You can keep blaming everyone but Cassel, or you can look at last year, when he was surrounded by the best offense of this decade.
Approximately 3500 yards, 20 TD's / 11INT's and a QB rating under 90.
With 57% of his passing yardage coming from YAC - the next closest was 52% - and for comparison's sake, the Top 5 passers (yardage) last year were 47%, 47%, 41% and 40%.
So even under near perfect conditions, he still doesn't rate as a franchise QB.
Also, Cassel is what, 28 years old?
How long do you think it would take to accumulate the amount of offensive talent he played with in NE?
Probably 5 years, maybe more, because you'll lose players to FA, retirement, etc.
I'd absolutely love to be proven wrong on this, for the guy to become a legit franchise QB and win a SB in KC. Nothing could make me happier.
But personally, I don't think the kid has the talent, nor the leadership skills to even win a playoff game.
And unlike others here, I've been consistent on this stance since before we traded for him.
