If you do that, and he fails, then you know with absolute certainty that he isn't the guy, and I want to know that as soon as possible.

I think if you're a QB and you have two receivers who could be excellent, an excellent receiving tight end, and 1 or 2 backs out of the backfield who are very effective with screens, and you still claim you need an all-world receiver, you've got problems.
If the Chiefs field a top 5 defense, a top 5 running game, and the QB can't win games (even with 3 very good receivers), then we're doomed no matter what. I agree that without good QB play, we're fighting an uphill battle. The problem is, with your scenario, we're putting all our eggs in Cassel's basket. At least with my scenario, you can protect a bad or young QB (see Sanchez) if you choose to develop one, and you may even be able to protect an average QB into the Super Bowl. In my scenario, even if you lose Cassel, the Chiefs have a chance to quickly turn things around.
