Brady Quinn poised for more Kansas City Chiefs snaps

Teammates of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel reportedly are losing confidence in him following another rocky outing in Sunday's loss to the San Diego Chargers. The coaching staff might not be far behind.

Coach Romeo Crennel admitted Monday that Brady Quinn could pick up some first-team snaps in practice this week. Crennel broached the idea of benching Cassel at some point, even if only for a drive.

"You pull him out, put somebody else in, let him settle down and maybe he goes back in," Crennel said. "As a coach, you get a feeling about whether he's making good decisions, poor decisions ... those kind of things all kind of play into it."

Cassel has 10 turnovers on the season, so he has made a lot of poor decisions. Cassel is not the type of playmaker, like Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, who can make up for many mistakes.

"At some point, as a coach, you go through and you see what's happening in the game and how a guy is reacting and how he's responding to what's happening in the game," Crennel said. "If you feel he's inept, constantly making poor decisions, bad choices, then that's when you move on from him and give someone else a chance."

The Chiefs' home crowd chanted for No. 3 quarterback Ricky Stanzi on Sunday. Crennel can only hope that's the low point of the season. We aren't likely to see Stanzi anytime soon, but it sounds like we're another bad Cassel performance away to getting the Brady Quinn experience.

Weren't there reports last week that Quinn was taking first team snaps?

It said he was taking snaps, I still don't remember it saying he was taking snaps WITH THE ONES.

Or Stanzi.

I don’t mind the stink as much when the aroma changes from time to time.

Start stanzi. That ****er has been doing nothing & collecting a paycheck for 2 years now.

Throw him off the dock & make him learn to swim.

I like the way you put it. I'm in.

I dont want him to get "some snaps", make the change or dont, laying out a tease rumor like that means less than nothing.

Move on 100% past castle or dont even bother, give Quinn his last shot in the bigs and if he sucks (again) let Stanzi have his first chance, and if they all suck, thats just fine... all the more reason for major change.

Ideally, bringing in Quinn would symbolize the end of the Cassel era, a complete loss of confidence. Therefore we bring in Quinn to try to salvage the season before it is lost for good.

If Quinn fails to deliver, and loses say all 4 games he plays, we don't go back to Cassel. The season is lost, we'd be 1-9 or 2-8 by that point. Putting Cassel in to save face would be the worst thing a team could do, there is literally no point.

You either stick with Quinn and hope it clicks by the end of the year, or you give your young developmental QB a 6 game audition. Stanzi would HAVE to see the field.

This is what I'm hoping for. The way I see it playing out is, Cassel is gone. Period. After that, Quinn probably fails. Then, Stanzi gets to sink or swim. At the very least, he gains valuable experience which would make him a viable backup option to a rookie 1st round QB. At best, he might get to compete with a rookie first round QB.

Well, if he sees a few snaps or series before the bye week, you can take that as trying to prime him to take over after the bye if Cassel doesn't improve. Kinda of a jump start so he doesn't go in completely cold.

Get him acclimated, then give him a full 2 weeks to prepare to take over for Cassel.
