Coogs · 09-21-2011, 02:04 PM

...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.

That's good, actually. That means they do have a clock on him, even if it's not as quick as people might like.

Yep! QB change over the bye week if things don't change.

This, I love the idea that they are at least acknowledging it now.

while they get Stanzi up to speed to even more.

We have a clear and identifiable identity: we suck..

..hopefully for Luck.

InChiefsHeaven · 09-21-2011, 02:06 PM

I wouldn't expect a move before the bye week anyway. They have to give the 60 million dollar man a chance after all...

**DaKCMan AP** · 09-21-2011, 02:09 PM

The real question is do we screw it up and make a QB change to Palko instead of Stanzi?

I expect them to bring Palko in and then if he's as bad most of us expect, they give the ball to Stanzi for the muderers row we will face starting in week 12.

If Stanzi can't even beat out Palko in practice at this point and get himself on the active gameday roster, I'm not sure how that can be construed as screwing up. Unless there's some kind of conspiracy behind it all, with 'the man' holding Stanzi down. Which I don't personally buy. They've always seemed pretty kosher with giving young players opportunities. When earned.

Palko won't last much.

Yes, because the 2 previous years haven't taught us anything about him.

If we do make the change, it will be Palko.

That's exactly why I don't care if Cassel is benched. They'll just go to Palko instead of Stanzi. Stupid.

Gotta do step 1 before you can get through step 2. If they bench Cassel based off his play, I really can't see Palko lasting the season.
