QB MATT CASSEL NAMED AFC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE MONTH

By PR Staff

Cassel is just the second Chiefs quarterback to ever win the honor

The National Football League informed the Chiefs on Thursday that QB Matt Cassel has been named the AFC Offensive Player of the Month for November.

Cassel is just the second Chiefs quarterback to ever win the honor, joining QB Steve DeBerg who did it in September of ’90. Cassel is the first Chiefs player to be named AFC Player of the Month since RB Larry Johnson in December/January of the 2005 season.

Cassel (6-4, 230) completed 90 of 144 passes (62.5%) for 1,111 yards with 12 TDs and only one INT for a 111.2 passer rating in November. His 12 TD passes led the league during the month, while his passer rating ranked third in the NFL over that span. He has recorded three straight games with a 100.0+ rating and produced a pair of games with four TD passes in November. Cassel threw for a career-high 469 yards at Denver (12/5). He currently leads the NFL with a 6.81 TD percentage (min. 250 attempts) on the season. Cassel also has a +18 touchdown-to-interception differential, the second-best mark in the NFL.

That brought out my "bull crap" because I take words very literally.

That is why I thought you were being intellectually dishonest....I know it is hard to communicate through text, and in person we would not have these kinds of difficulties...But I was not being literal when I said no one...

As I said, you can find exceptions to everything...but they don't make the rule...

I apologize for not being clear, and will try to keep this in mind and be more literal.

Bullshit.

I have started AT LEAST 5 thread THIS YEAR praising Cassel.

Also, for the record, WINNING THE SUPERBOWL IS WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT

Interesting.

I think part of this ongoing debate is due to some of us having different unrealistic expectations and others having the bar set so low that they think Cassel has a good game when he throws for 125 yards in a loss.

My objection to Cassel has always been that he won't develop into a big time QB. Therefore, I can't be wrong about him until he develops into a big time QB. You keep saying that he isn't there yet and no one is claiming that he has. It seems very inconsistent for you to want me to admit I am wrong, even when you agree that he hasn't arrived yet.

Well, if someone 'doubts' Cassel can be a GREAT QB, they can't be wrong yet, but might be some day.

If someone doubted that he could be a Good QB, they appear to be wrong.

If someone doubted that he could be an average QB they are wrong for sure.

IMO he has proven he has the tools to be a good QB......but "GReat?"

That is a huge leap...generally hardly anyone (I would say no one, but I don't want to start a huge argument) thinks he is a great QB already.

**BossChief** · 12-02-2010, 11:26 PM

Its funny how vocal some of the people in this thread are being...didnt hear a peep from them when Cassel was the reason we yelled at the TV during games not too long ago, now its all like "I told you so"

are you new here?

Talk about "Strawman".

If Matt Cassel didn't cost a 2nd round pick and $28 million dollars over the course of 32 games, I'm pretty sure that the expectations would be much lower.

I know those things don't matter to you because you live your life as a shrine to the Hunts and the Chiefs but they do matter to others.

Not that you give a ****.

well enough for first in the division through 11 games, in his second year.

I really don't understand your point....You say he won't be a 'big time' QB...Okay..I can't argue with that.

I don't know where you ever got that I want you to admit you are wrong, the only thing I ever said was 'no one thinks he is a big time QB yet' and you took me EXTREMELY literally....when what I meant by no one was 'practically no one'...

I don't want you to be wrong...I think you are misunderstanding me somehow...My main argument about the word 'big time' was with someone else.

I'll keep this simple because your intellect requires that I speak in small words and concepts:

Name me a QB that made $14.75 million last year.

Really we all want the same thing out of Cassel. Haters, homers, and I don't give a shit either wayers. All of us want the Chiefs to win playoff games and hopefully win the Super Bowl. Now some of us don't beleive he has it in but we sure as hell hope he can. There is nothing more than the sweet taste of crow if the Chiefs win a Super Bowl. If he plays like he did against the Seahawks or close to, hell yeah that would be awesome. If he plays like did earlier in the year we are ****ed and it just blows. We all want the Chiefs win, why would be a fans if we didn't think that?

Chargers game and hopefully some more in January can prove what Cassel really is. Can he win the games that will make us the team that we all want? Right now nobody is right and nobody is wrong. Cassel hasn't led us to the playoffs yet, and he hasn't really beat a really good team in the regular season. But he has played some good football lately and that is a great sign. Hopefully he can keep it up. I think the rest of the team will be built up to a Super Bowl quality team. Our young talent is sick, but they are young and we need some more pieces to the puzzle. We could be just like the Cowboys of the 90's. Thats how good I think some of are young guys are. I just don't want us to be the Chiefs of the 90's or the Vikings of this decade. Good team, but not have the QB to get us over the hump.

Like I said nobody is right yet about Cassel and nobody is wrong about him either. The great thing about football is, he is going to be able to prove on the field and its getting close to showtime.
