Cassel has concussion

The official word after Sunday’s loss by the Chiefs to the Ravens was that quarterback Matt Cassel is being evaluated for a head injury.

The evaluation has been completed. Per a league source, Cassel has a concussion.

And so Cassel’s status will depend on evaluations and opinions from an independent neurologist, who must clear Cassel to practice and play. Until he’s cleared, he can do neither.

There's an overhead angle that I saw on TV but haven't been able to find online yet that clearly shows his head hitting the ground, hard.

Thanks

They are talking about this everywhere. SportsRadio 1310 The Ticket out of DALLAS, TEXAS just tweeted a question about it. I responded.

How about we just assume they are and move on?

What have we really missed out on? Are either of them viable Super Bowl candidates at this point? I think not.

Whenever I want to seek another fanbase's perspective regarding Cassel, I will lurk the Patriot's message boards (since they are the only other fanbase with first-hand experience watching this prag). I don't know why I do this to myself because I always end up being pissed off at their input.

With that said, some Cassel talk that has me seething with animosity for the moment. Btw, evidently Chiefsplanet is an odd, unique combination of stupidity and venom (according to Pats fan).

IF ............... you really think Cassel is the worst QB 'in the history of the world' or whatever, then you should want him to stay on the field. It will be the best way to losing and being in a position to draft a guy like Geno Smith.

You really want Quinn to come in an eek out 3/4 wins to push us out of a high draft position?

I know, i know ... "cassel sucks ... hate cassel ... die cassel, die ... grr,grrr .."

If we are REALLY going to draft Geno, a couple of drafts spots shouldn't stop us. I don't ever want to see Cassel on the field as a Chief again. Plus it would be nice to know what we have on the bench since we know with 100% accuracy that our starter is shit.

Looks pretty much like the same mix of takes we have here really.

Except when Geno goes #1 and the team, whoever it may be, with the #1 pick doesn't even begin to take calls on trade offers, let alone think about it.

People just think you can snap your fingers and make a trade happen.

3+ years and counting.

Well...maybe AP. There are a couple posters who seem to know what's up regarding Casstration. Seems like the majority of them have a soft spot for him though, and the over-whelming majority of them do not have their facts straight regarding what our perspectives were when we hired Pioli/signed Cassel and how those perspectives have evolved to what they are now. There is a guy on there who is adamant (and directly references Chiefsplanet as his source) that the reason we never warmed up to Cassel was because all of us wanted Sanchez and we haven't been able to get the bitter taste of signing Cassel and not drafting Sanchez out of our mouths. Another guy said we have never been able to warm up to Cassel because we were starting to like "our back-up who had been starting in 2008."

ESPN crawl: Crennel still hasn't ruled Cassel out



I have to laugh at the ineptitude.

Per league source, Cassel has a vagina.

Reported on Chiefsplanet back in 2009.

That guy is hilarious.

He quoted a post where the Planeteer said, unequivocally, that the Sanchez group was a "vocal minority" and then tries to use said post to paint the entire board as people who wanted Sanchez over Cassel.
