As for the Chiefs, they don't make that move if there's any question about who's going to be the starter come September. This isn't rookie versus veteran, they have a season of NFL tape on both guys. They made their choice, they chose their guy, and it's Cassel.

Or they chose to risk a 2nd round pick rather than a 1st round for an even bigger risk from Stafford or Sanchez and decided to provide real competition to the most important position on a football team kind of like the Patriots like to do at every position on their roster???
No one knows but again like I said you are probably right about Cassell but I hope that they did give Thigpen a fair and thorough review before deciding that there will be no competition for the job.
As to your 1st paragraph that is a fair enough opinion and very well could have been true.
