Chiefs Props to Cassel for converting on some key 3rd downs - Page 2

PunkinDrublic · 10-24-2010, 03:31 PM

If you're going to pile on when he ****s up you gotta credit him when he plays well. Our run game was dominant, but I'm stoked Cassel was able to complete some key third down passes when the game was still close.

Cassel played OK today.

I'm glad.

The problem is we cannot count on 250 yards rushing every week, especially against good teams.

This game did nothing to make me think Cassel can lead the Chiefs to a playoff win.

I think we can count on the rushing.

I think we don't have to worry about Cassel leading us to anything.

I think Cassel is our Dilfer.

I think I need another beer.

This. There are going to be games where the running game is not there and we'll have to rely on Cassel. Will he be able to deliver?

So a mediocre back up QB is all we need yea

Other than Boumans ints he looked better than Cassel considering he had 5 days from having his butt on a tractor. Props for Cassel not to **** up the game but honestly he is not the QB we need. We havn't drafted him yet

I'm still not confident in the dude.

This is beyond reeruned. Did you not see the key third down conversions he made to keep the game clinching drive alive? Bouman started out hot but fell apart down thee stretch once Romeo was able to make the right defensive adjustments.

I'm all for replacing Cassel with an upgrade, but it does appear to me that he's gaining some confidence the last few weeks and has definitely made mo betta throws the last few games. Yeah he's always going to have some WTF throws, but I will take what he's done the last couple of weeks. I also see him playing with some passion and I like that.

Hammock Parties · 10-24-2010, 04:27 PM

The most impressive thing about Cassel today was that we had basically one wide receiver and he stood in there, made reads and completed 13 of 18.

It's pretty clear we don't have much at receiver, especially when Chambers is missing games.

Well excuse me, but damnit he hasn't won us a play off game yet or is he going to sniff us a Super Bowl?. I'm not jumping on his band waggon. I know he has and is playing better. That is good but I am not going to fool myself about a career backup retread QB. Sorry he has still a lot to prove to this team. We have been down this road so many times with QBs like him. Just a few weeks ago people were calling for Croyle. Now crown his ass for doing his job like he gets paid $63,000,000 in the first place. What ever you want to do is fine with me. The question is do you trust him in the playoffs when where the big boys play?

He has shown he can play well, he is still a mediocre QB at best. He is do able this season, but no matter what, I am rooting for the Chiefs to draft a high round and highly touted QBotf for the next NFL draft.

HAHAHAHA

****ing downs syndrome kid....

Protip: Playoffs start after week 17

Cassel played decent today, and I hope we're seeing a long-term rise in performance. I still worry about accuracy, witness the TD pass to Bowe that ended up requiring an official review. Bowe made a great catch on a badly overthrown ball when he was wide open and it wasn't a long pass. If they can solve Cassel's overthrowing tendency I think he could be serviceable.

LaChapelle · 10-24-2010, 06:24 PM

He's a top 10 backup
but you'll never get them to admit it here

Chiefs Rool · 10-24-2010, 06:24 PM

Cassel made some plays today, I even saw him step up in the pocket and make a throw! I think it was his first time. But, I'm still not that confident with him. I hope he gets better and consistent, but I'm not counting on it. But I guess he deserves some credit for 2 solid games in a row.
