Chiefs just got Cassel, ON NFLN!

Quote:

The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Saturday that the club has acquired QB Matt Cassel and LB Mike Vrabel from New England in exchange for the Chiefs second-round pick (34th overall) in the 2009 NFL Draft. The agreement is contingent on both players reporting and passing their physicals.

“I have a long history with both players,” said Kansas City Chiefs General Manager Scott Pioli. “Mike and Matt are men that I respect both personally and professionally. I look forward to having them as new members of the Chiefs family.”

Some context:

I made this post at the Turdalition shortly after the New England game this year. Until tonight, I had completely and utterly forgotten it.
A day or two before, we were discussing Quarterbacks. I hypothesized that if we were to get a new QB in the face of a Croyle disaster, it would be better to try and find another teams somewhat proven backup( ala Gannon )as opposed to drafting a rookie.

Proclamation:
Ye shall now bear witness to the Greatest Self-Zing in the entire History of the Electronic Football Forum.
Has it ever been matched? NO!
Will it ever be topped? NO!

ENJOY!

Foreshadowing the 2010 draft.

Other than that, nothing.

Whatever happened to Clark Hunt saying that if we wanted to compete for a championship we had to draft and develop our own franchise quarterback?

That was with Herm. Herm believed in drafting a developing every position, including the QB. He took one in the third round the first year he was here. He looked closely at Matt Ryan a couple years ago, and it would have been interesting to see what happened if the Falcons took Dorsey. It was my opinion that the Chiefs would have taken Ryan. Again, just my opinion.

If he were still with the Chiefs last offseason, I imagine that he would have thought hard about Sanchez.

Since then, Clark has a three time Super Bowl winning GM, who has hired two three time Super Bowl winning coordinators, and a head coach that has been to the Super Bowl. I expect him to consider their advice above reproach.

i'm not going back to read this whole thread but i'll just say this:

There was nothing at all wrong with trading a 2nd round pick for Cassel/Vrabel. It brought some experience,leadership and character to the transition period of changing the coaches etc. The problem was giving Cassel the huge contract before he had played a single down as a Chief. The problem was committing so wholeheartedly to cassel with no room for a backup plan.

Trade for Cassel/Vrabel
don't give him a new contract the 1st year
draft a QB/acquire another QB/have a backup plan

actually even giving the big contract is not a monumental mistake AS LONG as they draft a QB next year and cut bait with Cassel(assuming he continues to suck).

next year Cassel is gone for Jake Locker(or whomever)
next year Vrabel is gone for Studebaker

if so then it was a decent enough return for a 2nd rounder all things considered.
