Yes.
I really only care about the top end, lets say the best 10% of outcomes for any given QB. I want a stud QB. I'm willing to pay the development dues if that gets you a better chance at success. Think about this: someone will likely give a #1 pick for Josh Freeman. They could have had Cassel for that. They obviously think Freeman has a higher top end that Cassel. I think that is wrong, but some here are playing the expert card, so if another NFL GM of a successful team rates it that way, you have to give it some weight. Teams will be giving top 10 picks for Stafford and Sanchez, so they must believe their chances of being great are much better than the chances of Cassel being great. |

That is what makes this trade look so amazing. Let's just hope Cassel pans out without amazing QB coaching. |

Any word on if he signed a contract extension? I have hard time believing we'd trade for him without one.

I don't understand this point, that cassel doesn't have as high of a ceiling as stafford or sanchez (because he was a 7th round pick?) and what do we know that makes stafford or sanchez "stud QB"? I'm liking this trade for a couple reasons; we gave a #2 for a starting QB that has shown success in the NFL (and a pretty darn good LB) has already "rode the pine" to learn about the pro game, and been on a winning organization that we want to emulate. Oh-and I was more on the stafford bandwagon than the trade for cassel wagon, but I think it was a good trade. I think cassel has just as much a chance to be a stud QB for many years as stafford or sanchez does.... |

Let me get this straight - you want someone's career to be ruined - a player on OUR team at that - and we're supposed to think that's OK?

I believe we're still gonna' pull the trigger. We needed a starter, and we got one. You still have to look to the future though, and in that scenario nothing has changed; Matt and Mark are still the elite prospects, and are better than anything you'll get next year. So you draft one of them and groom them. Thigpen will be lucky to have a roster spot. If Pioli and Haley are willing to send a Pro-Bowler packing, what would make ANYONE think that Thigpen is "above the axe"? The Pats valued the position, so why wouldn't Pioli's Chiefs? Yep, I overreacted; the deal ain't done YET.
