FT Daily: Chiefs rebuilding doesn't guarantee Cassel a job

Posted by Mike Florio on March 11, 2010 1:37 PM ET
Last month, Rosenthal pointed out some stuff about the contract given last year to Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel.

Bottom line? He might only have one more year to turn things around.

And there are some interesting alternatives available, if Cassel can't improve in 2010. For more, we give you PFT Daily.

The way his contract is structured,we can let him go after this year if he sucks ass AGAIN,without it being a massive cap hit.IMO he never should have been the QB brought into a organization that was rebuilding.Usually when you "rebuild" it's because you suck,and you need new players all over the field.It'll take $150 million to put the players around Cassel to make him a good QB so they should cut their losses ASAP.Basically he was a $28(60) million version of Tyler Thigpen.IMO.

Earth shattering. If the Chiefs take Clausen, it would be a signal that they might not be happy with Cassel. WOW. Next he will tell me that if KC drafts Berry then McGraw might not start all 16 games next year.

I refuse to believe KC would pull the the trigger on Clausen.Mainly cause that would be a huge sign that Pisoli is in fact not GOD.I figure they'll sit on Cassel for another year,let Weis tudor him and see if he can make him play better.I've give up on KC drafting and developing our own QB.

I am not actually sold on Clausen as a potential franchise QB, and drafting him, in and of itself, would very liklely be another move I'd consider a mistake by Pioli.

However, drafting Clausen would also serve to show that Pioli is a stubborn ass who clings to his mistakes.

At the end of the day, however, I'd rather have him make that kind of move next year, when there should be an actual franchise QB available in the draft.

Wouldn't drafting Clausen be an admission by Pioli that (after a full season of evaluation) Cassel was a mistake?

And wouldn't that make Pioli someone that is NOT stubborn and does NOT cling to his mistakes?

The truth is that none of know what we're dealing with in the new regime just yet whether it be Haley, Pioli, Crennel or Weis. People may like to think they do but their still a lump of clay being molded into a collective group that will be making decisions together. No one will have a single say and there's not enough of a sample pool to predict their future decisions especially with Haley and Pioli because they're in new positions.

No, I don't know, you don't know, none of do. Deal with reality even here on the intraweb every now and then.

Yup.

Don't ask me why but it seemed like as Charles turned it up he played worse. Makes no sense but he was less and less impressive.
