Chiefs Cassel 24th out of 29 quarterbacks in downfield passing.

Hammock Parties · 05:26 AM

We debated Cassel's downfield passing in another thread earlier this week. I said I would wait for the splits to get updated before I compared him to the rest of the league, and here are the results (completion percentage, TD/INT):

Cassel is 24th out of 29 quarterbacks in the NFL in completion percentage on pass attempts over 10 yards.

I threw out the names in red because they have fewer than 40 attempts.

Henne - 58.6 1/1
Rivers - 54.5 7/5
Schaub - 54.4 4/4
Fitzpatrick - 54.3 7/3
Romo - 51.7 4/2
E. Manning - 50.6 8/4
Young - 50.0 6/1
Kolb - 50.0 2/2
Flacco - 49.4 10/4
Ryan - 49.3 7/2
P. Manning - 48.4 8/1
Rodgers 48.3 10/8
Orton - 47.5 7/3
Favre - 46.9 5/6
Palmer - 46.5 4/3
Garrard - 46.4 4/5
Hasselbeck - 45.2 3/3
Anderson - 45.1 1/2
Bradford - 45 5/5
Sanchez - 44.8 6/2
Cutler - 43.2 3/4
McNabb - 42.8 5/
Brady - 42.0 4/4
Cassel - 41.5 4/2
Brees - 41.4 4/5
Smith - 40.2 4/3
Wallace - 38.2 3/0 (34 att)
Moore - 38.2 3/5 (34 att)
Gradkowski 38.1 2/4
Freeman - 34.2 3/2
Clausen - 30.4 1/1 (23 att)
Hill - 29.5 4/2
Campbell - 25.8 1/2 (22 att)

For comparison, Cassel's downfield passing history:

2009 - 38.8 percent, 8 TD, 13 INT
2008 - 40.2 percent, 12 TD, 8 INT

Notes:

1. Jason Campbell and Bruce Gradkowski suck. We have no business losing to the Raiders.

2. Brees will bump Cassel to 25th in short order.

3. Sanchez, bitches!!!

4. Flacco is a ****ing stud.

5. Impressed by Chad Henne and fearful of Fitzpatrick.

Brees is vastly overrated. He will have a good... (on occasion great) season and then invariably follow it up with a dud!

I'd settle for a SuperBowl win then a dud. I mean, I guess I probably would.

They're lucky Lord Favre lost his mind when he did. Ah well... such is life.

**jAZ** · 10-28-2010, 10:03 PM

Damn, it sure does suck to have a QB who's wedged right there between Brees and Brady.

Only in a Matt Cassel bashing thread on Chiefsplanet could someone call Drew Brees overrated one year after he wins the Super Bowl.

Where's 2003 where he sat five games behind Flutie?

Look at the interceptions, BUT that isn't the whole story. Find some stats for Red Zone interceptions please.

**petegz28** · 10-28-2010, 10:12 PM

Whatever, it is what it is. And right now it is Cassel ahead of Brees and behind Brady.

Brees enjoys the support of the 26th ranked running game.

By the way, Brady leads the NFL's top-ranked scoring offense. I'm fairly certain the credit doesn't go to BenJarvus Green-Ellis or Danny Woodhead.

You rather talk about Jay Cutler?

I think you have a chance if you invoke the awful birthmark on his face. That thing is hideous.
