Brady Quinn poised for more Kansas City Chiefs snaps

Teammates of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel reportedly are losing confidence in him following another rocky outing in Sunday's loss to the San Diego Chargers. The coaching staff might not be far behind.

Coach Romeo Crennel admitted Monday that Brady Quinn could pick up some first-team snaps in practice this week. Crennel broached the idea of benching Cassel at some point, even if only for a drive.

"You pull him out, put somebody else in, let him settle down and maybe he goes back in," Crennel said. "As a coach, you get a feeling about whether he's making good decisions, poor decisions ... those kind of things all kind of play into it."

Cassel has 10 turnovers on the season, so he has made a lot of poor decisions. Cassel is not the type of playmaker, like Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick, who can make up for many mistakes.

"At some point, as a coach, you go through and you see what's happening in the game and how a guy is reacting and how he's responding to what's happening in the game," Crennel said. "If you feel he's inept, constantly making poor decisions, bad choices, then that's when you move on from him and give someone else a chance."

The Chiefs' home crowd chanted for No. 3 quarterback Ricky Stanzi on Sunday. Crennel can only hope that's the low point of the season. We aren't likely to see Stanzi anytime soon, but it sounds like we're another bad Cassel performance away to getting the Brady Quinn experience.

Disagree, but you are entitled to your opinion.

Quinn will take snaps on the XP attempt as the holder. That's it.

The stuff in the OP was, of course, part of the conversation. But at one point, Gretz started asking about the over-throws and Roleo said something along the lines of, "... you know sometimes a guy will look good in 7 on 7 practice when there isn't a pass rush, you know, but you know when there's a pass rush in the game, you know, the guy might not throw as accurately ... you know ..."

It seems to be an admission that Roleo, at least, is aware that Cassel is A) Inaccurate much of the time, and B) Folds under pressure.

It only took him about 10 games to figure that out, but hey ... it's progress.

I pointed it out while it happened, but Zorn said a few times how Cassel looks better under false pressure (from ota practices iirc) showing that they acknowledged way back then (and last year also) that was an area to focus on.

Shit, even going back to 2008, BB told Cassel to take sacks during the first part of the year as a tool to try and get him to keep his eyes downfield when he got pressured. Chris Collinsworth pointed this out over and over during the games...that Cassel would look at the rush after his first read.

That was my major gripe with trading for him in the first place.

Here we are, nearly 5 years later, and the exact same problem exists.

The guy is just a pussy that's afraid of getting hit.

**** em.

I don't give up easily and that has paid off handsomely in the past.

He will get his shot this year, but not until there are only 3 or 4 games left and all is lost.

Hopefully, he doesn't **** up our draft position.

Kid got a raw deal in ps.

Bro. Tony Romo has a rocket arm compared with Stanzi. Stanzi is more like a Trent Green kind of guy.

Couldn't have said it better. Good job BossChief.

Sooooooo, it's those extra four guys who line up on game day that throw Cassel for a loop. Coach is starting to come to an understanding, I think!

I agree, Brady will get his chance to fail soon enough. It will be clear this team needs to go in a different direction at the QB position.
