The point is...
Pioli knows what he has in Cassel. He gushed over him in his intro PC. He's not paying the type of compensation that was required to obtain his services (16 million this year, plus a 2nd rounder) unless he KNEW he was going to be the starter.
They watched Tyler Thigpen tape. They saw what most of us saw. An erratic QB, who couldn't make adjustments. I shutter to think what defenses will do to him next year when they have about 10 games of tape to study.
This is NFL economics. It has nothing to do with whether I want the best player starting. It has everything to do with you don't tie up large contracts on bench players.

I stated earlier, if you look back it the thread, that if Cassell can't win the starting job from Thigpen he shouldn't be the starter. I'm not a fan of any player but an fan of the Chiefs as a team. The right 53.
