Cassel is a long way from being a franchise QB right now.

1.) Cassel week#1 was not the same as Cassel week #16, the defense was decimated by injuries, the offensive line didn't start to play well until after Neal came off of PUP and Gaffney dropped a touchdown pass that would have put the team in the playoffs at 12-4.
2.) The Patriots were beating the Steelers and controlling the game until Moss dropped an easy touchdown catch. The game changed from there.
I don't pretend to be sure that Cassel will be the answer for the Chiefs, but some of the arguments against the guy are just silly.
