Chiefs Really hard not to like Matt Cassel. - Page 29

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 used to think Cassel was a good guy in a bad situation. Or a bad QB with good intentions.

His public responses this whole season have revealed his true identity as a guy who knows he should take responsibility for the team's failures, but always wants to shift blame onto other people. He constantly throws his teammates under the bus. He actually blamed the ENTIRE team for his benching.

it's a complete bitch move.

He does not think that he is as bad as he has played.

He thinks his shit does not stink.

It's typical of the arrogant attitude displayed in most leaders who have been indoctrinated within the Patriot Way.

That's exactly how I'm looking at it these days.

2. Kansas City Chiefs

PB = 2nd, RB = 10th, PEN = 9th

You can’t blame the Chiefs struggle on their offensive line. Branden Albert has given up just eight quarterback disruptions all year, Ryan Lilja (who was playing well at LG) looks like a natural at center, while Eric Winston and Jon Asamoah have formed a handy combination. The quarterback situation is killing this team.

Is Direckshun mentally all there anymore?

The guy used to have some decent takes now he's out of his ****ing tree.

The front office's stubbornness to not admit they were wrong is inexcusable. And a fireable offense. The other problem is... the Chiefs don't make enough gambles like these and instead burn draft picks and free agent pickups time and time again on safe picks.It's because Pioli is so egotistical he wants to keep proving that he can build a team on a tight budget and to prove this Patriot Way philosophy of picking up great role players.

The move to trade for Cassel was not gamble.

It was the safe move for Pioli, getting a guy he was familiar with.

The issue is the fact that he thought this was a franchise QB.

This is not the guy I want picking the next QB.

I stopped liking Cassell when I heard he was mean to that applebees waitress. **** that guy

Even Pioli said it in his media blitz " When things go well you're not as good as people tell you, and when things go wrong you're not as bad as people tell you."

I don't really rate my QBs by how nice they are.

Please show me where I flung shit on anyone for simply disagreeing with me about some evaluation
