Chiefs Really hard not to like Matt Cassel. - Page 27

Direckshun · 07-28-2012, 06:14 PM

I can't help it. He is everything I like in a quarterback other than his inability to be consistently really, really good.

Kind of a ****ed up thing to say. But he's such a good representative for this team. He blocks when run plays swing around, and blocks really, really enthusiastically for a QB. He sticks up for all his teammates, and has never thrown them under a bus. He's got occasional throws when his protection is strong that do genuinely look like brilliant darts into the chest of a receiver.

He's not a drama queen, doesn't crave attention. Gives his time up for charity, married to a camera shy college sweetheart who as it turns out is the leggiest brunette this side of the Atlantic.

He's really fiery, even having that awesome exchange of words with Haley last year. He'll get in a fight, even a physical fight for the guys in red. He ****s around with his teammates on the sidelines and knows the playbook like a mother****er.

Sure, he's got the beta-male thing going on, but he's not flawless.

And we all know it: if Matt Cassel was even a pretty good Pro Bowl talent, he'd be your favorite Chief.

At 4:50, and at 5:14, two examples of Cassel putting his body out there for a teammate, in this case Jamaal Charles.

Seriously, folks. He's done nothing wrong but work his ass off for this team, do everything it takes to win, and be physically limited in what he can do.

He was one of the reasons Baldwin was able to turn it around decently last year. Cassel and Baldwin were BFFs in the preseason, and when the whole locker room could have turned on Baldwin after the Thomas Jones debacle, I'm willing to bet the first thing Cassel did in Baldwin's first practice back was throw him the ball. Cassel might have been the life saver around Baldwin's locker room rep.

I can understand being frustrated with Cassel. I know you all are too. But there is no reason to do anything but just hope the guy gets better.

Stop rooting for injury. Stop calling him an asshole.

Because he's a really ****ing good dude, and a decent quarterback. He's been good to this franchise in a lot of ways, and if he was better on the field you guys wouldn't be able to stop sucking him off.

We're all hoping Stanzi gets a shot this year, and I've been consistently mocking QBs to the Chiefs in round 1 next year.

But get your head on straight. Root for Matt Cassel.

I'd buy him a near beer, because they are so similar.

My friend told me Cassel was on a food network show a while back. Never saw it but said he acted like a prick. You never know with guys on camera. They can come off well or poorly. My gut tells me he is a little fake. Reading into his comments most times just makes me feel even more so with him not accepting blame.

What?

After all of the shit you flung anyone and everyone's way for YEARS on end that disagreed with your evaluation of Cassel, that's the end? That's it?

We're still "kin"?

You're ****ing smoking crack.

You have a ****LOAD of ass kissing ahead if you want to be considered a "bro".

I think the only relationship I have on here that's more homoerotic than the one with Pawnmower is the one I have with Simply Red.

Pawn is an awesome bro. Just add love.

A Cassel block looks remarkably similar to a frantic ground hog attempting to dig an emergency burrow.

I'd take my beer and pour in on Cassel's head. Then, I would take his beer and drink it right in front of him. Then, I would take his wife's beer and throw it right square on her bosom. Then, I would steal a beer from the guy at the next table and tell him that Cassel forced me to steal his beer and call his girlfriend an ugly, moon-faced, floozy who flaunted her meat curtains in front of the entire team. Then I would order another beer and kick back as the other guy beats the living crap out of Cassel.

Please show me ONE ****ing post where I disagree with an 'evaluation' of Cassel,

THIS is the ****ing problem with you and the ****ing reeruns like you.

You can't ****ing read or understand basic English.

This is your chance, PLEASE quote me on something , ANYTHING where you think I overhype, overestimate, or say anything that is not accurate regarding Cassel.

****ing do this shit.

If you don't, then admit it just simply isn't true.....

**Ming the Merciless** · 10-24-2012, 12:18 AM

****ing Honestly about the best thing I ever said about him was 'he played well in this game' or 'he wasn't crappy today'

I always maintained I would love to have a better QB.....

But ****ing who?

Quinn?

Well his comments after being benched were not the kind you would expect from the guy described by the OP. He never accepted any responsibility for getting benched.

I must confess I was against getting him in the first place fearing a repeat of "Scott Mitchell". My son and I argued at the time and he still defends getting him but says they should have changed last year when it was clear he wasn't going to elevate his game.

I'm sure he's a great guy but I have always felt like he gets nervous in pressure situations. If he checked to a run when the Raven's showed blitz what does that say about him? Orton was sacked once in 3 games largely because he recognized the blitz and changed to a play that would work. Often taking advantage of blitzing defenders by throwing downfield.

Time to move on saying I told you so or berating the guy doesn't change anything. We need to take the shotgun approach and draft and sign multiple QBs until we get a real one.
