Chiefs Cassel is NOT Failing Chiefs [Archive]

He just had a really bad game. Damn chicken littles.

Trent looked like shit his first year here too.

He got to play behind some damn good players on his offensive line had Priest at RB, Richardson at FB, and both Gonzo and Kennison to throw to.

Trent had barely a better completion percentage but did throw for 1100 more yards than Matt is projected to.

Was gives me hope for Matt is the TD/INT ratio as well as the sack numbers.

Trent, while having a monstrous line and a bevy of receivers to throw to, threw 4 fewer touchdowns and 11 more interceptions than Matt is projected to.

Matt is projected to have better td to int numbers than Trent did despite being on track to be sacked 61 times and having no one to throw to other than the inconsistent (holy shit what a catch in the end zone today though) Dwayne Bowe.

Oh yeah, the guy is mobile too. Matt is projected to have double the yards Trent did at a better average.

Matt's projected stats vs Trent's first year (2001)

*added Len Dawson for ChiefsCountry (Len's 1962 stats are for a 14 season game. I used average times 16 to come up with the stats)

Matt - 13
Len - 17

Sacks:

Len - 43

Rushing Yards:

Matt Cassel's TD/Int ratio is artificially propped up by multiple garbage time scores, and the fact that he'd rather take a sack than throw the ball downfield.

I planned on giving him a pass this year regardless...

If the drafturbators want to ignore how terrible this offense is, then so be it...

I'll give the organization another offseason to figure things out and Cassel another season before I start freaking out...

He played terrible, he missed several open passes downfield...he is still playing behind a terrible offensive line that would make any QB feel uneasy dropping back...plain and simple.

The year Brady threw 50 TD's...go watch the replays on those throws...on that season...no one got CLOSE to Brady...he had all day in the pocket...picture what Philip Rivers had today against the Chiefs, multiply it by 2, and that's the kind of time Brady had in 2007.

That being said, I tabbed out after his 3rd pick and went home...watched the afternoon games on two HD tv's at home in my living room...one was on Red Zone, which is totally badass...6 hours of commercial free football...they flip from game to game and show every single score...and when no one is in the gold zone, they just play the most interesting games...it's not in HD, but it is a badass secondary football program on Sundays...

and if you guys want to see how mobile helps a QB...you should have watched Romo today...he was amazing.

His TD pass to Crayton...avoiding that blitz...that was something only 1 or 2 QB's in the league can do. I hope Cassel can develop into a QB as good as Romo...but I don't think he has the quick release or the deep accuracy to ever be quite as good.

Personally, I would rather he take a sack than throw the ball down field on a wing and a prayer and hope it doesn't get intercepted.

Also, it's not his fault his receivers are dropping balls left a right. At some point in time the guy is going to need help or we are going to ruin him.

I'd take a 27 year old Trent Green for a 2nd round pick 100 times out of 100...

Trent Green could have won a Super Bowl with this team...easily.

Our defense failed us...the fact people lay those failures on his shoulders is amazing to me.

Cassel is never going to be Peyton Manning...he's not going to be a guy who wins games because he's an all-time talent.

But, if you surround him with talent, a la Trent Green, he can win games. He proved that on the Pats last year when he got better as the season progressed.

There are really three or four NFL QB's that are truly elite...if you wouldn't take a 27 year old Trent Green for #34 overall...you're nuts.

Our problem right now isn't Matt Cassel...yeah, he played bad...we know that.

Our #1 problem is the amazing lack of talent we have on this team...and I don't know how we're going to fix that in the next 2 years but we'll fucking see I guess.

10-26-2009, 12:10 AM

Decent! Such ambition we have for Matty Ice.

It's so annoying that people throw Trent under the bus...

Was he an all-pro talent? Absolutely not.

Had Rodney Harrison not delivered that cheap shot to him when he was with the Rams...would he have most likely won a Super Bowl that year just like Kurt Warner? I sure think so.

The guy was great when he had talent around him...sure, he had an all-world offensive line that gave him all the time in the world to make throws...and you know what? He made them. He was great.

I love how Tom Brady had the same exact treatment has Trent Green in 2007 and no one seems to notice...

Please...when the Pats were beating everyone by 28+ week in and week out...go watch some of the replays...Tom Brady was the NFL version of Sam Bradford last year...no defensive player came within 5 yards of him on every pass.

He made 2003 Trent Green look like he was facing 2009 Matt Cassel pressure.

Which is why the year Peyton threw for 49 TD's (without running up the scores, mind you) will always be a better season than Brady's FU season that was full of running up the score and 1st and goal from the 1 PA stat padding TD passes...plus, he has the QB rating to prove it.

Hit the open ****er.

I understand and accept that. At that level they simply have to hit a guy if he is as wide open as Charles was. No excuse.

You have to understand that this guy has taken as many hits in 6 games as some QBs take all season.

If it were not for his mobility, his offensive line would be exposed for even bigger frauds than they already are... Waters included.

He has no help at the TE, RB, or FB position and he is playing with a carousel at WR and an even bigger one at O-Line. How in the hell can he ever get comfortable with that?

we're just so flawed offensively we have no shot...

Our best shot today was the Herm R2P2...but we couldn't even do that because before you knew it, it was 14-0...so it would appear as if we were waiving the white flag...

Any time we fall down by 14...we're going to look even worse than we are...because in no way is this offense built to watch Cassel throw 35 passes that need to be 10+ yards...he doesn't have the time, and he surely doesn't have the confidence in our pass protection...

our chance to win today was to pound the rock, and at no point in this game was that even an option, because we were down right away...

At no point in my viewing experience was I excited to be watching the game...which makes me sad to be a fan.

I liked Trent Green, great guy - tough SOB down to earth. Loved the guy to death while he was a Chief. But he wasn't a franchise QB. He just wasn't. He put up great fantasy numbers but we couldn't win, especially the big one. I don't want another Trent Green, I want antother Len Dawson. Thats the guy we need to be comparing Cassel to.

Trent Green wasn't a winner? What does that even mean?

What could he have done differently in KC to be a winner? I'm very curious.

The teams were VERY flawed, and everyone knows it was the defense.

His one playoff game with the Chiefs...

Did he drop that perfect pass to Morton?

Did he miss that FG?

Did he fumble that long run?

What exactly did Trent Green do that made you think he was incapable of winning the big game?

Yes, I agree...Trent Green didn't have all-pro talent. He did capably, very capably, run an all-pro offense and achieved great success.

It's not his fault that Vermeil and Peterson ignored the defense.

I just can't get over this bullshit Trent Green bashing. Labeling him as a QB that couldn't win the big one is fucking retarded, considering his flawed teams never gave him the chance to be in that situation.

The Chiefs couldn't give him that chance in the playoffs in 2003...

His winning percentage in Kansas City was .544 percent. He was basically an 8-8 QB for us. He was 0-2 in the playoffs. At his best he was barely a top 10 QB in the NFL, that isn't going to cut it to a Super Bowl - which should be our damn goal if not we are a ****ed up fanbase.

I would like to see any QB with less mobility than Michael Vick do well under that wet paper sack we call an OLine.

I honestly thought it could not be worse than with Sampson and Black defending their dinner plates from outsiders better than the QB, I was wrong.

I honestly think Green was the result of the best OLine in football in probably a decade. Now position by position, I think there are better players than Wiegmann, Shields, Roaf, and Waters, but overall there was none better in the nfl during their tenure on Arrowhead field.

Green was adequate and thought well behind the front four, but he was a product of his unheralded OLine as many QBs truly are.

Look, the two most important stats for QBs are yards per attempt, and int %. Cassel's yards per attempt is historically bad, but it's hard to put too much blame on him when our yards per run is beyond bad also. Both numbers are symptomatic of a terrible offensive line. I don't blame Cassel, but to say that our passing game has been anything other than a total joke is sticking your head in the sand. How much of the problem of it is Cassel -- I think it's way to early to tell.

Uh.. by definition going to the pro-bowl is more than "barely top 10"

I really don't know what more Trent could have done to improve our game either. Herm ruined the offense, but we had arguably the best offense in the NFL under Vermeil and that was with Trent starting.

Trent Green is arguably the best QB KC has ever had. If it weren't for a knee injury with the Rams and a HORRID KC defense, Green could arguably have been a two time Super Bowl winner.

I could only hope that Cassel gets to be on par with Trent Green. Green in his prime with KC was every bit good enough to lead a team to a Super Bowl. Unfortunately as good as his offense was, the defense was just as bad if not worse.

For those that say Green was a product of his O Line....then so was Priest Holmes. Holmes shouldn't get half the respect that he does if all it was was the O Line.

The bottom line is that it takes time to develop a QB, and it takes a group effort on O to make a QB successful. The O Line HAS to be better, the RB's need to better, the WR's have to be better, and Matt Cassel needs to better. That being said, you are blind if you don't think Cassel has what it takes to be a potential stud for the next 8+ years in KC.

Great. Another guy who needs Hall of Fame talent on the offensive line to be productive and a Hall of Fame tight end and the best running back in football to have huge numbers.

JFC.

How about this, instead? I guy who puts the team on his back for a win. A guy who drives his team down the field in the 4th quarter, runs out the clock with a victory. TRUE Franchise Quarterback instead of a fucking game manager.

For those that say Green was a product of his O Line....then so was Priest Holmes. Holmes shouldn't get half the respect that he does if all it was was the O Line.

Bullshit. Priest Holmes was a 1,000 yard rusher with the Ravens. He had plenty of respect.

People around the league didn't trust his body to hold up, which most certainly was an issue.

The bottom line is that it takes time to develop a QB

Huh?

Cassel's 27 years old. How long before he's "developed"? 2 years? 3 years? 4 years?

and it takes a group effort on O to make a QB successful. The O Line HAS to be better, the RB's need to better, the WR's have to be better, and Matt Cassel needs to better.

The only way this offensive line improves is with three to four different players. The only way the running backs and wide receivers improve is with different players.

These assholes are maxed out. You're not going to "get more" from Niswanger, Goof, O'Callaghan or Waters. You're not going to "make" Bobby Wade or Mark Bradley anything more than what they are now. LJ is DONE. Savage is a joke. Charles is a special teamer and occasional third down back.

This team needs more talent. Period.

Green put up better stats but he wasn't the better QB. Montana took a 10-6 average team basically to AFC Championship Game. If hadn't gotten hurt during the season, more than likely we have homefield advantage and don't have to go to freaking Buffalo for that game.

Just look at these numbers when Montana started and then Krieg:
Montana 8-3 21.8 per game offensive/17.3 per game
Krieg 3-2 17.6 per game offensive/20 per game defense (those numbers are sort of out of whack bc of the 30-0 Houston game)
http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/kan/1993.htm

The Chiefs played better as a whole when Montana was the QB. Thats the real bottom line, can a QB raise his team's play around him.

Now Montana was a short term move for the Chiefs, similar to what Minnesota is doing this year very similar teams actually. Just imagine how sick our defense would have been with Dana Stubblefield with DT, Neil, Big Dan, Carter, etc. That was who San Fran took with that pick but that is for a different thread.

No, but I think that if BB wanted Trent Green to throw for 40+ TD passes for the 2007 New England Patriots, he easily could have and the team could have been 14-2, 15-1 or even 16-0.

Seriously...I know Tom Brady is a big name and a great QB...but I really want some people to watch some of those 2007 games and just pay attention to the amount of time Tom Brady had to throw the ball...it was like a 7 on 7 drill with Tom wearing a red jersey...no one friggin' touched the guy...until the Super Bowl...and we all saw what happened once he experienced some pressure (18-1)

Cassell has been pretty bad, and frankly I think he makes it even harder on his O-Line than it needs to be because he holds the ball too long and has happy feet. Until this week he hasn't shown a willingness to go downfield... and after how terrible those passes were I guess we know why.

No he doesn't.

The reason he holds on to the ball so long, as people claim, is that on half of the plays the protection breaks down immediately and flushes him out of the pocket. Once your QB starts moving, it takes away half of your reads and forces your receivers to adjust their routes.

Watch how many times a game he has a defender in his face within 3 seconds. It's embarrassing. He doesn't hold onto the ball too long. Yesterday, I became concerned about his accuracy issues, but this BS claim that he's held on to the ball too long in KC has got to stop. The only reason people say it is because he did it in New England. How can anyone say he holds onto the ball too long when on over half of the snaps, the pressure is in his face within 3 seconds?

makes no sense to me, maybe he should throw the ball in 2, well maybe thats some of the reason he doesnt go downfield much. he doesnt have time or passing lanes to see downfield.

I never agreed with that, but I think I saw some of that yesterday. He throws very well on his intermediate routes, when he has time (except yesterday). The deeper ball is one he seems to loft a bit.

What's shitty is that this is something that I think he could correct with some work. But the dumbasses at One Arrowhead decided he doesn't need a QBs coach. Fuck me.

Hootie

10-26-2009, 03:51 PM

you morons crack me up...

Lets just reference the 2003 playoff game against the Colts...

In that game, I remember three pivotal plays that prevented the Chiefs from winning on offense.

A 3rd and 5 WIDE OPEN, PERFECT PASS drop in the red zone by Johnnie Morton right before halftime that prevented a potential tie-game touchdown going into half...

and then, on 4th and 5...right before half, Morton Andersen misses a 30 yard field goal on that same drive right before half...

and then, on the 1st or 2nd drive in the 2nd half...reliable Priest breaks off a 60 yard run and caps it off with a lost fumble.

Then we lose 38-31, literally stop the Colts offense ZERO times...

and since we lost, TRENT GREEN IS A LOSER QB AND COULD NEVER WIN THE BIG ONE!

Hahahahahaha!

What the fuck could he have done that game to be a winner? He didn't even get the chance to get the ball back with a SECOND to try and tie the game once it was 38-31...the Colts picked up a first down and then sat on the ball.

Here's a FACT about the Chiefs and Trent Green:

For three years (2003, 2004, 2005), the Chiefs with Trent Green had an offense that was capable of winning the Super Bowl, and an offense that could beat any team on any given day, an offense that could carry one of the worst defenses ever assembled.

When someone explains to me how Trent Green had something to do with our lack of success during his tenure, I'll shut up.

The people like Dane who call the Green and Roaf trade bad trades because we didn't win a playoff game or the Super Bowl...they are nuts. Insane. At least we had a playoff caliber team...and in 2003 and 2005, we really had a Super Bowl caliber team that was a few bounces away from potentially making some noise. Remember 2005 when the Steelers snuck into the playoffs and won the Super Bowl? Exactly. We had a team that year that could potentially beat anyone...we win that Dallas game that we should have won, and would have won 19 times out of 20, we were in...

Either way...6 years of pro bowl caliber QB play for a middle 1st round pick wasn't a bad trade...shit, we drafted DJ with the 15th overall and have gotten 4 years of inconsistent sucking...

The thing the drafturbators don't fucking get is...even a 1st round pick is a coin flip...for every NFL team.

The best round in the draft is literally a coin flip...the 2nd round is like getting heads two times out of three...3rd round getting heads three times out of four...

Sure, the best teams are great at these coin flips...

Great. Another guy who needs Hall of Fame talent on the offensive line to be productive and a Hall of Fame tight end and the best running back in football to have huge numbers.

Let's take a look at sack numbers for the Super Bowl Winning QB's the past 10 years. Keep in mind that Matt is on pace for 61 sacks.

09-10 - Matt Cassel - 23 Sacks - 27 rushes for 126 yards (through 6 games)
08-09 - Ben Roethlisberger - 46 Sacks - 34 rushes for 101 yards
07-08 - Eli Manning - 27 Sacks - 29 rushes for 69 yards
06-07 - Peyton Manning - 14 Sacks - 23 rushes for 36 yards
05-06 - Ben Roethlisberger - 23 Sacks - 31 rushes for 69 yards
04-05 - Tom Brady - 26 Sacks - 43 rushes for 28 yards
03-04 - Tom Brady - 32 Sacks - 42 rushes for 63 yards
02-03 - Brad Johnson - 21 Sacks - 13 rushes for 30 yards
01-02 - Tom Brady - 41 Sacks - 36 rushes for 43 yards
00-01 - Trent Dilfer - 23 Sacks - 20 rushes for 75 yards
99-00 - Kurt Warner - 29 Sacks - 23 rushes for 92 yards

We don't need HOF talent to make Cassel a legit QB. We need SOME talent to give the guy time to set up his throws.

The guy has already been sacked nearly as many times as these SB winners did in their entire season. Through 6 games he has rushed for more yards than any of the SB winners did the entire season.

If not for Cassel's mobility, the offensive line would have let him get sacked a ton more times. With the exception of Ben, we would likely have gotten each QB listed above killed behind our current O-Line.

We need a minimum of 3 players on the offensive line (C, RG, RT) before we can even begin to complain about Cassel and deriding the guy for being unable to put the team on his shoulders.

They also moved him to Shotgun full time as well. When Cassel has played his best for the Chiefs its when he has just let it go and forced the issue. Dallas game late, the Oakland game late. I think he might be actually be a better fit in a WCO system.

I just meant that when you watch a guy like Carson Palmer throw a deep ball, it falls on a rope.

When Cassel throws a deep ball, you can tell he's trying to ease it into the right spot.

I agree with the assessment that he doesn't have confidence in his deep ball. That doesn't mean it can't improve. Tom Brady threw a lousy deep ball early in his career. He worked his ass off with a QBs coach to work on his technique and it paid huge dividends.

Dude I knew about Len Dawson way before I every signed up here. My dad and grandpa told me all about him and how great he was. History proves he is a stud and best QB in Chiefs history by far. I really don't give a damn about Dane or Hamas or what anybody has to think.

I also proved that Trent Green was an 8-8 QB for the Chiefs. That is average, he put up great fantasy stats and was a system QB but he wasn't outstanding. He didn't make the Chiefs a Super Bowl contender, the 2003 team acutally overachieved. That should have been a 11-5 team. Like I said before I like Trent Green, he was my favorite Chief since DT died. Great guy, tough SOB but he wasn't the best Chiefs QB, he wasn't as even good as Montana was in his two seasons here.

How about this Hootie:

Say we beat the Colts. Do you really think we beat NE on the road the next week, in the year that they had their best team overall?

I didn't realize that winning in the divisional round=winning the big one. Maybe that's why we're in the position we're in.

Do I? No, no I don't...

However, I think we were better equipped to beat the Patriots than the Colts.

But this is beside the point...

The point was...Trent Green was never in position with this team to "not be a winner"...

For three straight years Trent Green led an offense that was one of the all-time great offenses in NFL history.

I referenced the one playoff game where Trent Green was still in his prime and literally had nothing to do with that loss...all he did was play an exceptional football game.

And we can call him 0-2 with the Chiefs, technically he was, but I'm pretty sure a 28 year old Joe Montana would have lost to the Colts with Dungy's ball fondler coaching on our sideline. That game was over before it started.

Then, you "lump" several members posts together. WTF?

Trent Green was an average QB. Period. He was a system guy that was weak and feeble behind nothing less than a Hall Fame filled offensive line. It happened to him in St. Louis and it happened to him in Kansas City.

IF Dick Vermeil wouldn't have been on such a power hungry, ego trip the Chiefs would still have their QB today: Drew Brees.

Instead, Vermeil wanted to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was HE, not Mike Martz, who brought the offense to the '99 squad.

In 2000...the ONLY YEAR Trent Green got any time with the "GREATEST SHOW ON TURF"...16 TD's and 5 INT's...that same year Warner started 11 games and had 21 TD's and 18 INT's and folks in St. Louis felt strongly enough about Trent Green that there was a QB controversy that season...

so you're saying the Chiefs would have taken Brees #12 overall...but since they didn't, he fell to the 2nd round?

How do you know we would have taken Brees? That seems like a pretty "out there" assumption.

Vermeil and Saunders liked Brees quite a bit and considered them with their first pick. He was on their draft board at #12.

Secondly, Brees fell to the first pick of the second round, #32 overall (there were only 31 teams in the league at that point).

If the Falcons could go back and get a do over, I'm sure they would have let the Chargers take Vick at #1, kept their #5, taken LT, and then waited for Brees at #36!

I don't, however, know how that would have changed the fact we still have one of the worst teams I've ever seen.

This is part of a giant snowball delivered by yours truly, Carl Peterson...and it's going to take another year or two before we can't start judging anything Pioli does if you ask me...

I think you're wrong.

First off, the NFL Draft has passed and Chase Daniel wasn't selected. So that in itself tells you that Drew Brees was considered to be far more talented.

As for Colt McCoy, I honestly don't have enough information about him to make a judgment. In the few times I've seen him, he has good size and athleticism but I haven't seen him enough nor do I know if he's intelligent enough to make the transition to a pro-style offense.

Secondly, one of my closest friends, who played cornerback at a D-I school in the mid-90's decided to go back to school to get his MBA at Purdue.

For two years, he raved to me about Drew Brees and got me on the bandwagon. I was a big fan and advocate of Brees and mentioned him on the 'Planet quite a bit. There were radio interviews at the time with Al Saunders raving about Brees. I really thought he'd be the guy.

So why don't you shut the **** up, okay? You clearly don't know what you're talking about and quite frankly, I'm sick your "lumping" everyone together just to make some kind of shit point.

And BTW, Carson Palmer sucked yesterday.

For two years, MU fans raved about Chase Daniel...

Of course the dude raved about Drew Brees...he went to Purdue for god's sake.

The fact is...he's the exact QB Mecca says is destined for NFL failure...but now, one of the drafturbators is talking about how we really screwed the pooch by not taking Brees 20 spots before he actually went 8 years ago!

Palmer was great yesterday...he was shit the week before...show me some consistency, Carson Palmer!

On the other hand, Tony Romo...

You're right though, I did underrate Carson Palmer...Ocho looks awesome and Ceddy Bens looks better than anyone not named Adrian Peterson...

Can't be right every time...(still don't think the Bengals top 8-8)...the Bears are worse with Cutler...he has totally made Forte ineffective.

Yeah, and I told everyone in the offseason that the Broncos would be better off with Orton and the picks than with Cutler. Cutler hasn't had a winning season since high school. That's some heavy duty karma.

The problem with your analysis in nearly each and every case, Hootie, is that you go off of emotion and not off of logic or fact.

Dude, give it a rest. I complained about it then, as well. I complained about passing on Aaron Rodgers over Derrick Johnson.

Chase Daniel is an undrafted free agent that signed with the Redskins. If he has the talent to make it in the NFL, he will but to date, no one besides the Redskins is willing to give him a shot.

And no one spent a draft choice on him.

Yeah, probably, whatever.

If we got a 27 year old Trent Green for a 2nd round pick and $27M guaranteed...how could you not be happy?

If he needs to be surrounded with talent to be successful...

THEN SURROUND HIM WITH TALENT.

Jesus.

Tom Brady was surrounded by more talent in 2007 than any QB in NFL history. He could spin around on a baseball bat for 20 seconds, get super dizzy, fall down a few times, stand back up, get non-dizzy, and then hit Randy Moss who would make some circus catch in the end zone with no hands and an elbow for a 60 yard TD.

You seemed like a decent guy the first few weeks in the game day chat, then the racist shit occurred, not once but twice.

Then, you "lump" several members posts together. WTF?

Trent Green was an average QB. Period. He was a system guy that was weak and feeble behind nothing less than a Hall Fame filled offensive line. It happened to him in St. Louis and it happened to him in Kansas City.

IF Dick Vermeil wouldn't have been on such a power hungry, ego trip the Chiefs would still have their QB today: Drew Brees.

Instead, Vermeil wanted to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was HE, not Mike Martz, who brought the offense to the '99 squad.

I'd take Drew Brees ANY FUCKING DAY OF THE WEEK over TrInt Green.

I'm waiting for Norv to watch one fucking tape of 2006 and realize he can get 3-5 EASY TD's PER YEAR by running an LT sweep/HB pass...LT runs that play so perfectly it's an easy TD every time. They've ran it one time since Norv took over as coach...and have 1 TD.

The thing that is so fucking pathetic about you is that you know nothing, you admit it in many other arguments, and then you enter into others expecting to have credibility. When presented with counterveiling evidence, you simply lie, or you assume that because you lie, that everyone else does (since as a sociopath, you see nothing wrong with it).

You're a fucking fool, plain and simple, and everyone who reads your posts sees you as such. You are currently arguing that a team that is in the bottom quarter of the league is a good run defense.

You know why? Because I watched the games.

Yards gained via the run are yards gained. Especially when you are running out the clock. The D can stack the line. If anything, you should give up fewer YPA.

Yards and TDs gained when down by 30 and facing a Cover 4 mean nothing, because the defense is giving you huge chunks of the field in exchange for eating up the clock.

But again, since you are more focused on raping the white trash waitress at your local Road House than watching the game, you don't know this.

Do you just make up all the shit you post?

OMG

Yeah...Norv is a great coach...he's taken Marty's team and they have gotten progressively worse.

Ok, sure...they lucked into the AFC Championship game...yaaay.

At no point did anyone really think the Chargers had a chance at the Super Bowl.

Apparently you don't watch the games, eh?

We stuff the run...we consistently, and ONLY, get stops when the opponent runs the ball.

But hey, reference a stat because you can't formulate your own opinions...

We shut down the Redskins on the ground...Portis had one 80 yard run that throws off the stats.

We only got stops against the Ravens when they ran the ball...and then our defense spent so much time on the field Rice tore them apart in the 4th quarter...skewed the stats.

Dallas had 1 good run against us...

Our defense is solid against the run, and terrible against the pass...of course when an offense softens up our defense with the passing game, the running game opens up.

Our defense is ass backwards...teams pass against us to get the running game going late.

But hey, reference your statbook, genius LMAO

Regarding what's in bold:

DV approves this message. "If we'd only prevented those 3 big plays..."

Nonsense. Choice killed us to the tune of 11.5 YPC. And if Dallas had utilized him instead of an injured Barber, we would have been embarrassed.

THAT'S what I was referring to, not whether or not he went out threw for 300 yards.

Not the best example to use. The Jets ran the ball 40 times yesterday while the defense pitched a shutout.

Sanchez's real test will be in late November and December. We'll see if he has any desire to throw deep in the conditions.

dane i'm not trying to be a smartass, they ran the ball for over 300 yadrs the week sanchez threw 5 ints, they had the lead and instead of pounding the ball some more they threw it in a close game and sanchez gave it away.

now take yesterday they were up BIG early and could have let him have a chance to get his confidence back and yet they didnt really give him that chance.

I don't see any difference. If they have incurable flaws, it doesn't matter what age they are. If Sanchez can't figure out how to throw in the wind, and Cassel can't be more accurate throwing downfield, both of them are going to be wasted investments.

And the first comment was to address your point that just because the Jets didn't trade for another QB, that that means the Jets don't think Sanchez's arm strength in the conditions is a problem. I would imagine it's a very big concern and that they're working like hell to coach him out of it.

The Chiefs can't play defense. They can't run the ball. The Chiefs run the ball 25 times, but how many times are they forced into a 3rd and 8 because they ran the ball twice and moved the ball nowhere.

Most of Sanchez's passes are going against defenses who respect the run and are loading 8 men in a box. And the running game does well enough that they at least get quite a few 3rd and short situations.

So yes, forcing your QB to consistently gain 10 yards on every 3-down possession is asking your QB to carry your team.

Lots of QBs make dumb mistakes early in the game. Big Ben does it all the time--he usually has about a 1:1 TD/INT ratio. Brady won lots of games early in his career where his offense couldn't score more than 10 points, but he came through in huge fashion late in the game. If a QB rallies the team from behind in the 4th quarter, it's a huge accomplishment, regardless of your earlier performance that game.

The playcalling has been nearly perfectly even, run to pass. Cassel is not being counted on to win games because six times this season, they lost. And many of those games, the Chiefs were never in a position to score touchdowns, let alone win.

If it were 70/30 pass, I'd be with you. But not 50/50.

I agree with that.

But yesterday in the second half, there was no excuse. The big plays he missed were out of a clean pocket with good blocking. He has to make those plays. No excuses there.

i agree, i just fell as though hes a little shell shocked right now and doesnt set up like he should. seeing a phantom rush when its not really there. i hope this abortion of a line doesnt fuck his head up...

wouldnt that speak to him assuming that someone's GOT TO BE GETTING there due to the way the line has played so far?

Totally understandable. /Huard/

No, I wouldn't know because it's not accurate, kind of like Cassel himself.

.

really thats funny when there were announcers saying that during games last year hell they even illustrated that, but you know this already from watching those games right?

He went full Huard at one point yesterday.

But, generally, Cassel has shown himself to be a tough dude.

i watched them all. it happened. hell in one game they were driving with 15 seconds left moss got chipped at the line and gave up on the play just jogged downfield. the defender quit running with him and when moss realized the ball was thrown he couldnt turn it on quick enough. Wide open for a td to win the game and jogging???

Cassel even went big fetal at 1 point yesterday.

I did enjoy how they purposely didn't put in Brodie Croyle to avoid any kind of controversy.

So Hootie comes back and immediately the board's IQ drops by 80 points.

That ban wasn't long enough.

At this point Cassel hasn't proven he's the guy, the only thing that says he's the guy is his contract and the fat guy up in the box.

He didn't get hit on the 3 throws he badly missed wide open guys on.

My problem with Cassel is he looks at 1 receiver and when he hits his back foot if that guy isn't open he starts moving even if the pocket is fine. He's gotten sacked a few times due to moving when the pocket was fine. Cassel can't fathom standing in the pocket going through progressions, the only time I've seen him look at 2 without moving is when the 2 guys were lined up together on the same side of the field.

That's not true. Watch plenty of highlights and you'll see that when he has any time to throw, on about half of the plays, he's at least looking off one receiver and throwing to another.

But again, this is a really difficult thing to judge based on what he's given. On well over half of the plays, if the ball isn't out in 3 seconds, he's dead. And on the other half, he's definitely thinking about it. When he's had time to settle in a pocket and has time to lock in, he generally makes good decisions. The accuracy isn't always there, but he generally throws to the right guy. Yesterday was the exception--while I don't think he was making terrible reads, the ball got away from him in a really bad way.

it did, but being that it was the first time it has happened doesnt he deserve the benefit of the doubt. funny that a lot of games were that way yesterday.

What good does it do for you to start a QB that has no long-term future for you?

As much as you might hate it, Cassel is the best long-term option the Chiefs have. And every game is a learning experience. You have to keep working with him and hope that the light turns on at some point this season. Nothing stupider than having the light turn on for an injury-prone QB who has no chance at being a future option.
