Matt Cassel made one NFL throw in that Atlanta game.

The other throws that you are talking about were not bad throws, which is good for Matt Cassel.

I made a conscious effort this past weekend to watch Brady and Manning throw the ball. Both I believe had over 300 yards passing and a TD or two.


While they did throw the occasional deep ball, or deep out, it's not like these star Qb's aren't throwing it short or intermediate. They aren't chucking it deep time and time again.

The difference is, they put it in spots where their playmakers can make plays. Get it to Bowe in the open field in front of him where he can run. Dude's a monster. Same with Jamaal. Get it to him on some set up screens where they are developed correctly. Breaston, Baldwin, Draughn, Gray, whoever.

Why don't you look up EVERY ****ING POST I MADE THIS OFFSEASON.

Yeah, but Brady Quinn didn't do shit last week that Cassel hasn't done.

Sitting here and saying QUINN'S 3 PASSES WERE TEH AWESOME is BS.

Too late, they already look stupid.

Quinn has more fumbles than career starts.

Wow, you predicted that Matt Cassel would suck.

This is brand new information.

I want Quinn to succeed, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't still fire pioli and draft geno smith.

Nice flip ya flopper.

The 3 passes that Quinn threw weren't awesome, except in relation to Cassel passes.

Two of them were lasers, something that Cassel can not throw, that were on the mark.

His one pass that was off the mark, was only slightly thrown behind the receiver.

I don't expect Quinn to light things up, but I do expect you to know that there was a visible difference between Cassel's ducks and Quinn's passes.

In his defense Milk, it's not something thats rated on PFF.

I want Quinn to succeed but still suck, if that makes any sense. I ****ing want Geno. We deserve Geno. If we end up with the #1 pick and Pioli passes on Geno Smith i will take a 3 day dump on the sidewalk of One Arrowhead Drive.

LMAO

Just like Cassel when he first got here LMAO

No...he didn't.

No his point is that Cassel looked like our best QB in preseason.

I don't care about the velocity of the passes.

Cassel can hit receivers running those same routes. He hits that 15-yard dig to Bowe all the time.

Quinn did nothing Cassel didn't do, except throw the ball harder.

Quite frankly, on that checkdown for 0 yards he looked like a scared pussy just like Cassel.

Ditto.

Is Quinn's upside Matt Schaub, but more handsome?

The only thing I'll say is Quinn was a 1st rd pick unlike Cassel. Quinn's had 9 games, meanwhile Cassel has had about 4 years. Who knows man. If Quinn turns out good then awesome draft a young kid too in the 1st to cover our bases

Quinn's upside is Sanchez but more ripped.

His upside is Kyle Boller.

JFC, just stop. On the 2 passes to Bowe, Quinn made a quick read to a receiver who was covered, then checked over to Bowe and hit the open guy. He went to his second read a few seconds faster than Cassel ever did. On the 3rd and long situation, it sure looked to me like a conservative play call. It had nothing to do with shitting his pants.

It's only 3 plays. But don't trivialize them. He threw 2 very good passes, and completed another 2 that looked like conservative play calls.

LMAO

So Cassel has never thrown to his 2nd read?

Come on.

Quinn did nothing Cassel hasn't done.

Clays now a cassel lover

Cassel hits the bench, and you are still negative Nancy.
When was the last time you were optimistic about anything on this team?

I don't know how often Quinn does/will but lets not pretend like Cassel is anywhere near pro level at going through reads. Relative to even average QBs, Cassel never goes to a 2nd guy. Unless you want to count the check down as the second guy.

Best QB ever, guys?

Everything else was garbage. A checkdown, a horribly thrown screen pass, a 5-yard dump to a wide open Bowe that got called back.

Quinn threw to a second read that wasn't a check down. Twice. And within the first few seconds of his progression.

Those are two unimpressive accomplishments. Yet something Cassel has done a handful of times. You're really reaching to undermine Quinn by trying to pretend Cassel does things he never did before.

Nothing wrong with it except it basically keeps things status quo for another year.

Why the **** should I be?

We have been fail for 21 games.

Yeah Matt's got the ability to make that throw

Your forgetting the throw he had to Bowe for the called back TD. It was a decent throw. :D

The check down and screen pass looked like conservative play calls to me.

The other two passes were very good. Stop trying to undermine them. In the play you posted there in particular, he looks right, sees an open check down, and yet still decides to go for Bowe downfield. It was a very good play that Cassel would have never completed because he would have thrown to the check down every single time.

So now any pass a qb completes to an open we doesn't count? Man Freeman's gonna have it really tough

LMAO

Not all true, i have seen Cassel hit Bowe like that before, and yes on the rare occasion Cassel has went through progressions before.

Within 3 seconds, Brady went through 3 reads. And he ignored a wide open check down -- Cyrus Gray was wide open for a quick 3 yard pass that could have been extended to a first down.

Cassel has gone through progressions. But he will always take a check down when it's open. And his progressions tend to be him looking at his primary read for a few seconds, then shifting to his second target.

Quinn twice did something in 4 passes that Cassel usually did not do in 4 years.

Wow.

Good lord, we may have found our Tom Brady.

This place is a great sample of why Pioli won't be fired after the year. Yeah you're all pissed but now pretending like Quinn is a potentially good QB. All Scott has to do is draft a QB in the first round and all will be forgiven.

It was a nice play by Quinn.

No, it wasn't.

Bowe was wide the **** open over the middle.

It was a 5-yard throw.

Tyler Palko could have hit it.

I don't give a shit what Quinn does. Pioli is gone no matter what

Well if Pioli is fired it would be before the draft so if his job is saved it won't be from that. I do agree that if he drafts a QB he will quit a lot of the fans. Hell, I have said from the beginning that if he had a decent QB it would cover some of his mistakes. Really, if you only care about saving your job you should get a good QB so he can cover up other holes in your team.

Wrong. Not just any QB in the first round, and its example not sample. LMAO

Or trade for Mallet.

/Forever 9-7

I'm on my phone and it does auto text.

Yes any QB. FFS you all are pretending like Brady Quinn is good.

You underestimate the suck that was Palko. Huard would have made that throw no problem though. :D

That was fun. Good post.

He only cares about Cassel and his Patriot friends. He'll **** up drafting a QB too.

You all? What do you mean you all? WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ALL? LMAO

Who said he was good.

Everyone is saying he's going to be better than Cassel, which is like bragging that I beat my grandma in a race.

Fixed

I am not claiming otherwise. I am just saying that he won't save his job with drafting a QB. His job will be decided upon prior to the draft.

He's worse than Cassel and that's saying something. Who signed him?

The bar is low. And Quinn has not had enough starts to prove he can pass that bar. JFC, he played in 12 games behind a supporting cast that was shittier than shitty.

I don't think it's a bold prediction to say he can do better than a QB who struggled in a coddled situation behind a strong supporting cast.

As hope it is all well for Quinn. Hope that he will do well is all that we can ask for.

This. With all the supporting cast, anyone I believe can do better than casshole.

ROFL

He hasn't started a game since 2009. He's been beat out by Derek Anderson, Kyle Orton, Tim Tebow, and Matt Cassel. He was barely better than Ricky Stanzi in the pre season.

"With this supporting cast we can go 9-7 or 10-6 with Matt Cassel"

Most of Chiefsplanet this off season.

What the **** is your point? You said you will take any QB in the first round come next draft. Landry Jones say's thank you.

Laundry Jones isn't a first round QB you unrealistic ****.

I'll take any QB he new GM drafts.

You make no sense. First you say Jones is not a first round QB, then you say you will take any QB. Which ****ing one is it dumbass, and you have no idea if Jones will go in the first round or not. Tannahill did so **** off.

ROFL Tannahill? You mean Tannehill? The guy I wanted the Chiefs to trade up for?

It's pretty obvious to me you are the one with no idea.

Ya i mean Tannehill shitstain.

I really don't care. The only one of those situations that wasn't politically charged was Kyle Orton, who ended up being a productive QB for the Broncos. We are not sitting here and expecting him to be Tom Brady. We're saying he will be better than Cassel. And yes, he will be better than Cassel. It's not a high bar to set.

No, that throw looks a lot like Orton... but its atleast good enough to give us a GLIMPSE of what is possible.

Losing for Luck, not gonna do it, cant do it, cant win with those guys, we can trade up bigtime or luck out Brady style... anything but suck shit all year, the hell with that.

Savvy?

BTW Landry Jones has twice as many yards and TD's in his college career than Tannehill ever had. But you knew Tannehill was a first round QB and Jones is not. You have no ****ing clue.

Landry Jones will not be a productive NFL player. Guaranteed.

You have no ****ing clue, n00b.

Landry Jones is a ****ing joke and IMO, a likely 4th rounder.

Under pressure, the guy couldn't hit the broad side of a broad.

Not saying he will or will not be. I'm pointing out Billays dumbassery about Jones not being a first round QB, yet he wanted to trade up for Tannehill who was taken in the first round. If Tannehill was a first round QB then why the **** would Jones not be considered a first round prospect.

Reading the ****ing post's before you post is hard shit.

Excuse me, Meat?

And it's "posts", not "post's".

Dumbass.

Clearly, football and grammar aren't your strong suit.

Ok. Thank you for the English lesson. Dick

He won't be considered a 1st round prospect due to the concerns Dane expressed IMO. He struggles with progressions, relies on checkdowns, and has poor pocket awareness. Additionally, he is the opposite of clutch and rarely rises to the occasion, if ever.

Tannehill's physical attributes were much better than Jones as well, IMO. Additionally, you did see flashes from Tannehill against elite competition. I wasn't a huge fan of Tannehill so I'm not going to go all Wendler on you and pretend I am now.

However, Billay is right IMO that Jones will not be a 1st rounder, especially if he continues on his current projections.

God it would be awesome if by somehow someway Quinn turned into a franchise qb this year. But im not getting my hopes up.

Im sure the gameplan calls for another 50 rushes and 8 passes in the first half

I'm not going to defend the guy but I think it's unfair to say he was "beaten out" by Orton and, Tebow, Stanzi or Cassel. He was stuck in unwinnable situations in each scenario.

To be completely honest, I have absolutely no idea if the guy has the talent to be an NFL starter and I doubt that given his shitty luck, anyone else does, either.

We'll ALL have a better idea on Sunday but I'm not going to bash the guy until I actually see him, you know, play.
