Jeff Chadiha Interviewed on 810 this morning -Interesting bits about Cassel and OC

[ComfortablyNumb]

Jeff Chadiha of ESPN was interviewed on 810 this morning and had some interesting bits about Cassel:

- He revealed that Haley told him that his father, Dick Haley (famous Steelers personnel man), upon watching Cassel practice told him "I don't think you can win with this guy"

- Was told by a source within the Chiefs that he trusts that Matt Cassel was still mistakenly calling out plays using Patriots terminology...in year two

- Was told that Weiss was not a Cassel fan at all (I know this isn't new, but yet another source confirming what we already know)

- Was informed by multiple sources around the league that the Chiefs OC job is not a prime destination because of the atmosphere created by Pioli, lack of confidence in the staying power of Romeo and the fact that Cassel is the QB

Very depressing interview....

While I agree, part of MY frustration is that Pioli seems to be operating, by and large, the EXACT SAME WAY Peterson did.

If KC has another sub .500 season or barely makes the playoffs and loses because of Cassel shitting himself because they have to rely on him to get the win.
You can say goodbye to the Pioli administration after this year.

At least Peterson listened to his coachs and gave them what they wanted.

Now are the two guys both pricks? No doubt!

Heres a few threads from CP back in Jan of 1992:


"We wont win a championship with Deberg as QB"

"I want Dave Krieg!"

"Harvey Williams will break 2000 yards this season"

"My fearless draft prediction: Dale Carter will bust"

No... Wait... they went with the 5th round draft pick didn't they!

Dude, what are you talking about? Delhomme was OUT OF THE LEAGUE and NOT on the Texans roster, until the 1st and 2nd string QBs were injured.

Of course, you go with the player who has been on the team and knows the player book, over a street FA, who has been sitting on the couch.

Like the farmer dude from the Jags that nearly beat our butts last year.

It's a real shame, too.

Pioli has made very solid moves with the rest of the roster and if he just gets rid of Cassel, signs Orton and drafts a quarterback in the first two rounds, he would be a golden god.

Bowe was pretty good, but his route running has improved dramatically over the past two seasons.

I'm gonna go ahead and give Romeo credit for DJ since he was basically an underachiever until the season Romeo arrived.

The only thing Haley did for Charles was not believe in him. First he wanted to trade him, and then he wanted to cut him. Charles succeeded in spite of a coach who didn't want him on the team. He had Charles behind Battle and Savage on the depth chart, and the ONLY reason he played was because all of our RB's were hurt and Haley had no choice. Once Charles got the ball, he took that decision away from Haley with his incredible play.

And Haley still brought in one of his favorite guys to start over Charles the next season.

Is it:
1. Because he’s just a ****ing idiot, or
2. He isn’t putting in the work to learn his position?

No ****ing way to I intend to defend Cassel but, maybe there is no continuity at all on the offensive side of the ball with three OCs in three years.

Same system. Erhardt-perkins offense. He ran it in NE, and he's run it his entire career in KC.

It's not like it changed THAT much, though the individual coaches have obviously added their own wrinkles to it.
