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.

It doesn't really matter what our schedule is since most of the schedule will be the same for every single AFC W team...

We just have to do better than all the other AFC W teams.

Still not on board. But he has been playing great.

Only him playing well in the playoffs will change my opinion. Or a great game in sd with the diviison on the line. We are paying him like a franchise qb, I want see it when it matters.

Still he is playing well beyond my expectations of him this season.

Let me get this straight. He is playing better than you expected him to, but you just cant "get on board" with that?

You know it takes a team to get in the playoffs. It also takes a team to win in the playoffs. Just like it takes a team for him to play well in November like he has.

You guys are soooo invested in your pissing and moaning about him you have fogotten to make any sense. Your credibility would be better if you had just kept your mouth shut in this instance.

Would it help if I told you that you have already been proven wrong and no matter what happens in the future with Cassel wont change that? The moaners have been cracking all month on him while he carved out the AFC player of the month for himself. That makes you wrong. Nothing that happens next month with make you right.

Can you get on baord with that?

And he if goes into a four game slump costs us four losses with 6ints then what? Sorry it seems unlike you I am not a bandwagon jumper. He needs to play at this level for awhile and against great teams for it to be norm and not the exception.

And cassel can do great and the team still lose. That would not be on him but someone else. Seems you are one of the few that take fan to fanatical. No one blamed trent when the d was bad. Still does not take away from the facts. Cassel has played the past few weeks out of his mind. Though against some bad teams. Needs to do it against good teams or in the playoffs to counter his stigma of the 2009 season.

Or like you ride the cassel train from the last four games.

Pretty much any rational fan should feel at this point. Great post, man.

How stupid. For the record, I consider myself a moderate, but tend to lean to the right on several issues.

What bandwagon am I on? You dont know squirt. You just throw it out there like you know my position. Thats a knee jerk reaction. Which in this case like many cases makes you look foolish.

If he has four bad games then he has 4 bad games. My opinion will be the same as it is now. It still hasn't changed. I am in the "let the guy develop" camp. Have been since the beginning. Not pissing and whining with each mistake or glorifying every good play. I thought he was a victim of circumstance last season with the coaching changes and the O line play. I was right about that. I thought that if he started to regain confidence in the O line he may start to look like the QB we saw in NE. Looks like I might be right about that. But we shall see.

As for your post I was simply pointing out how hypocritical it was. How you say he's playing better that you expect but you still cant give the guy a ****ing break. Nothing you said in your response has clarified that. So you're still coming off foolish. IMO

I have been pretty harsh on Cassel and I think we all had good reason. He was playing with terrible pocket prescense, his accuracy beyond 15 yards was pathetic, he stared down his WR's etc........

While he has played some soft defenses this month anyone who has watched him has to admit that everything about his game has improved from game to game this month. Now before this month I don't think so but this month he seems to really be finding a groove and if playing these cream puff defenses can get him enough rapport, timing and confidence to compete with the bigger dogs then I think we will all be happy but until we see it happen some of us are going to hold off on the Cassel parade.

Just like most of us didn't trash Cassel right from the minute he was acquired but after terrible performance after terrible performance ( What really got most of us was the end of last season how his performance seemed to get worse as our rushing game and the offense around him seemed to improve ), it is going to take a little time with consistency of his current performance for us to buy into anything.

hypocrite does not equal rational.

But Its easy to see how invested you are in your hate. Its all good. Im just different. I dont hate a single player for the Chiefs.

I also dot stomp my feet throwing a fit on opinion of players on a forum. That way, I can enjoy it when a player improves. Now thats rational, if you ask me.
