At his Tuesday press conference, Eagles coach Andy Reid refused to rule out a Kevin Kolb trade prior to the October NFL trade deadline.
Reid reemphasized that Kolb has "a bright future," but the Eagles are perhaps the most aggressive team in the league, having become even more so since GM Howie Roseman took over this offseason. We have to believe they'll listen to any trade proposals. The Browns were reported to have strong interest in Kolb during draft weekend, and there is plenty of quarterback uncertainty throughout the league. The Eagles will definitely get offers. Sep. 22 - 12:47 pm et


This has to be a load of BS, no? I can't imagine them trading him in favor of Vick. If it's true and he can be had on the cheap, bring him in. Why not?

While I agree I don't know if this team has the gumption to actually draft and develop a franchise QB. Mallet has all the skills and the physicals, so I think he'll transition well to the NFL. Could we wait for him to come along as a QB for the Chiefs? I am really looking forward to the Bama vs. Arkansas game to see how he handles a top Defense.

I think the chiefs have backed themselves into a corner and the only way out is to draft a qb. They are young just about everywhere u look besides qb. Mallet will play on sundays. Will he be a HOF'er I dont know. But is far and away the best qb coming out next year.

Matt Cassell is a 2-0 starting QB.

That might not mean much to you guys, but it means everything to Pioli.

This football team likely won't be bad enough to have a shot at Mallett or Luck.

Browns, Faiders, Bills, Cardinals, Jaguars, Seahawks, Vikings

All those teams need QBs and at least 2 of them will more than likely finish with a worse record than the Chiefs and none of them (except for maybe the Faiders) are likely to pass on a franchise QB.

I predict a contract re-negotiation for Cassell in the offseason and another year with him as starting QB.

This shit is full of FAIL.

Cassel isn't 2-0. This team has won in spite of how shitty Cassel is.

And the Raiders, Cardinals and Seahawks more than likely won't be going after a QB. The Raiders like Bruce Gradkowski. The Cardinals have Max Hall. The Seahawks traded for Charlie Whitehurst.

I don't think so, Mr. B_Ambuehl. Not if he's peaking out at quarterback ratings in the 50s or 60s. Pioli is smarter than that ... I think.

B. They learned something about Kolb or figured out that he can't be the franchise QB and then, he wouldn't be worth acquiring.

I don't think so, Mr. B_Ambuehl. Not if he's peaking out at quarterback ratings in the 50s or 60s. Pioli is smarter than that ... I think.

And if he isn't, Clark is. No way he writes that check to a quarterback whose chin is longer than his throwing range.

FAX

Yeah. Clark may be the trump card here.

The same Clark Hunt that took every opportunity, in every interview he did in the OAH (offseason after Herm) that it was his desire to draft and develop a franchise QB - only to let Pioli talk him into giving $30M - plus potentially more - to a career backup?

Sorry, but Clark ain't that smart.

I just don't get it. The Eagles send their franchise QB to a division rival and proclaim Kolb is the MAN. One shaky preseason and a concussion later and they would trade him because they're going to go with a man who is one more bad decision away from a lifetime ban?

Matt Cassell is a 2-0 starting QB.

That might not mean much to you guys, but it means everything to Pioli.

This football team likely won't be bad enough to have a shot at Mallett or Luck.

Browns, Faiders, Bills, Cardinals, Jaguars, Seahawks, Vikings

All those teams need QBs and at least 2 of them will more than likely finish with a worse record than the Chiefs and none of them (except for maybe the Faiders) are likely to pass on a franchise QB.

I predict a contract re-negotiation for Cassell in the offseason and another year with him as starting QB.

Dude you're drunk. It's only week 2, it's very possible we could lose our next 3 games.

what i was thinking is that they comparred Kolb to Rogers in GB and how he sat for a long time and was ready when he got his chance. Maybe they don't feel that way about Kolb anymore or maybe the difference between Kolb and Kafka once he sits and learns isn't much difference.

Clark may not be the smartest cookie, but I somehow get the impression that he'll be more hands-on with regards to personnel decisions with Pioli than Lamar ever was with Carl.

There were screencaps of the Cleveland game showing this exact thing happening.

Bowe beat his man 1-on-1, the safety dropped down on the crossing TE, but Cassel locked on Chambers from the snap, and threw an INT.

Happened several times on MNF as well. I noticed it several times from our vantage point at Arrowhead, and Flopnuts pointed out another I missed.

Ask anyone who sits in the upper level at Arrowhead if Cassel has WR's open and he misses them. I guarantee you the answer is "YES."

Dude you're drunk. It's only week 2, it's very possible we could lose our next 3 games.

I personally hope the Chiefs lose as many games as it takes to get Cassell on the bench permanently. However, this defense is gonna keep him in games and as long as the chiefs are around .500 I don't see this front office & ownership wanting to change much. They'd almost certainly rather keep Cassell around for $2-$3 million a year then commit $50 million to another player at the position.

Clark has shown thru his actions that he's not committed to winning. For an owner thats dead last in team spending every year you gotta think 8-8 is perfectly fine and a good solid business.

Lamar appeared to take winning much more serious with what he invested in the roster.

Unless Luck declares. I get that Mallet has all the "measurables" but I would take Luck over Mallet(as of right now) in a second. Luck is the antithesis of Matt Cassel's accuracy.

I am not arguing for Cassel because I am officially sick of him.

I will say that sitting up top at Arrowhead looking down does give you an interesting vantage point but receivers being open from the "top" view does not mean they are open from field level.

You can't see the angles and lanes from the top. There can easily be bodies in the way of the passing lanes that you won't be able to determine watching from the top.

Not to say there weren't open receivers at times but it can be deceiving in my opinion when you are watching from more or less overhead.

If the QB is having to move to his left and has a wall of lineman dukeing it out on his right, the receiver could have 5 yards separation on the right side of the field and it wouldn't matter.

That being said Cassel still sucks.

Talent means everything. Kolb would die here with the garbage we have in the passing game.

A guy with a 64 percent completion percentage is less accurate than a guy completing 58 percent?

Ok, that's why I said maybe. Seriously watch the guy, he is fucking terrible. He had Jackson Maclin Celek and Evant as his receivers and still managed to suck shit.

Going after Kolb is another definition of retardation. He's slightly better than Cassel and the Eagles will not let him for less than a second rounder.

In all fairness to Casshole .. he has played our game-plan to all of his abilities .. yes he's not a HOF QB but in this system we're playing partly because of his limititions he's only had acouple bad bad games ... we need acouple WRs worse ........

If we are not going to draft a first round QB next year I wouldn't mind trading a 3-4 round pick for someone like Matt Flynn from GB and actually let Brodie Him and Cassel compete for the starting job.

If the Chiefs plan on trying to develop Cassel into a decent starting QB then the last thing I want to see them do is to trade a pick for a QB and pay Cassels bonus to have him compete for the starting position. Ya his contract was front loaded but he's still on the books for 5-7mil per year for a backup roll? No thanks.

I think he has developed to pretty much what he is going to be. A good backup QB. Much like the guys that filled in while Roethlisberger was out, he can do enough to keep the team afloat and not loose games. We need a guy that makes the people around him better not a weakness we have to cover up. It is not his fault we paid him a pile of money. A great team usually needs at least really good QB play. I just kinda figure if we had an honest competition we would probably upgrade at the position. If he were to cut his contract to about 1/3 of his current one I would be happy to keep him on as the #2.

If we cut Cassel he isnt going to resign with us. There are teams out there needing a QB and they will sign him to a starters salary because of his stats. He has no incentive to renegotiate his deal because of that. And theres no way you pay him a 7.5m bonus unless you believe hes going to develop into a better than average starter. There's no chance he's wearing red and gold if the Chiefs cut him and I honestly hope they do because hes no starter.

The Panthers just drafted a QB, the Bills will draft a QB, the Cards probably will too, the Seahawks just traded for a QB, the Dolphins may as well play Pennington, who is Cassel's upside. I'm not even going to address the Bears and Lions, that's just stupid. Cassel isnt' starter material, believe your eyes, man.

Have you even watched Clausen? Hes terrible and can barely get the ball over the linemans heads. Pennington is a FA along with Thigpen. The Bills MAY draft a QB but Fitz is only 27 and if he continues to develop they might not. Cassel is far and above better than any QB the Seahawks have... Hasselback is a FA after this season. Are you one of those Cutler fanboys? He's terrible. Cutler is one of the very few starters in the NFL right now that I would NOT take over Cassel. The Lions cant keep Stafford on the field.

None of this is reliable in any way.

Instead of this we should evaluate our own weaknesses (NT, OLB, WR, C, QB, FS) and argue the best possible and likely solutions...

I'm sure none of them are chopping at the bit for Matt Cassel since hes locked into a long contract with the Chiefs as of this moment. But if the Chiefs decided to cut Cassel you would be a fool to think none of them would take a look at him for QB.

The one exception I would give are the Lions. It may be too early to make a decision on Stafford but hes already had 2 season ending injuries in 2 years.

Hill is 30 years old. 9 TD's with 7 INT's. Averaging 6 yards a pass. And has a rating 10 points lower than Cassel. He even has 500 less passing attempts than Cassel in 3 more seasons. So much better.

Kolb is better than Cassel. And its not even close.

It may be true. But I say if we want to improve on Cassel, let's try to get our potential Super Bowl winner. I doub Kolbt is that kind of QB. Replacing a mediocre QB with a slightly less mediocre one has to stop here if we have Super Bowl aspirations.

Kolb was good enough that Reid dumped a HOF QB this offseason.

Reid is smart. He knew McNabb's quality days were numbered and got value for him when he could. Reid would not ever have dumped him for Kolb if he were younger.

Kolb is a pocket passer.

He needs to be protected to be effective.

Michael Vick has the mobility and escapability that Kolb lacks, and he has finally started to evolve into an NFL quality QB, not just a great athlete playing the QB position.

But, when you look at SB winners, every QB that has won a SB has been a pocket QB.

Some have had the ability to scramble whne plays break down, but everyone was still a pocket QB first.

Steve Young didn't win the SB until he finally learned to be a pocket QB first.

The Eagles O-Line is pretty bad, so Vick is more productive.

But, if you gave Kolb the kind of protection that Cassel has had this season, he'd be leading this team to wins, not simply riding this team's run game and defense.

Kolb, with protection, would be a very good QB.
