Insider: Scott ***** wanted Peyton Manning

[Cassel>Manning]

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel at least has one supporter left in coach Romeo Crennel. Beyond that, the fourth-year starter for the Chiefs is losing confidence from players and many others in the organization. In fact, if the team had a better alternative than Brady Quinn as the top backup, Cassel might have already found his way to the bench.

"Look, there's a big reason why they went after Peyton Manning as hard as they did this offseason," said a source with knowledge of Chiefs president Scott *****'s thinking. "What you're seeing from Cassel is pretty much what was expected. He's a really nice backup, not a starter."
