Chiefs Nick has identified Cassel's replacement - Page 3

As the losses mount, the organization can fire the head coach, but that might not be enough. They should strongly consider swapping out their starting quarterback. Cassel has regressed so much that it might be time for the team to take a long look at Cincinnati Bengals holdout Carson Palmer.

No one person was higher on Cassel last season than yours truly. But he’s hit rock bottom in Kansas City and Palmer, who is demanding a trade, would make sense for the Chiefs. They could offer a late-round pick or deal Cassel to the Bengals straight up for Palmer.

Cincinnati is starting TCU rookie Andy Dalton but thus far the Bengals are 1-2 on the season and adding Cassel, if only for the remainder of the season, would give the AFC North team a veteran quarterback who badly needs a change of scenery.

If the Chiefs are going to do it before their bye, the time to do it is this week. After a home game against Minnesota and a road game against the Indianapolis Colts, the Chiefs return to Arrowhead for three straight games.

By firing Haley and promoting Romeo Crennel to head coach and acquiring Palmer, the Andrew Luck sweepstakes could be put on hold for the Chiefs.

What we saw on Sunday for the third game in a row is that Cassel is unwilling to throw the ball down the field with any real consistency. Sure, the Chargers threw a blanket on Chiefs receiver Dwayne Bowe, but every NFL team has to deal with injuries and Cassel has to step up and overcome the long odds he’s facing every weekend.

Perhaps that’s harsh but Cassel has been horrific as the KC’s starting quarterback since last year’s regular season finale against the Oakland Raiders. Forget the statistics in regards to touchdowns and interceptions, the bottom line is that Cassel has lost five straight games, including last year’s home playoff loss against the Baltimore Ravens.

With Palmer at least the Chiefs have a known commodity and one who might be a solid replacement for Cassel. The Chiefs probably want Luck, but they’d have to likely go 2-14 to get him.

I’m at a loss for words as to why a team with so much talent isn’t more competitive on offense. That falls on Cassel and the head coach.

Sadly, the Chiefs best option might be to play rookie Ricky Stanzi, who was KC’s best quarterback in the preseason. But he rests third on the depth chart behind Tyler Palko, who isn’t a starting NFL quarterback. We don’t know what Stanzi is either but I’ll take my chances with him for the remainder of the regular season.

What we do know is that right now, Cassel needs to be replaced.

No to Carson Palmer. Yes to Andrew Luck.

Wow... Just ****ing wow. I have never read anything of substance from this moron. Each time I read one of his "articles" (and I use that term very loosely) I have to take a moment. A long moment, to digest it. Most of the time, it's as though I'm digesting a spoiled chunk of blofish or a greasy piece of Popeye's chicken.
My bowels constrict, I feel that odd tingling in my jaw-line that hits me right before the cold sweat and nausea take hold. Then here it comes... Violent vomiting and high-pressure liquid shits.

That's right, I compare mr. Athan's writing to that of a bad case of salmonella or trichinosis. The constant flow of literary diarrhea he expels is a reminder for me to make sure I donate to Jerry's Kids each year. The biggest joke here? He charges people to read this excrement... AND THEY PAY! That's right, they pay for what they feel is insider information.
Wait a second... Maybe I can capitalize on this phenomenon. I'll start a site called, "Gonzo's super-duper Chief's inside info." I'll charge 100 bucks a year and come up with a special brand of idiocy that those dumb asses will subscribe too.
"The Chiefs woes will all be healed once they perfect cloning and sign Joe Montana's clone to a 10 year contract!"
So, there you go. If you subscribe to this drivel, expect my donation via the telethon shortly to help you with the dues soon!

That would be the 8-8 True Fan bullshit way of a building team.

Why would they do that? Trade a draft pick to maybe be slightly less terrible?

Yeah, I read it. It's like that Thai restaurant in your neighborhood. You know you shouldn't eat there but you just can't help it every now and then.

It's worked great so far Nick. Why change it if it's working?

Palmer is the type of QB I wouldn't mind signing as a vet back up to a young starter.

Someone to play the Chris Chandler/Kerry Collins/etc role.

I would not trade draft picks for him.

I would not want him to be our 16 game starter...

durtyrute · 09-26-2011, 08:54 AM

I'm a fan of NIck's, but he is talking out of his ass on this one. Why is it that we are the only team in the league that is scared to start a rookie? If you're saying that we have problems at QB, which we do, why not give the other guys on our team a shot. Perferably, that "shot" would go to Stanzi, but if you need to put in Palko so he can **** up then put in Stanzi do it that way, whatever. But, what we don't need to do right now is go trading picks for someone elses trash, even though they are better than our trash.
