I know everyone on CP hates Cassel.....

[Three7s]

So, after listening to Petro's weekly PMS rant about people unfairly bashing Cassel, I started wondering. What would it take for people to actually.....LIKE Cassel? I don't know if there's a thread on this or not because I'm way too lazy to go through all of the Cassel bashing threads.

FWIW, I don't think Cassel is all that great either, but he can, at least, complete a pass once in awhile, unlike guys like Campbell.

What I think would sway my feelings toward him is to do what he did against the Broncos, only when it REALLY matters. I know it would go against our offensive philosophy, but teams are stacking the box on us so much that it looks like it has to be done.......so how about you guys?

Thank you for playing.

Sure, let's strike an entire game out... Wait...
Then we'd have to do that for the rest of the league and there's a chance that he WOULDN'T be near the bottom of the NFL.

Thanks for thinking.

You are wrong there brock. Girlbac was always a waste of O2.

His ego was the only thing on him that made headlines. He was about 1/4 as good as he thought.

Nobody should listen to you. Your ability to judge talent is lacking more than obama lacks the ability to lead the country. Maybe you should be a community organizer.

5-4 record and #9 on the top 10 list of QB's in the league. Shitty? I suggest that your opinion falls short of being accurate.

If you actually watch the games and still think he's anything more than barely backup material you're blind.

year 2 into a rebuild they are nit picking a program and players that are both showing progress from year 1 to year 2.

Then I agree, the people are talking on emotions and not in reality.

In reality Cassel is in the top 10. In reality the Chiefs are better now than they have been in at least the last 2 years and maybe as many as 5 years.

I do disagree with the 2nd year of the rebuild. Cassel is in his second year with the Chiefs but he is working with his third offensive coordinator. Gailey, Haley and now Weis.

Well I certainly had Tyler ****ing Thigpen pegged, as he was summarily shipped off to Miami to rot as a third stringer.

I admit I was initially wrong about Cassel but I've changed my tune now that it's obvious what he was.

You, on the other hand, seem to suck off any quarterback that comes along.

First Thigpen, now Cassel.

Great track record, Tom.

Dude, that wasn't a game.

After it was 35-0 it turned into a scrimmage.

Cassel's YPA will dip back near 6.5 before the year is up. Guaranteed.

Considering we don't have anyone on the team better it would be hard to think anything different.

Apparently you haven't been watching the games. There is improvement. IIRC he has fewer sacks than most QB's in the league and fewer interceptions than most.

I don't claim he is the second coming of Joe Montana in his prime, but he is certainly not the piece of shit that most here seem to think he is.

The only thing top 10 about Cassel is his contract. It's almost as bad as McNabb's new one.

He's horrible. HE IS THE ENTIRE REASON we will not win a playoff game. Not this year, not next year, not the year after.

I bet if we signed Jeff George you'd tell us how awesome he is now too.

First, you are the one doing all of the sucking.

Thigpen played better than any of the QB's we had on the team when he was promoted. Cassel is not as bad as you want him to be.

Your ability to judge talent in the NFL is only slightly better than your online dating success. 0.001

You would lose that bet, but don't let facts deter you.

Cassel is not as bad as you think. What are you going to do if he does happen to get the Chiefs into the playoffs? or further?

Basically my point is that none of the people proclaiming to know what is going on doesn't have a clue. If they did I'm sure they wouldn't sitting their ass talking shit on the internet.
