Jeff Chadiha Interviewed on 810 this morning -Interesting bits about Cassel and OC

[ComfortablyNumb]

Jeff Chadiha of ESPN was interviewed on 810 this morning and had some interesting bits about Cassel:

- He revealed that Haley told him that his father, Dick Haley (famous Steelers personnel man), upon watching Cassel practice told him "I don't think you can win with this guy"

- Was told by a source within the Chiefs that he trusts that Matt Cassel was still mistakenly calling out plays using Patriots terminology...in year two

- Was told that Weiss was not a Cassel fan at all (I know this isn't new, but yet another source confirming what we already know)

- Was informed by multiple sources around the league that the Chiefs OC job is not a prime destination because of the atmosphere created by *****, lack of confidence in the staying power of Romeo and the fact that Cassel is the QB

Very depressing interview....

The more things change...

While Carl consistently showed an affinity for other teams' backups, he didn't seem to possess an emotional attachment to them, unlike the "EotD."

Nope.

Not one player.

But this isn't Madden either. If any team understands the importance of a Franchise QB, it'd be the Colts.

Yeah, I'm praying they give him the bonus money. ***** should be on the phone, the minute it's known, if that should happen.

Why would he possibly be prepared or exercise any foresight? Case in point, look at this past off-season. Its brevity and fast pace should have greatly benefited the top GMs in the league.

And how did ***** do?

Carl didn't show an emotional attachment to players? He called DT his son.

That's the kind of player you'd want him to have an attachment to. Imagine if he married Steve Bono?

Umm, you forgetting about the whole Elvis Grbac thing?

My post said "back-up QBs."

And I'm forgetting some ridiculous loving up of Grbac?

He's more concerned with trying to prove Cassel can play than actually winning games.

That's what puzzles me, what did that guy do to justify th price tag he was paid? No drew Bledsoe cannon, no Tom Brady precision or surgical ability,

Homes must be a hell of a politician.

Fat Scott is in the process of destroying this franchise.

Cassel, Romeo, the toxic environment he's created, etc.

Clark will of course stick with Fat Scott through 20+ years of mediocrity before finally making a move.

That is the Hunt way.

Hindsight is 20/20.

You act like he ignored the QB position.

He's been here 3 seasons.

He recognized Croyle and Thigpen wouldn't cut the mustard. Day one.

He gave up a 2nd rounder, not a first rounder and got TWO PLAYERS, that both happened to START.

He drafted Stanzi-LAST YEAR, less than 11 months, ago.

Two of the three years he has been here he has made a move at QB. Sorry, Stanzi wasn't a smashing success from day one, but Good Lord, give ***** a break.

Look how long Carl stuck with players like Bartee and the guy NEVER had an interception in the NFL and STARTED.

Cassel is a stop-gap and has always been. Until somebody can actually unseat him, it wasn't a bad move and made sense at the time.

[DeezNutz]

I find it ironic that he could somehow recognize that Thigpen couldn't cut it but then proceeded to acquire, essentially, the same player in Matt Cassel.

And ***** should get no slack. No break. No evaluation year. He's the highest paid GM for a reason, and we should expect like results.

Matt Cassel isn't the same player as Tyler Thigpen dude.

Cassel is a capable backup that's it. It's time to move on and find a starter end of discussion.

True, Thigpen had better instincts, likely because he played in college.
