Andy Reid discusses Casshole, Stanzi, and more
http://www.kansascity.com/2013/02/07...to-say-if.html
Chiefs’ Reid: Too early to say if Cassel will stay in KC By ADAM TEICHER The Kansas City Star Quarterback Matt Cassel has been among the regulars since the end of the season working out at the Chiefs’ Truman Sports Complex practice facility. That doesn’t necessarily mean Cassel will be a part of things when the Chiefs begin organized team workouts in April. Even though it’s been a month since he took the job as Chiefs head coach, Andy Reid hasn’t made a commitment to Cassel. “I’m going to just let that play out,’’ Reid said when asked whether Cassel would play for the Chiefs in 2013. “We’re too early in the process to know that. We’ll continue to evaluate it. We’re evaluating him just like we do a free agent. That’s what you do, and the thing about that is it takes time. I think he realizes that. That’s how it works when there’s a change.’’ Cassel was benched midway through last season, his fourth with the Chiefs, and replaced by Brady Quinn. Cassel ranked 32nd and last in passer rating among quarterbacks who threw enough passes to qualify. Cassel’s 2013 salary is $7.5 million, making it unlikely the Chiefs would retain him unless he’s their starter. Their other quarterbacks last season were Quinn, a potential unrestricted free agent, Ricky Stanzi and Alex Tanney, who joined the Chiefs last year as an undrafted rookie and spent all season on the injured-reserve list. Reid was similarly non-committal on whether the Chiefs would attempt to re-sign Quinn, who finished with a lower passer rating than Cassel. He didn’t throw enough passes to qualify for the ranking. But Reid sounded intrigued by Stanzi. He joined the Chiefs as a fifth-round draft pick from Iowa two years ago but hasn’t played in a regular-season game. “I watched a ton of his (video) from college,’’ Reid said. “I watched all of it. I watched everything he has from here. There’s just not that much of it. That’s a hard (evaluation). You want to see them in games. I’ve heard good things about him, both of those guys (including Cassel) and actually Brady, too. But with Stanzi you just don’t have as much information. “There’s probably not enough on Ricky (to have an informed opinion), certainly not enough on what we’ll ask him to do. Matt, you’ve got a little better feel about just because there’s more snaps. Matt’s a good football player.’’ The Chiefs’ list of potential free agents also includes their leading receiver, Dwayne Bowe, two other starters in left tackle Branden Albert and defensive end Glenn Dorsey, and Pro Bowl punter Dustin Colquitt. Bowe played last season as the franchise player. He would appear to be the most likely candidate to become the franchise player again if the sides don’t agree to terms of a long-term contract first. The period to designate a franchise player begins Feb. 18. Free agency begins in March. “We’re going through that whole process right now,’’ Reid said when asked which potential free agents would be a priority for the Chiefs to re-sign. “It’s almost too early to say. We’re reaching out. We’re talking to them.’’ Reid said he is getting to know many of the Chiefs players. Others he already knew from his time with Philadelphia. The Eagles hoped to draft some of them, including Albert and safety Eric Berry, and Reid spent time with them as they were coming out of college. “What’s funny is that some of these kids, Branden being one of them, I had spent a lot of time with before the draft, before they came out,’’ Reid said. “Eric Berry was in here today, making sure his hand was OK. He’s good. So seeing them is kind of funny. Now they’ve all grown up. They’re men and they’ve made it.’’ The Chiefs will begin their organized offseason conditioning program on April 1. They will have 10 offseason practices in May and a mandatory three-day minicamp in June. Because they have a new head coach, the Chiefs will also have an extra minicamp in May. |

See, most of me feels that way. Then the other part of me goes "Hey, remember who was running this ****ing franchise?" So, while I don't have high hopes for Stanzi I do think he should have been evaluated last year/gotten some playing time.

Reid has made chicken salad out of chicken shit with Feely, Kolb, Detmer, Kafka and others... he might be able to get something out of Stanzi City.

It'd be ****ing sweet if he could somehow turn into a competent backup or if we could somehow flip him for a 3rd in two years or something.

Only for them to believe Stanzi is quality and he busts worse than Cassel. They need to suffer for that once Tom leaves NE.

NIce summary DaWolf for those of us with no sound.
I'm stoked about Reid being here. he seems to 'get it' that you need a GD QB. I think Todd 'got it' too, but was hamstrung by the gestapo. Based on Reid's comments, there's no way Cassel is still on the team; much less will ever be on the field again.

I think Andy spent more time in the interview intimating that the Chiefs were looking at taking a QB with the first pick without simply coming out and saying: "With the first pick of the draft we will select this particular QB." Watch 3:56 to about 6:52 in that video and then tell me that they aren't going to target a QB with the first pick. They are wanting to make sure they get the right QB with that pick. If Geno was smart, he would watch that video and parrot every single word in that interview back to Reid when he is evaluated by the team. Maybe one of you guys can tweet it to him, lol. |

"I'm just going to let that play out."
Sounds like Bob Slydell in Office Space. "We fixed the glitch. So, he won't be receiving a paycheck anymore, so it'll just work itself out naturally." |
