Walt's been pimping the Chiefs all offseason, FYI.

I really like the matchup against the Falcons next year. Should the Falcons remain healthy, it will give us the perfect preview to our 2012 season.
You've got a Tier B quarterback with a Tier A receiving tandem, and a between-the-tackles run game. It will be the perfect test for both faucets of our defense. Can the Chiefs limit the passing attack? Can we stuff Michael Turner? |

If we score more than 20 points against Atlanta, we will win.
We will lose if Cassel is the quarterback...too many early 3 and outs that will give them too much of a field position advantage. Once a team has a score or two up on us, Cassel isn't gonna throw well enough to get us back in any games. This team is built to play with the lead, not the other way around. Same as the start of last year. |

I think we lose it, but I think it'll be.close. Probably the best week 1 matchup by a mile.

Because he sucks and doesn't have the physical tools to improve.
Teams have lots of film on him and know the limited amount of things he can do effectively and how to take them away and force him to do something else to try and win. It's why he was so bad last year and why I see him getting pulled prior to the bye week this year. Hopefully, for Stanzi. |

He has the physical tools. Cassel is pretty athletic for his size. He's just not a starting NFL caliber quarterback. He doesn't have the instincts for it at this level. He hasn't gone through his progressions well to this point and doesn't throw the ball with very good timing. As well, his pocket presence/feel for the defense and what his lineman are doing hasn't been good.
Cassel is a hell of a lot more athletic than guys like Manning, Brady and Brees. He just doesn't have their instincts, which is what truly separates guys at this level. |

Have you seen him try to throw passes over 15 yards? |

It was the reason that I didn't like him coming out of college. But he makes up for it with outstanding vision, making quick progressions, good decisions and great anticipation. His intermediate and deep balls are accurate because of those attributes, and those are mental aspects of the position. A guy like Brett Favre, who was really not good at making quick reads and good decisions got away with it because of his strong arm. Ben Roethlisberger gets away with it because of his size and strength, along with his arm. Cassel lacks the mental tools to succeed.

Cassel can zing a 20 yarder. He's big enough and strong enough, and we've seen him frozen-rope it to Bowe for a touchdown when Bowe was wide open.
The problem is that. The receiver has to be wide open. Cassel simply refuses to challenge corners when they have their guy covered. If there's any coverage whatsoever, Cassel looks elsewhere. That's why he takes so many sacks. He's constantly looking for guys who are wide ****ing open, and doesn't see a lot of them when they are. And, of course, he never throws the ball away, ever. |
