If Cassel was 23 or 24 and was picked from a college team I would like him a whole lot better. He's just another back up or retread QB making his start for the KC Chiefs like Bono, Huard. They say 'give him a break this is his first year being a QB in Kansas City'. How many people would be pissed if we drafted a 27 year old out of college? That's basically what we did is draft a 27 year old with only one season of experience out side of high school.
He had a good season with the Patriots on a Super Bowl team. He would not have had a shot at playing that season if it wernt for Bernard Pollard taking out Tom Brady. We most likely wouldn't have even heard about Cassel if it wern't for Bernard Pollard. Cassel should wright Bernard a thank you card for getting him his shot to start.
Now then, the opening drive against Denver was very empressive. We waited all season for that. If he could do that more consistantly & move the chains on 3rd down I can learn to like him. It's going to take alot for me to trust in him however, next year he is going to be 28 and should be in his prime NO EXCUSES!! Next year he should not be treated like a rookie, he should be treated as the leader of the team, it should fall on his shoulders.
