...sounds like 3 more weeks of Cassel at least.

From the Truman Sports Complex

Todd Haley said Wednesday afternoon it was too early to judge the performance of starting QB Matt Cassel, other than to say it must improve.

“Two games is too early to recognize an identity of a team,” Haley said. “We obviously need to change things here pretty quick to keep our identity from being something we don’t want it to be. It does take four or five games. The same goes for players.”

Statistically, only Jacksonville’s starting QB Josh McCown has gotten off to a worse start than Cassel. His passer rating is 50.4, a full 20 points behind the next guy above him in the league rankings. His 4.3 yards per passing attempt is the worst in the league. In 10 statistical areas for quarterbacks, Cassel’s highest ranking is No. 13 for completion percentage. Otherwise, he’s ranked 22 and below and in half of those categories, he’s ranked No. 30 or lower.

If we come close to getting Luck and miss, and he goes on to win multiple superbowls while we continue to suck, I seriously am going to leave the country. I just cannot take that. Not for 15 years.

You just know we're going to miss him by one game, where some bizzaro fluke play gives us the win. And at the time we will all say "yep, there goes our shot at Luck". Then as the season develops, the Seahawks will blow like 5 more winnable games in the most frustrating way possible. And it will just be slow motion water torture - knowing what's going to happen and that nothing on earth will prevent it. Then we'll draft some D-lineman at #2 who will go on to a mediocre 6-year career with us before we trade him for a bag of chips.

ya. then again, it may be the plan has been laid out to play all these rooks - hell even start them all season and develop them for next year while also putting Matt Cassel on the spot to either lay golden eggs or move the **** over.

They started Bailey at RDE the first game and Sabby has taken a ton of snaps. Scheffield and Houston play a ton of snaps too. Jahlil Brown is playing nickel and dime.

To me, it's beginning to shape up the guys many are calling ****tards are actually way ahead of the game.

We have seen as good as he gets and that's not nearly good enough. The fact is that Haley knows it but can't do anythinhg ablout it. He will not get better and if the management at One Arrowhead Derive told the truth they would admit they fugged up by trading for him. KC is being plain ole bull headed by keeping him on the field.

GET ME LUCK.
