[QUOTE=AirForceChief;6992972]Well written, even handed article from Bob Gretz:
There’s one thing that Matt Cassel knows, and if he doesn’t then somebody should give him the information. Len Dawson was booed by Chiefs fans. Terry Bradshaw was booed by Steelers fans. John Elway was booed by Broncos fans. Insert name of Hall of Fame quarterback and he was booed by fans of the insert name team he played for during his career. BOOO Matt Cassel you SUCK!! Now is he going to play better like the greats did? If the greats were booed, then this right here should justify us booing him. Now history shows, if you boo your QB when he sucks on the field, he will become a HOFer. What a novel idea, thanks Gretz for this insite on how we fans can help Matt Cassel. The more we boo Matt the better he will become. LOL ok then. BOOO MATT YOU SUCK!!! has it helped yet? |

Seems there are a lot of folks here that find fault with what Gretz wrote based mainly on personal dissatisfaction of just one player.
This article is a fairly accurate depiction. Reading this several times, I tend to accept this rational best stated by this: “At this point in time, we don’t know where Matt Cassel’s future will take him or the Chiefs. There have been flashes of talent and skill that indicate he has some of the necessary qualities. There have also been moments when his failures have indicated he’s not nearly consistent enough right now to lead a team to a winning season.” When I read some postings previously about Cassel being told to stay away from the CP, I had to chuckle. They are some sage members here on the Planet, but to think that the CP is the voice of all Chiefdom is a stretch. I am not that pleased with his performance of last year or even of what I saw in preseason. But we have yet to see what he can do when not being chased all over the field with lack of an even average offensive line. Putting him behind Willie and the boys and predicting how he would compare with Green is pure folly and just a make weight argument. Some where I read “when all goes wrong, be first to fix the blame”. It is a problem of exasperation where there is loss of focus; of always wanting to win and not knowing how to accept losing; of not being able to move on the next day when today doesn’t hold enjoyment. Then there are those who love to mire in misery and actively promote it. Sometimes the CP can be a challenge when one has to wade through the sophomoric drivel of dog vapor. |

Only the mostly angry and impatient (read: I've been paying money for this $#it) part. However, in some ways I do feel that Chiefsplanet voices all of Chiefdom. It does not claim to represent any 1 section or "take" on the team yet values/respects the input of all (as long as you're not a ****ing n00b.)

We've seen him actually get worse even as the protection improved and a running game appeared to support him.

I saw what I expected from Sanchez in the regular season, a guy that shouldnt have been on the field that early. BUT when the playoffs started we saw a kid develop into a guy that helped his team make plays consistently and was pretty good in the clutch. With the additional weapons they provided him with this year, he should take another step in his career. A lot hinges on how that line plays after the management jettisoning Alan Faneca (which I think was very foolish) My hope (however unrealistic it may be) on the Clausen front is that Matt Moore locks down the starters role in Carolina and that we make a trade for Clausen next year (as their coaching staff has links to ours) or that we finally take a shot on one of the kids entering the next draft or two. I still prefer Clausen over most of them. Actually, IIRC (which isn't always the case) we traded the first rounder for the rights to Dick Vermiel because the Rams still owned his rights after he retired and then we threw them another pick in that draft (I think it was a third rounder) for Trent because he was a guy that had ran the system Dicky V was installing (air coryell) and had a lot of experience in it. |

The Chiefs traded the #12 overall to St. Louis for Trent Green. The Chiefs traded their 2001 second round pick AND their third round pick to St. Louis for Vermeil. The Chiefs received a 2001 third round pick for compensation for Schottenheimer to Washington (The Chiefs owned his rights when hired by Snyder). |

What I really want to hear when I think of my franchise QB is the word "SURVIVING."

However, and I've said this before, Sanchez should have been sat on the bench for a couple of seasons, and anyone who thinks that Sanchez is going to show any real progress this year is in for a shock. He just wasn't ready last year, and still isn't this year. Next year is when we should start to see the light go on for him.

I'm watching Detroit/Chicago right now.
Stafford makes poor reads from time to time, but MAN does he have an arm. When he knows where he wants to go, he goes there and it's a solid ****ing throw. When Matt Cassel threads a 30 yard laser like that between two defenders even ONCE this year, I will shit my pants. Not only will I shit my pants, but I'll definitely praise him in front of you all. I have never seen him make that throw. And it's one reason why it's far more attractive to be a Lions fan right now than a Chiefs fan. And that's ****ing sad, considering the plethora of high draft picks we've had in the past two years and the fact that the Chiefs never went 0 and ****ing 16 |

Garcia Thigpen Sanchez I think adding Santonio Holmes and Tomlinson (as a protector and good dump off target) are gonna be moves that help the kid. I think he will start off slow this year and by years end will be a lot more comfortable and will be playing the way he did in the playoffs. Our evaluations differ by about 9 games at this point.
