Spinoff: Is the Chiefs organization distancing itself from Matt Cassel?
Here's the facts:

- The Chiefs have never touched the subject of acquiring a new starting Quarterback outside of Matt before this offseason.... last week, even.

- Pioli reiterated that there "will be competition at the quarterback position. (That being said, he also said that Brodie, Thigpen, and Palko were 'competition' in the past).

- Romeo has spoken out twice in the past week about potential game changers like RG3, and Peyton Manning. He has also beat the drum for Kyle Orton and what he did last season.

- A story leaked last week regarding the Chiefs' rumored interest in acquiring Peyton Manning should he be available.

- The Chiefs interviewed the top 3 QB's at the combine (Luck, RG3, Tannehill).

- On the front page of the official Chiefs website, there is an interview with Greg Cosell, who essentially says that the Chiefs can't fully compete with Cassel at the helm. Again, this is on the Chiefs website...


Those facts considered, it appears that the organization might be attempting to untie the knot between Cassel and the starting QB spot. This is a major shift from the past. It brings to light a few questions:

1. Why?
- To win the media/public back?
- To attract/retain potential free agents that don't want to play with Cassel? (Bowe, TE's, Oline)

2 Why NOW?
- What strategic advantage does it pose to float these thoughts to the public?
- Does this hurt our case in FA or the draft, by showing our hand early?

And finally,

3. Will Pioli actually sack up and make a game-changing move?

You mean of the current QB's on the roster? There are 31 other teams in the NFL that would also start Cassel over Stanzi.

Honest answer? Possibly, but with Pioli and this organization nothing can be taken for more than face value. Actions mean everything. Once he addresses the QB position in a legit manner then I and most others will believe he is done with his man love for Cassel.

Pioli would have to win a combined 6 games the next two years to get fired.

I would definitely agree that there is quite a bit a smoke rolling out of Arrowhead right now regarding qb's, moreso than years past... but to try & figure out what they're really thinking is far beyond me.

Nothing, good or bad, will surprise me this year.
On the other hand, it could be that we fan people are just super-sensitized to the subject, you know?

I mean, it's like every article with even a vague reference to the quarterback position finds its way to the front page and gets 100 posts within hours. Dr. Evil and Romeo The Round may not have much of anything in mind other than giving Cassel more "tools". We poor, long-suffering spectators may simply be reaching with the hands of perturbation for every flotsam of hope that floats by in the dank sea of despondency.

No. This is just like reading your horoscope or seeing jesus in a piece of toast. Seeing something that is not there.

Past Facts dictate, we ride cassel til egoli is fired or cassel gets injured. We will keep building around him. If we do get lucky and find a franchise, then everyone else will be too old.

But, I would love to eat crow.

edit. dammit..

He fired Carl after two years as owner, after a "rebuilding" year.

Five years without a playoff win = failure.

There is no game that needs to be played. Pioli can sign Orton anytime he wants. Or draft a QB. Or sign Manning. In fact, giving public signals seems contrary to Pioli's M.O. It's more likely that the talk is propaganda for the fans' sake.
