Fixing The Passing Game

[FAX]

Obviously, we have issues in this area. Our quarterback is a sluggish dolt with no talent and a giant chin. Our receivers are (by many accounts) unable to separate from their respective defenders. Our play caller seems to be intent on perfecting the 4 yard incompletion. And, apparently, hitting McCluster in the flat is a play designed to make McCluster flat.

So, how do we fix the problem? Cassel isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so replacing the quarterback seems to be out of the question, our TE is going to find himself triple covered in upcoming games, and we don't have Sippio anymore.

I know that ChiefsPlanet can do this ... what is necessary to get a damn passing game established?

Put Thigpen in that Ferrari offense (NE 08) and one would have to think he would have surpassed those numbers by a mile.

Cassel sucks man.

I would argue that Bowe isn't a #1 type receiver and the loss of TG has has as much of an effect as Cassel sucking.

TG is the only reason Huard and company put up decent numbers to Bowe.

I'm surprised you didn't use your theme for the 2010 season "Clausen at #5" in this thread

Tough to argue against BossChief's case. Don't forget to mention that there would be a $62 million savings with Thigpen over Cassel. Hmmm. Seems like some nice weapons could have been obtained for that dough.
