Chiefs Cassel or Sanchez? - Page 3

KCBOSS1 · 04-11-2009, 06:45 PM

I realize that we are where we are, but the more I see about Sanchez, the more I'm afraid that a few years down the road, we may look back and realize that we passed up on the franchise guy that we've been looking for. I know that Cassel played ok last year, but is he a franchise guy? ...likely not. Thoughts?

Cassel hands down over Sanchez. I like what Cassel brings to the table. He has the skillset to become a star in this league. His mechanics are very good, and he is chomping at the bit to be a starting QB. Anyone that doubts Cassel's ability to lead a team...pull up the game on NFL.com right after his Dad had just died. He is a leader, and a gamer in the most drastic of circumstances. Brett Favre's highlights after his Dad died are still being played over and over again on NFL Network. No mention of Cassel's play...

Sanchez has a lot of potential, but his one year of experience, and the fact that he couldn't put John David Booty on the bench scares me.

A month or so ago, you would have been killed if you talked about drafting Sanchez at #3. Now because of a good Pro Day, and some very likeable answers, he seems to be a hot commodity.

Not to mention Randy Moss and Wes Welker

Two pro bowl LTs or a crazy athletic ILB that doesn't rush the QB.

Oh, how will we ever choose between them?

A month or so ago just as many people wanted to draft Sanchez.

You can't go wrong either way we get a Pro bowler at a position of need.

I'm just going to through this out there, Cassel didn't have a good Oline last year.

Matt Cassel played TE his senior year isn't that a bit scary....

I don't see any star potential there, I see league average QB.

And no offense or anything but Mark Sanchez has better mechanics and a much quicker release. And there are several of us that talked about Sanchez at 3 much much longer than a month ago.

Some of us have been advocating Sanchez for like three months. Back then, those that were disagreeing were Thiggy supporters.

I don't really agree with this...Cassel gets sacked alot because he holds onto the ball to long.

KCBOSS1 · 04-11-2009, 07:23 PM

I'm a total believer in the O-line priority. I think Trent Green was good, but sometimes great behind our line 4 years ago, as was LJ. I think that Cassel could probably be very good behind a stout line. I'm more in favor of building the line through free agency though if possible.

Those of us that were pimping Sanchez as the #3 pick a month ago were being roundly critisized.

I still would pick him at #3 now.

I have a question for the guys who don't want to draft Curry, who do you favor? Smith/Monroe or Curry if you had to choose? I personally would lean towards the premier LT... I would also rather move one of the best OG prospects to ever come out back to OG rather than RT.

not scary to me, shows what an athlete he is, and shows he's got a competitive streak. he saw that he couldnt beat out leinart(fair or not) and wanted to play. shows his character IMO
