the Chiefs win one or more games in the playoffs, is Cassel still crap?

the Chiefs make it to the Super Bowl this year and Cassel wins MVP. Is he still crap?

What if he continues to blow chunks?

Guess where the smart money is?

Then the front office and Haley will take care of the situation. Nothing said here will have an impact on it.

BUT, you are totally discounting that he may have the tools and they are just not being used by Weis and Haley.

You're only hoping that they do.

We have no way of knowing their level of competency.

There are umpteen BILLION examples of idiot general managers and head coaches sticking with lousy quarterbacks.

The Chiefs were ready to commit to Tyler ****ing Thigpen if Carl and Herm had been retained. The Redskins just gave a stupid contract to McNabb.

It's pretty clear Cassel can return the Chiefs to mediocrity. Will Pioli throw that away for a chance at a real quarterback when he has so much money and reputation invested in the success of the one he just picked?

We'll see. This decision is going to define Pioli.

According to GoChiefs. Not really someone that seems to have anything in perspective regarding the administration of the Chiefs.

Cassel can RETURN the Chiefs to mediocrity? When in the past 5 years have we risen to the level of mediocrity? Have you missed the fact that the Chiefs have sucked since Vermeil left? At least this year they are wining games based on who is here now and not who was leftover as with the first year of Edwards. That 9-7 year was totally the leftovers, Herman had little or nothing to do with the Chiefs going to the playoffs that year and since then we have been the joke of the AFC.

As for your comments about "umpteen BILLION examples of idiot general managers", that goes against any kind of common sense. Can you name one time that Pioli has been defined in that manner? That is just not a comparison that should even be considered with this GM.

You don't really know what Thigpen could have done with a decent team around him, maybe he would have been a bust but that is a total unknown. He was more effective than anyone that played QB for the Chiefs the year he had playing time.
