That guy needs to learn how to slide when he scrambles. He does seem to have a nice touch on short/med routes as well.

Anyone else watching?

Meh, the more i see of Cassel the less impressed i am with him. Lots of handoffs and short passes, any pass beyond 10 yards is shaky..

Yup...I'm almost 100% sure he's going to get taken out of a game because he'll take a hit rather than slide. At least he's not a nancy boy!

Cassel just made a fucking AWESOME TD throw. A rocket thrown in the perfect spot to a guy who was covered when he released the ball.

And that ball had some ZIP on it. I'm talking MIRACLE WHIP!

Is the same garbage they said about Brady in 2001 and 2002. He had a weak arm. But I'd watch him game after game zipping it in there. Same with Cassel. His arm is just fine.

It's not like looking at Croyle's throw's (when he did play.) And go...shit!!! But it's not bad, but not great either.

His pats receivers make him look pretty good. It looks like he's got good pocket presence though. He's pretty elusive in the backfield.

He had a nice scrample, a horrible overthrown ball to Moss on a deep route and then tried to scramble for another first and fell short there. With more experience and time to work on getting his accuracy on the deep ball he could make a lot of people look foolish on here.

I don't see that at all. Garcia is like 6-1 and 200 lbs, maybe.

Cassel is very unique, IMO. There are not many 6-4, 230lbers with his kind of foot speed. His mobility is a little reminiscent of Ben Roethlisberger, perhaps.

This game is the perfect answer to people who thinl last years Patriots were a 16-0 team if Brady was there and that somehow Cassel played them down to 11-5.
As you can see their defense is not good. 3 other of the losses the defense sucked too. Only the Colt loss would have been different. For a kid to step in after not playing and take the team to almost where Brady would have showed something.

There is nothing wrong with Cassel. He was a monumental pick up and gives us a chance for the future. He's got the physical tools, cool in the pocket and can make sound decisions on where to go with the ball. Build the defense and give him a ground game and we will be back in the playoffs.

Careful. There are those here who don't want the Chiefs to go to playoffs unless there is a gaurantee from God almighty that for sure they will win the Super Bowl. If you can't be 100 percent absoltely sure that they will definately win the Super Bowl they consider the playoffs a bad thing to be avoided at all costs because it might cost them a couple of spots in the draft.

Of course you bring up the extreme just squeek in scenario. How about your 11-5 or 12-4 team such as the 2000 Ravens, 2001 Patriots,2005 Steelers,2007 Giants who people didn't think were "worthy" going into the playoffs but got hot and went all the way.

I NEVER SAID IT WAS EASY. Obviously, the odds are stacked against you with 9 wins. Look what happened to the Pats at 16-0. Its never easy. As far as 8 wins goes, I think the minimum wins for a playoff birth should be 9.

I'm not a 'True Fan'. BTW, what difference does it make what record the Chiefs have if they make the play-offs? Granted, the odds are not good to go all the way with 9 wins, they weren't good for the Steelers a few yrs ago when they were the 6th seed at 10-6.

The Steelers have won the Super Bowl twice this decade, in 2005 and 2008. In 2008, they had 12 wins. In 2005, they had 11 wins. Only the Giants have won with 10 wins this decade:

To me, it's about intangibles. Can your QB bring a team together, and lead? The world is short on gifted, well rounded QB's like Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.

You look at Trent Green as the perfect example. He wasn't overly athletic, and his arm was average at best. But his teammates respected him, and Green put in the work to make himself better, and building relationships with his teammates. I see a lot of Green in Cassel. However, Cassel is much more physically gifted than Green.

The bottom line is that this team is a work in progress. Haley needs to get Cassel a couple more weapons, and Cassel needs a bit of time to get to know the offense. This team is far from done being built.

This. Like I said before, I'll know where the Pioli/Haley Chiefs stand in terms of where they can go and what they're capable of at the end of year three.

As far as Cassel goes, if he is as good as or even better than Gannon; there's really nothing to complain about. I don't want to start yet another tired debate about Green vs Gannon, but it is what it is, and Rich was the better guy. Definitely better at evading the pass-rush and throwing on the run. Cassel can do that too from what I've seen, and God knows he'll get plenty practice at it this year, so I hope he just grows with the team and gets better and better.

I don't know how I truely feel about Cassel at this point. He may only be a step above Thig. We'll see. I'm rooting for him.

I dont agree IIRC I read someplace that there was only a .14 correlation between a teams regular-season record and its playoff record. Let me see if I can find that study.

With Cassel, it's all about the starts and the reps. For a guy who practically warmed a bench his whole career, he had an amazing season last year.

We know he's intelligent enough to work a sophisticated system, and we know he's got leadership abilities.
Now, it's about how much further can he grow? What is his ceiling in all phases of the position? This is what we will be finding out over the next two seasons.

Interesting article, Mr. Dragon. He was trucking along pretty good until he stubbed his own toe replying to questions;


Home field advantage is a confounding element because it is based on playoff seeding, which is tied closely to regular season records. Home teams won 52 of 80 playoff games, or 65%. That is higher than the regular season home team win rate of about 60%.

The win rate of 65% for teams with a better record and the 65% home team win rate suggest that regular season records do mean something in the playoffs.

At least he's honest. Good read, and Rep!

So again. Please explain to me how not making the playoffs is better than making the playoffs.

He had a nice scrample, a horrible overthrown ball to Moss on a deep route and then tried to scramble for another first and fell short there. With more experience and time to work on getting his accuracy on the deep ball he could make a lot of people look foolish on here.

WATCH THAT play again 10 yards downfield moss was grabbed and jerked off route

I saw it. If Moss would have been able to keep running he would have caught it.

About as many as it takes for you to jump in to a legitimate conversation in this thread and piss me off?
