Chiefs Will Cassel lead us to a playoff win?

I want to see what the majority of the board feels on this topic. Feel free to wait till after the Raiders game if you so choose.

Maybe next season, when the Chiefs actually become a real team again.

Next season?

It's too early to be smoking crack, isn't it?

yes ..... but prolly in two years ......

Maybe in 2-3 years,but I doubt it.He might hand it,or dump it off to a RB enough to see us in the playoffs,but I don't see him "leading" us anywhere.Sorry Cassel-ites......

Not a knock directly on Cassel, but I don't see him still being the QB by the time this team makes the playoffs. The Chiefs have to get better, some other teams have to regress, Cassel has to stay healthy and perform well enough to keep his job; oh, and then there would be that part about actually winning a playoff game.

The odds tell me no. Hopefully the odds will be defied.

You can win a lot of playoff games with a bad QB. You can even win a Super Bowl: see Trent Dilfer.

The real question is do you think Cassel has the potential to be a HOF quarterback. Teams that have one of those have the best chance of putting together a team that can consistently contend for the league championship. If the answer is no, Cassel is the wrong guy.

Yeah but the question was will Cassel lead us to a playoff win.That implies that he will be take command of the offense and be the reason we win that said playoff game.With what I've seen of Cassel so far,theres no question at all to me,the answer is no.

**Bugeater** · 11-15-2009, 09:28 AM

No, but it won't completely be his fault. This backwards-ass organization has so far to go before it can even think about sniffing a playoff berth that he likely will be retired before it happens.

What if the answer is so ****ing laughable that it's impossible even to get to the level of "**** no"?

Ebolapox · 11-15-2009, 09:38 AM

le sigh. I ****ing hope so. I'll take a playoff win. a lombardi would be even nicer, but we can't hope for much here.

The premise of this thread is flawed because Matt Cassel isn't the problem with the Chiefs.

Matt Cassel is not Peyton Mannning or Tom Brady or Drew Brees or Brett Favre or Ben Roethlisberger. He's also not JaMarcus Russell or Derek Anderson or Jake Helhomme.

He's a decent quarterback who can take you to the playoffs if he has a good supporting cast. He'll never be a Hall of Famer, but guess what: Hall of Fame quarterbacks don't come along every day. Anyone who spends his time obsessing about Matt Cassel is completely missing the point: the Chiefs have to get A LOT BETTER at 21 other positions before they can even think about making the playoffs. They've already addressed the quarterback position for the foreseeable future. Deal with it.

Would I have preferred to see them draft Sanchez? Yes. But there's no guarantee that Sanchez or any other rookie will lead you to the promised land. Pioli picked Cassel. It's a hell of a lot more important now for him to build a team around him than to constantly second guess the quarterback decision.
