There's a shit ton of Cassel hate here, but I figured I would ask a valid question.

Including compensation (they're getting paid roughly the same amount), would you rather trade a 2nd round pick for Cassel and Vrabel, or trade Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and a 2nd round pick for Kolb?

I know what I would choose, and it's not even close.

So FAR ...... Cassel is better and cheaper

they are paying for potential and Kolb's potential is better than Cassel's

Cassel.

Kolb got famous by carving up a horable Chiefs D one afternoon in Philly.
He goes from undeniable the starter for Andy Reid last year to tradeable this year? No thanks. :shake:

I've always thought Kolb was a smelly turd, so I guess I'll take the cheaper more polished turd in Cassel.

Truthfully I think Arizona should have opted for someone in free agency. Maybe Hasselbeck or even Vince Young. And if that doesn't work out, too bad. Andrew Luck if your only consolation prize. Sorry, it's the best we could do.

Kolb's arm strength has been questioned as much as Cassel's in Eagles land. Kolb struggles to throw the 20 yard in that McNabb was known for in Philly, and Kolb's accuracy deep has always been in question.

A highlight video isn't going to change my mind. Kolb hasn't done half of what Cassel has already proven.

I still feel like Kolb is going to be a good NFL QB. From the games I saw, he got absolutely shitty pass protection from his o-line. Vick was a better QB for the job, but that's because he doesn't need the offensive line as much.

I think Kolb is going to be a better QB than Cassel.

LOL not holding my breath, but figure what the hell, he has upside with a college career behind him and a professional career ahead of him. More than any thing Cassel had when we got him.


Cassel isn't more than Huard the 2nd. If I recall there was some love for Huard and he did have a few good games as well much like Cassel had last year but the same story is told. Both back up QBs filling in as starting by default.

I have to disagree with you here. Cassel's Modus operandi is to stare down the pass rush rather than scanning down field because he's scared.

I'll admit that at points his protection left a lot to be desired, but he failed miserably to stand in the pocket in the face of adversity and deliver the football.

I believe the his lack of courage problem is exacerbated by his inaccuracy which causes him to take additional time to question when receivers are sufficiently open due to his inaccuracy. It's like a horrible catch 22.

There were several times last season in which he actually did have time and receivers were open, but he would hop up and down while patting the ball (in a very feminine fashion mind you) and fail yet again to find a receiver.

I think I may agree that he is tough physically in that he can take a hit. I'll admit that he took some brutal hits.

But is he tough mentally? Sorry, Lady Gaga has a tougher mental capacity.

I think he's going to do well in Arizona. He's nothing flashy, but I think he's a fundamentally solid Quarterback.

I sadly think that last season was a false sense of security for him. I hope he can improve this season and with the amount of weapons he has now, he has no excuses. NONE whatsoever.

Problem is I think his ceiling is only so high. Kolb has the better arm, better accuracy, just haven't seen him play enough. When Cassel steps back in the pocket, I get nervous.....all the time. Shouldn't be that way but I do. I just don't think he's a good QB. I'd take Kolb.

07-29-2011, 01:52 PM
Eh, if I had to have one, at their contract and their trade value, I'd go with Cassel.

Here's one man's report on Kolb and it seems pretty fair:

He only has two standout starts in his career, and while one was against the Falcons last year, the other was against an average Chiefs pass defense in a 2009 blowout. He tends to flail around at the first sign of any pressure around the pocket, the sign of a player who is not used to the speed of an NFL pass rush.

Great quarterbacks have a feel for the pressure and know where they can take a step to avoid defenders while maintaining their focus downfield, but Kolb tends to shuffle his feet and scramble out of the pocket, breaking his read progression in the process. His skittish nature in the face of a pass rush prevented the Eagles from getting guys downfield for Kolb to hit. Even when he had time, he seemed to prefer safer throws underneath.

While arm strength is often an overrated measure of a quarterback's viability, Kolb's is average at best. He struggled to make the deep throws the Eagles offense created last season, underthrowing Jeremy Maclin a number of times in the Week 7 loss to the Titans.


That is almost exactly the same scouting report you could write about Matt Cassel (you could even put 'Moss' in for 'Maclin' and keep on truckin').

I see a little more ceiling in Kolb because he seems to be more mobile and seems to have more zip on his intermediate routes. That said, I'm less impressed by him pretty much every time I watch him play. And given that the Cardinals paid a TON to get him, I'd rather just give up the 2nd for Cassel, pay him less and call it a day knowing that I'm probably going to get below average QB play either way.

NY Jets- What they need from Sanchez is pizzazz and electrically great QB play. Cassel is NOT the answer there. They may as well take Sanchez and his great playoff performances
Jacksonville- Nope. Got Garrard and an eager young 1st rounder sitting behind him
Tennessee- Agreed
Oakland- Agreed
Denver- Orton's better
Cincinnati- Agreed
Cleveland- Agreed
NY Giants- You're just exagerrating Eli's flaws. Mr. QB Leash Cassel =/= better QB
Washington- Agreed
Carolina- Agreed
Seattle- Agreed
Arizona- With the toss-up that it is, may as well keep Kolb
San Francisco- Agreed
Minnesota- They just traded for McNabb. Why the hell would they want Cassel?

Go on some message boards for these teams or talk to some face to face. I bet they'd have no problem with Cassel. The grass is always greener, right?

I don't think either of us want to do that, so I'm just going to avoid this giant fucking trap by saying I'm giving Cassel one more year to prove he's the guy who can take this team to great heights. That's more than fair, and if he's as not bad at playing football as the defenders say he is, he'll take advantage of that opportunity. I hope he does.

Whew. Crisis averted.

If you thought Darth Carl Satan was bad, imagine two of them running around here. And I think it won't just be us. A lot of critical yet rational guys like OTWP will probably follow suit.

Do you not believe that's fair, Reerun? That's his 3rd year with the team and 4th year as a starting QB. If he's THE GUY, then THE GUY should be given time, good receivers, a running game, and great coaching. That's so he can prove that he truly is THE GUY.

Don't you think that if he's been given all that by his 3rd year and he still hasn't proven that he can be THE GUY, it's safe to assume he never will? And if he never will, shouldn't the team move in a different direction?

I absolutely believe this is his make or break year, and I'm a Cassel supporter.

He actually has a number 2 (and 3!) receiver for the first time in KC, he has a proven running game, and a defense that will keep him in games. This is his year and I think everybody knows that. If he fails, we should find a replacement.

Hmmmm....I suppose I would probably qualify as critical yet rational....

But I fully expect him to fail.

last year didnt count? He led his team to the playoffs and threw for 27 TD's with only 1 legit WR.

Good Grief......Not saying hes the best there is, but there are alot of teams out there that would love to have this guy.

I fully expect him to at least match his numbers from last year.

This has been my argument all along. I thought he was great last year. Apparently I'm in the minority on CP. But they'll always have excuses.

I fully anticipate Cassel will make all of the naysayers eat their fucking words this year. Bet it.

If he didn't shit the bed against the Ravens, it might have counted for more.

Last year established that he was at least an NFL caliber starting quarterback. He might be below average at it, but he was at least good enough to start.

It did not establish, however, that he's capable of taking a team to an NFL championship. His performance towards the end of the year was abysmal and his playoff game was as bad as anything I've seen this side of Grbac. It's absolutely fair to consider his audition still open at this point.

Well prepare to be disappointed for awhile then....if he continues to play like he did last year, hes going to be playing in the NFL a long time.

Good Grief......Not saying hes the best there is, but there are alot of teams out there that would love to have this guy.

I fully expect him to at least match his numbers from last year.I'm looking for the following things out of Cassel this year:

1. One or two or more wins against +.500 teams
2. An above .500 record against the AFC West
3. At least one playoff win

If he does those things, I will change my signature, change my attitude about him, and admit I was wrong.

I will still call it an unnecessary and stupid risk by Pioli, but I won't doubt the guy any more. Even if he puts up a few bad games, you have my word I'll stick up for the guy until he implodes on himself.

If you want proof of this, look at my turnaround I did on Pioli. Just one year ago I was giving him no credit for the Berry pick and called the rest of the 2010 draft a mediocre display of bullshit. I've done a complete turnaround on him. I like the guy. A LOT. I'm confident he can do for Kansas City what we've seen from teams like Pittsburgh, New England, Baltimore, and Green Bay.
