Hmm, I thought.
Yes.
Yes, they are. Cassel had 6 touchdowns and 21 turnovers in NINE GAMES. How hard do you think the defense was playing when they would force a punt, then Cassel turns the ball over on his own 15 yard line?
I think that Alex Smith is going to make an insane difference in this team's ability to compete on both sides of the ball. It isn't that I am optimistic about Alex Smith - it's that I concretely believe that we have watched a guy not talented enough to be a starting BCS QB try to play professionally for four years.
When we have just a legitimate - not a great, not outstanding... legitimate - QB under center, this team is going to be unrecognizable from the dumpster fire we have watched since ***** took over.

4 year rebuild post Herms 2008 picks
4 more years to rebuild those 4 years
8 years of wasting Herms talent evaluation
Bang up job Chiefs football
