Chiefs How much time are you going to give Cassel to "Develop"?

**Buehler445** · 05-03-2009, 10:07 AM

Prior to last season, we discussed in depth last year what it would take to develop Brodie last year. There was all sorts of discussion about whether Chiefs fans were patient enough to develop a franchise QB. IIRC the general consensus was a year to a year and a half for a 3rd year guy with no starts.

What we have in Cassel is a young guy. Whether you like it or not. He's going into his 5th season, but he only has 15 starts. I think he most certainly qualifies as a young guy, and I hope he still has more improvement before he peaks.

So how long do we give him before we move on?

OTAs.

**Bugeater** · 05-03-2009, 10:09 AM

1 preseason game.

**Buehler445** · 05-03-2009, 10:09 AM

I think my take on it is we'll see where we are at the end of the year. I'm hoping they don't sign him to a long term contract and we can see what he does this year. They can franchise him prior to FA and then we can negotiate a deal.

Develop?

It's go time!

OK, not really.

As you said, he is in his fifth year, and had a full season of games, so he needs to show he's on the right path this season.

He should already be playing at a HOF level.

But Sanchez gets 14 years.

Sanchez gets two years, just like Cutler.

We went with the "proven commodity" for the Kansas City Chiefs, so to put it bluntly:

"Time to make the donuts mother****er, and we're all hungry for breakfast".

Eh, I was being facetious, although I don't really think he should need all that much time to "develop" per se. So while I won't have much patience for "rookie type" mistakes, some consideration has to be given for his lack of a supporting cast.

He's 27. If last year wasn't enough to "develop" him, then trading for him was an epic failure by Pioli. That doesn't mean I'll throw him away if we struggle on offense early on this year, but it better not be because Cassel is developing. We need to "develop" just about everything else.

I agree with everything in this post. Exactly.

2 years to fully develop.

**The Bad Guy** · 05-03-2009, 10:13 AM

I'd give him one season to get completely comfortable with the supporting cast and Haley's offense.
