QB MATT CASSEL NAMED AFC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE MONTH

By PR Staff

Cassel is just the second Chiefs quarterback to ever win the honor

The National Football League informed the Chiefs on Thursday that QB Matt Cassel has been named the AFC Offensive Player of the Month for November.

Cassel is just the second Chiefs quarterback to ever win the honor, joining QB Steve DeBerg who did it in September of ’90. Cassel is the first Chiefs player to be named AFC Player of the Month since RB Larry Johnson in December/January of the 2005 season.

Cassel (6-4, 230) completed 90 of 144 passes (62.5%) for 1,111 yards with 12 TDs and only one INT for a 111.2 passer rating in November. His 12 TD passes led the league during the month, while his passer rating ranked third in the NFL over that span. He has recorded three straight games with a 100.0+ rating and produced a pair of games with four TD passes in November. Cassel threw for a career-high 469 yards at Denver (12/5). He currently leads the NFL with a 6.81 TD percentage (min. 250 attempts) on the season. Cassel also has a +18 touchdown-to-interception differential, the second-best mark in the NFL.

While this team IS getting better, and Cassel is getting better, I think we're all in for a rude awakening next year when we have to play a schedule that's 100x harder than the one this year. (If we win our division this year).

Green Bay
Chicago
Minnesota
New England
Indianapolis
Baltimore
New York Jets
San Diego (x2)

BUT, that's next year. I think the Chiefs this season have done a good job of proving their no longer at the bottom of the league anymore. Their young stars are starting to shine. We should be able to build on this and continue to get better and hopefully become an AFC powerhouse for the next 5-7 years or perhaps longer. I like what Haley is doing. I think he's a good coach, learning on the job. I can't remember the last time a HC has had an approval rating this high since...well Marty I guess. At times DV had a high approval rating when our offense was putting oup 30+ ppg, but we also couldn't stop anyone. Romeo/Weis/Haley have this team gelling before our eyes. What the Chiefs have proved this season is that they can beat the bad teams now.

I still think their a mediocre team at best. But you have to crawl before you can walk, and walk before you can run. This team is heading in the right direction. You can't find too many people in KC that doesn't like what Haley is doing with this team.

The 49ers were suppose to be all powerful
and the Raiders a push over

Congratulations to Matt! I was trying to keep on top of who might win this award for the AFC. I figure it would have been Bowe with Cassel getting an outside look. I suppose the one delivering the passes is more important in the NFL's view.

Anyways, great stuff. Now do it again.

That NFC North has the look of a paper tiger to me.

Chicago isn't as good as their record, Minn is a mess and will rebuild next year, Detroit will improve but the defense is still bad and who knows what will come of Stafford's shoulder?

The Packers are the power of that division and even still, they can be beaten by a team that plays smart football.

If the Chiefs continue to improve incrimentally, they'll be okay against that schedule next year. It won't be as easy as this one, but it won't be a massacre either.

This has been brought up before and its ****ing stupid.

I'd really like to see how this season ends up.

We have no clue how the current players are going to mature, or what new players there will be from draft and FA.

He deserves it for his performance in the last 2 games. Like I've said before, let's hope it's a sign of true progress and not a mirage against some of the shittiest D's in the league.

Keep it real, people. Be objective. The progress is there, but I don't think it's time to crown him quite yet like a couple of dumbasses already have.

Well I'm just sayin....that just adds to the list of potential tough teams we would have to play next year.

Wow. And he did it without a splint on his pinky finger handing off to Christian Okoye!

**alpha_omega** · 12-02-2010, 01:00 PM

Good for him! Now, if he can be the OPOTM for December we'll be in good shape.

This is truly a bizarro world away from what we saw earlier in the season.
