried to be done about our QB when all our good players are 32 years old.

Pioli = King Carl II - hire yes men only:thumb:

This is actually a great hire.

It's a Pioli yes man who will trot Matt Cassel out there to be the shitty qb that he is and all will be gone in 2 years.

And if he doesn't do that, we get a new qb. It's win win.

Yep. And then the rebuild begins. LMAO

Scott Pioli, the supposed Gm of the century or decade or whatever, is hitching his career on a backup quarterback that didn't even play the position in college and over the past three years has ranked in the bottom of every passing stat in the league.


Damn you B. Pollard, damn you.

well ****

If you count watching a talented team suck for two years as a win. Or the assumption that the replacement of Pioli will actually find us a real QB in time to win with this roster. We can afford our current stars, but when our young guys become stars as well we won't be able to afford all of them together.

They just won a playoff game 18 hours ago.

We haven't won one in 18 YEARS.

HAHA VINDICATION~!!

This is much ado about nothing right now. Could be honest (and, to be fair, working under Pioli is strong evidence that it could be), or it could be akin to a GM giving the "fatal endorsement" of a coach. Wait an judge on actions, not words. There's no choice but to do so with the owner/GM we have.

This is GREAT news. Now that we have the qb situation resolved we can move on to the other important positions.

Yep, once we sign Orton and cut Cassel, Romeo wont have to worry about any qb stuff.
