Cassel is not Kansas City's long-term answer; time for Quinn to get a shot
I like Matt Cassel. This has nothing to do with his concussion or cheering an injury -- something that made offensive tackle Eric Winston lash out -- appropriately -- at fans. Instead, it's the reality of the NFL. Cassel is not the long-term answer for the Kansas City Chiefs. Great guy, good leader, but not a good enough quarterback. Through five mistake-filled games, Cassel is in the bottom half of the league in quarterback rating, completion percentage, yards, etc. Yet he also has a stellar running game, which should make him more efficient.

Backup Brady Quinn came in Sunday and, though it's a limited sample size, went 3-for-3 for 32 yards. It's time for more snaps from Quinn.

At 1-4, Chiefs have every reason to try something new
The one team I would look at is the Chiefs. With Matt Cassel struggling and then getting hurt, it could be time for a change in Kansas City. Besides the fact that Brady Quinn came into the game and did some positive things, Cassel is a middle-of-the-road quarterback who needs to play smart, turnover-free football to be successful. He also needs a talented cast around him.

The momentum is there for a switch in K.C. and I would do it. They're 1-4 and not playing well. If Quinn fails, they can go back to Cassel. And maybe the break would be good for him anyway.
