Chiefs Peter King on Cassel

**chiefforlife** · 01-09-2012, 11:32 AM

Matt Cassel - QB - Chiefs

SI's Peter King expects Matt Cassel to return to the Chiefs in 2012.
Cassel is owed $5.25 million in base salary in 2012. Before landing on injured reserve with a hand injury following Week 10, he was a below-average NFL quarterback. Cassel posted a 10:9 TD-to-INT ratio and averaged just 190.3 passing yards per game. After new coach Romeo Crennel finds an offensive coordinator, he should turn his attention to finding competition for Cassel.

Rather he should convince Pioli to draft one come April and to retain Orton.

BELOW AVERAGE QB.

The Chiefs HAVE to see this. I cant see Pioli/Crennel going down with Cassel.

Can we stop talking about him

**dannybcaitlyn** · 01-09-2012, 11:36 AM

As a Backup!

His competition will be a lifesize cutout of himself.

He would still struggle to retain the starting position...

I'm pretty certain he's going to get one more chance. You need to start praying Stanzi suddenly gets it.

The drastic improvement in the team's performance with a mediocre NFL QB with only a few weeks with the team and coming off a hand injury has to make it crystal clear that Cassel is not the answer, even to Pioli.

I believe RAC has no faith in Cassel after watching him in practice and on the field.

Yet the ability of the Chiefs organization to make poor decisions cannot be underestimated.

It will be Pioli's decision whether or not Cassel is the starter next season.

Well that said a whole lot of nothing

The offense wasn't that much better with Orton.

Having that said, I agree 100% Cassel needs to be traded.

nobody would trade for him.

My only hope is that Pioli was hoping he could snag McD to "rescue" Cassel, and having failed to do that he will be more likely to cut ties with him, thinking there's no one else out there who can work the magic.

More likely, he's thinking: I get rid of Haley and get Charles and Moeaki back, draft some OL, Cassel will be good enough.
