There are two other options I'd prefer for our BACKUP position.
-Sign a vet.
-Draft our own guy.

Cassel's fine as a backup. That's what he is, and his salary drops to a reasonable amount for one. I think he's toxic and will ultimately be cut, and I'm fine with that. I'm great with that.

But giving up a pick for someone else's trash for our backup?

Yeah, no.

No player is every worth more than they were drafting for
Any can't be worth more than his draft or they wouldn't be trading him

people around here are so pissed it's made them stupid, they can't understand any words but "Draft Geno ... derp,derp,derp" They refuse to even understand "Draft Geno Smith AND .... " because their brains just shut down after Smith.

"Let's just go into next year with only 1 QB on the roster. Geno Smith can throw every pass in TC,Preseason and Regular season ... if his arm falls off then just **** it we will let Charles run the wildcat because are not playing a single QB besides Geno Smith this year ... derp,derp,derp"

This is just like people suggesting trading a 2nd round pick for Cousins. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? Why trade draft value for guys that don't hold that much value?

If you want to trade for a backup, fine. We need a backup QB. But don't overpay. It's that simple.

yeah, that's right, but i'm interested in being a serious contributor here

if i'm still posting and you guys are ok with that in a couple months i pledge to change my user name if that helps everyone


redundant info: i've posted this a couple times but just to get it out there for sure, i'm overseas and one of my closest friends/colleagues is another American from Kansas, went to KU, huge Chiefs and Jayhawk fan ; SO, we take an interest in each other's teams and this AR coincidence and me on the Eagle message board brought me here

On the other hand, which world is this where "Cassel's fine as a backup?" I can't COMPREHEND how anybody would even trust cassel to test toilets because he craps his pants so often, much less be our backup.

Agreed. Even if that means bringing him in at a higher pick. But I doubt Philly would make this kind of a move.

As for Cassel as a backup, why in the world would we pay $7.5M for him to be a backup? There are more talented veterans out there. I still wonder if the Chiefs will look into Kolb (as a backup). Not saying that's a great decision, but it wouldn't surprise me if the Cards cut ties with him and there's the obvious Reid connection. I feel like he could be had at a high-priced veteran contract.
