They are going to be right no matter how many times they have to move the goalposts.

A solid run game makes a QB's job easier?

This is one of those deals where stats don't tell the whole story.
Drops aside in the Rams game ... what I've seen over the last several weeks include Cassel changing plays at the line of scrimmage, going through reads, having good pocket awareness, stepping into his throws, making key plays, consistently making good throws, not enduring long stretches of inaccuracy or dumbassery -- stuff he wasn't doing last year or the first half of this year. And then there are intangible things like showing fire, leadership, throwing blocks, etc. You look at his QB ratings from earlier in the season and you see some nice numbers, but I remember him in some of those games having long stretches where he was playing poorly, then he'd finally find his groove and do well. It was the inconsistency that was his biggest obstacle. To me, since the 2nd half of the @Denver game, he has been consistently above average. |

If Cassel plays the last two games like he did at St L and against Denver he will finish with 3000 yards and TD to INT ratio of 5:1. I don't understand the hate. Because it's not always pretty?

I wouldn't say it's hate. We all (or at least most of us) really appreciate his work and we are really glad that he's stepped up. We just realize that, while good, Cassel is not the kind of QB that can pretty much win a game single handedly with minimal contribution elsewhere.

I want a franchise QB. I think this team is bringing him along the right way and after his last 5 weeks I finally believe there's reason for hope long term. (I would still sign a decent vet/prospect to back him up though...)

Serious question for all the Cassel homers: What will it take for you to concede that he's not the guy?
My personal opinion is the guys ceiling just isn't high enough. He's improved but he's never played anywhere close to what he's paid and without the running game his stats would be about half of what they are. I can see this team getting back to Marty era chiefs with that type of QB with a solid defense. But you've seen that movie before, and you know how it ends.

I hate to break it to you, but those QB's don't exist in reality. It's a team sport.

Why not apply it to Charles or Flowers? Charles needs to score a TD on every play maybe 2, You can't get caught from behind and then whine you had cramps. What was it your time of the month? Pussy. Thats what fans should say about Charles if they are going to force Cassel to live up to HOF standards before they can say, well he's OK.

2) He's progressing faster and with less/comparable WR help to what Green had his 2nd year. 3) It's not about having the best QB, it's about having the best team. 4) WE ARE CURRENTLY THE 3RD BEST ****ING TEAM IN THE AFC!1!!!!!!
