Chiefs Really hard not to like Matt Cassel. - Page 5

Direckshun · 07-28-2012, 06:14 PM

I can't help it. He is everything I like in a quarterback other than his inability to be consistently really, really good.

Kind of a ****ed up thing to say. But he's such a good representative for this team. He blocks when run plays swing around, and blocks really, really enthusiastically for a QB. He sticks up for all his teammates, and has never thrown them under a bus. He's got occasional throws when his protection is strong that do genuinely look like brilliant darts into the chest of a receiver.

He's not a drama queen, doesn't crave attention. Gives his time up for charity, married to a camera shy college sweetheart who as it turns out is the leggiest brunette this side of the Atlantic.

He's really fiery, even having that awesome exchange of words with Haley last year. He'll get in a fight, even a physical fight for the guys in red. He ****s around with his teammates on the sidelines and knows the playbook like a mother****er.

Sure, he's got the beta-male thing going on, but he's not flawless.

And we all know it: if Matt Cassel was even a pretty good Pro Bowl talent, he'd be your favorite Chief.

At 4:50, and at 5:14, two examples of Cassel putting his body out there for a teammate, in this case Jamaal Charles.

Seriously, folks. He's done nothing wrong but work his ass off for this team, do everything it takes to win, and be physically limited in what he can do.

He was one of the reasons Baldwin was able to turn it around decently last year. Cassel and Baldwin were BFFs in the preseason, and when the whole locker room could have turned on Baldwin after the Thomas Jones debacle, I'm willing to bet the first thing Cassel did in Baldwin's first practice back was throw him the ball. Cassel might have been the life saver around Baldwin's locker room rep.

I can understand being frustrated with Cassel. I know you all are too. But there is no reason to do anything but just hope the guy gets better.

Stop rooting for injury. Stop calling him an asshole.

Because he's a really ****ing good dude, and a decent quarterback. He's been good to this franchise in a lot of ways, and if he was better on the field you guys wouldn't be able to stop sucking him off.

We're all hoping Stanzi gets a shot this year, and I've been consistently mocking QBs to the Chiefs in round 1 next year.

But get your head on straight. Root for Matt Cassel.

Aside from maybe the nose, if you look at their facial features, they look a lot alike. They could pass for siblings.

I could give a crap if he's a great guy after 40+ years without a SB and 18 years without a playoff win. Its not a popularity contest, its a football game. Matt Cassel is not and never will be good enough. I'm sure Steve Fuller, Todd Blackledge and Steve Bono were all great guys. If he can win a Super Bowl and be a great guy, I suppose that's a bonus. Cassel can only get halfway there. He cannot win a playoff game even if (and that's a big if) he plays well enough to get there, and he certainly can't carry this team to the Super Bowl let alone win it.

I oddly see this sentiment a lot (especially at ArrowheadPride), and I don't understand it.

Do you like watching the defense give Cassel chance after chance to put together a scoring drive? Do you enjoy watching this dickhead throw an interception on a screen pass? Do you live to witness him take a sack while a receiver is so open that he could do a ****ing Jabberwockeez dance routine? Do you thrill to the thought of Bowe having to do a 45 yard comeback route because Cassel can't get hit him in stride?

In terms of total talent on both sides of the ball, I can't remember a more stacked Chiefs roster in the nearly 25 years I've been watching them. Now I get to watch yet another year of their career get thrown into the trash.

He's not only wasting my time as a fan, but the careers of actual talented players.

HOW
****ING
DARE
YOU?

Cassel is a great guy, but a terrible QB. There are millions of people in the world that are great guys, yet terrible QB's.

This is the killer right here. We seriously have a stacked team....except at the most important position on the field. Sad, sad.

If cassel plays even reasonably well, there is going to be a lot of butthurt morons to laugh at in 2012.

I for one am very excited.

This is his ceiling, and that's the problem.

I've asked this before, and no one answers: Does anyone on this forum believe the Chiefs have any shot at winning a SB this year? If not, why?

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 07-28-2012, 07:21 PM

I'm rooting for him. I have no choice...
