Spinoff: Is the Chiefs organization distancing itself from Matt Cassel?

Here's the facts:

- The Chiefs have never touched the subject of acquiring a new starting Quarterback outside of Matt before this offseason.... last week, even.

- Pioli reiterated that there "will be competition at the quarterback position. (That being said, he also said that Brodie, Thigpen, and Palko were 'competition' in the past).

- Romeo has spoken out twice in the past week about potential game changers like RG3, and Peyton Manning. He has also beat the drum for Kyle Orton and what he did last season.

- A story leaked last week regarding the Chiefs' rumored interest in acquiring Peyton Manning should he be available.

- The Chiefs interviewed the top 3 QB's at the combine (Luck, RG3, Tannehill).

- On the front page of the official Chiefs website, there is an interview with Greg Cosell, who essentially says that the Chiefs can't fully compete with Cassel at the helm. Again, this is on the Chiefs website...


Those facts considered, it appears that the organization might be attempting to untie the knot between Cassel and the starting QB spot. This is a major shift from the past. It brings to light a few questions:

1. Why?
- To win the media/public back?
- To attract/retain potential free agents that don't want to play with Cassel? (Bowe, TE's, Oline)

2 Why NOW?
- What strategic advantage does it pose to float these thoughts to the public?
- Does this hurt our case in FA or the draft, by showing our hand early?

And finally,

3. Will Pioli actually sack up and make a game-changing move?

I would hope so, but I highly doubt it.

This would totally explain Pioli's comments about Cassel being the starter.

They always do this. This is not noteworthy.

No.They're setting up the draft and everything else to "build" around Casshole as usual.Pioli will ride that trade into the ground. The end.

Yeah, but that's the same old tune he's always sung. Nothing interesting or new about that...

What I'm asking is, given all these other little variables that keep bubbling up, is there any reason to think that something different is on the horizon?

Pioli would never, ever let something like that be on the Chiefs page, or let Romeo pop off about other QB's had this been last year. Romeo isn't petrified of Scott's wrath... so does that mean he has Scott's blessing?

Romeo said nice things about his time with RGIII & gave the no brainer answer to 'what about Manning?'... not exactly 'print'em' material.

I would definitely agree that there is quite a bit a smoke rolling out of Arrowhead right now regarding qb's, moreso than years past... but to try & figure out what they're really thinking is far beyond me.

Nothing, good or bad, will surprise me this year.

I don't think it's anything you need to read in between the lines with. I hope I'm wrong, but I think Cassel is gonna be the starter again next year and there won't be much "competition."

I'm not even from Missouri but they need to show me... with action, not just words. I'm hopeful though.

Pioli has two years to save his ass. Bringing in a rookie QB throws a monkey wrench in that.

His best hope is Cassel riding a stacked team.

That, or it buys him more time, yes?
