Chiefs Peter King finally realizes Cassel sucks - Page 3

COchief · 10-08-2012, 08:45 AM

This is fantastic that a writer with the exposure that King wields finally has called Cassel/Pioli/Romeo out. I didn't think he would ever do it due to his affiliation with Pioli and past worship of "The Patriot Way". I have been emailing him on a weekly basis telling him that Cassel is terrible as I am sure many of you also have, looks like somebody (I am not taking credit, he probably gets thousands) finally got him to pay attention.

Hearing "This is the end" by The Doors in my head and smiling ear-to-ear.

Excerpts:

5. The story in Kansas City is the treatment of Matt Cassel as much as the play of Matt Cassel. No NFL quarterback is slumping quite as badly as Cassel, who has been rated lower than 84 (which is mediocrity) in all five games of the 1-4 Chiefs start. So when he went down with a concussion, felled by a hard hit from Baltimore defensive tackle Haloti Ngata in the second half Sunday, the Chiefs heard some fans cheering. That prompted this from K.C. right tackle Eric Winston:
"When you cheer someone getting knocked out ... it's sickening. It's 100 percent sickening. I've been in some rough times on some rough teams, and I've never been more embarrassed in my life to play football than in that moment right there ... We're not gladiators. This is not the Roman Coliseum. It is not OK [to cheer a player getting hurt]. It is not OK."
I'm glad to hear a teammate say that instead of robotically saying the fans pay their money and they can do what they want. But as for the football side, Cassel is playing shellshocked right now, and Romeo Crennel should start backup Brady Quinn, who was 3 of 3 in brief duty Sunday, when the Chiefs go to Tampa Bay Sunday. It's much for Cassel's mental as his physical health. The Chiefs need to see if they can get anything going on offense while their season has a glimmer of hope left.

Goats of the Week

Matt Cassel, QB, Kansas City. Thirteen turnovers in the first 19 quarters of the year, and the 13th was clearly the most damaging Sunday against Baltimore. In a 3-3 game in the third quarter, Kansas City had the ball at the Baltimore 1, and Cassel, hurrying to get the ball so he could make a quarterback sneak, mishandled the snap from new center Ryan Lilja. Baltimore recovered, and was up 6-3 five minutes later.
Kansas City was inches from taking its first lead in regulation time of the season, and Cassel coughed it up. You could see on the replay how Cassel misplayed the situation by leaning forward before the ball was snapped. Just a huge error.

h. Chiefs offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, down 6-3 in the third quarter, with a 3rd-and-12, called a draw play to Jamaal Charles. Guys, if you have zero faith in your quarterback, pull him and play the backup.

Peter King doesn't realize shit.

Matt Cassel is not slumping right now.

He is playing exactly like he has every damn time he has faced a good team.

This has been a tough schedule to start the season, and Matt Cassel has simply been exposed as the hot garbage that he really is.

Micjones · 10-10-2012, 08:03 AM

Cassel is definitely slumping. This is the worst he's ever been in Kansas City.

It also doesn't matter that Baltimore saw the sneak coming.
If it had been executed properly we still score there.

A CHIEFS FAN CHECKS IN ON THE BOOING. "I have been a life-long, die-hard Chiefs fan. On Sunday, I went to my first Chiefs game since the days of Trent Green handing the ball off to Larry Johnson. All my life I have taken pride in hearing about how great Kansas City Chiefs fans are and have been so happy to say that I am a part of that. I was so excited to witness it firsthand at Arrowhead, but what I witnessed at the game on Sunday was embarrassing. I have always liked Matt Cassel as a competitor and a person, even if I did not always like his play. I have become frustrated this year with him, but not to the point I would cheer his injury. Cassel doesn't deserve that.

If you want to be disgusted with anyone, be mad at Scott Pioli for not bringing in a different QB, not a guy who has week in and week out showed the passion of having that arrowhead on the side of his helmet. I was there, and can say that it was not everyone who cheered, but it was enough to leave a sour taste in my mouth. For the first time in my life, I am embarrassed to say that I am a Chiefs fan.''

Hes always been mediorce to bad, but his turnovers are extrmemely high. Thats whats killing him. He doesnt have the arm to recover from mistakes.

Sofa King · 10-10-2012, 09:00 AM

Can you really call it a slump if his whole career has been shitty?

Go look at his game log.

He's always had a propensity to turn the ball over against good teams.

He's just never had a stretch of tough games to match this stretch.

Don't forget to mention that Cassel is 100% capable of shitting the bed against bad teams as well. I know you already know this, just putting it out there.

This is the big one. But that goes back to the coaching. There are so many examples of bad clock management and playing scared coming out of Romeo it is really sad. Punting on 4th and 1 from the opponents 40? Seriously?

Ultra Peanut · 10-10-2012, 12:48 PM

He's always been ill-composed and bad at playing football, but "slump" is a fair description of this opening stretch of the season. His body language has gone from "oh shit what the **** to I do" to "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA," especially Sunday. It's embarrassing and it makes me feel awful for him (while wishing desperately to never see him play QB for the Chiefs ever again).

The only saving grace he has over Grbac is that he doesn't seem like a total dickhead irl

Cassel has been, is, and will always be over his head as a starting QB in the NFL. It should have never come to this.

Mr. GoChiefs, can you 'gif up' this play? I have to wonder if this wasn't an audible.
