Cassel VS Orton

[RustShack]

Orton in his two years in our offense-

62.1% 3,802 yards 21 TD 12 INT 86.8 Rating 7.0 YPA
58.8% 3,653 yards 20 TD 9 INT 87.5 Rating 7.3 YPA

Cassel those same last two years in the same system with better cast-

55.0% 2,924 yards 16 TD 16 INT 69.9 Rating 5.93 YPA
58.2% 3,116 yards 27 TD 7 INT 93.0 Rating 6.92 YPA

[notorious]

Orton threw the ball downfield a lot at Denver.


If we continue to throw a lot of 3-5 outs and swing passes, Haley and Muir need to get the FUCK out of KC.

Assuming that Orton gets any playing time and can grok the playbook and we stay with the dinky dunky, I totally agree.

If we have a quarterback who can fling it, I think we'll fling it. Lord knows we have the receivers for it.

[RustShack]

I wonder exactly how similar McDouches offense is to ours.. They have the same original base, but obviously coaches add their own tweaks to it. If theres a lot of the same terminology, he could step in pretty soon and start.

Oh I still think they are going to go with a short passing game.

Imo, it all comes down to the Offensive line.

I've seen this time after time this season where the QB drops back deep in the pocket and doesn't even have time to survey the field. Or sometimes even set his feet.

Even though Im not a fan of the short passing game, I will admit, I don't think the Chiefs have the Offensive line to have downfield passing game. It's impossible to have a downfield passing game when your line can't hold up and block for sh*t.

In that sense, I can kinda understand the short passing game at times. And I can kinda understand why they shy away from the downfield passing game. This is no intent to stick up for Haley and Muir. Im just pinpointing that they shouldn't be the only ones to blame. The Oline sucks bro.

If we are a legitimate threat to beat the defense deep, the offensive line will magically improve. No more stacking the box or bringing blitzes.

I don't think Orton can do it, but he has a lot more capability than Cassel.

Exactly.

Cassel had a ton of open deep passes. He just threw the ball 15 yards away from the receiver.

And Palko had a lot of time to throw the ball. This offensive line isn't bad. Again, they look horrendous because Cassel never, ever, ever adjusts his blockers to stop the blitz. Palko did and it made a huge difference.

[Shogun]

Ive definitely seen Orton throw to an open man that wasnt his #1 reciever 15 yards down the field.

Cassel, not so much

[SenselessChiefsFan]

Same offense? Better surrounding cast?

#1) Not the same offense. Comparable his numbers in 2008 in New England when he actually had the same offense.

#2) In 2009, the Chiefs had far inferior talent. JC wasn't starting most of the year, they had LJ. The offensive line sucked. And, the Broncos had Marshall and Royal at WR. Not even close. Oh, and Haley was offensive coordinator.

McDaniels made Cassel and Orton both look good. But, McDaniels isn't coming with Orton, so we get the Orton of the other three years... the one that has a passer rating around 76.

Pats...32nd defense... and many injuries in secondary. Amazing that the offense looked better against them.

McDaniels, Haley, Weis, Muir... all run the Earnhardt-Perkins system. Each add their own twists, but its the same offense. The difference is how they run it, plays called, and aggressiveness.

Or is there something I'm missing, did we throw out the offense this year and I missed it? Or did McDaniels throw it out after leaving NE?

[Bane]

**** Matt Casshole an anyone that supports him.The day he signed with KC they threw 3+ goddamn years down the drain.I don't like Orton much better but anyone with basic common sense can see Orton is better at QB than Casshole.

I understand your point about Cassel.

However, Orton was 1-4 this season. Tebow is 4-1 with the same team. Actually, they traded away their best WR before Tebow took over.

This is so true. Hell, it opens everything up. And, we didn't even threaten consistent completions in the 10 to 20 yard range, really.

One of the many 500 pound gorillas in the room is the fact that Miami showed the entire league how to beat a Cassel-led Chiefs offense to a pulp. Enemy defenses used to crowd the LOS, but from this point forward, it was going to be blitz early and often because we offer no deep threat whatsoever and our quarterback panics at the snap.

And, on top of observing our run game continue to suffer (including our fabulous draws to The Mighty McDervish), seeing our short passing game remain a toothless hag, and helplessly watching as we complete screens to enemy players, we were going to let this receiving corp go completely to waste because we cannot hit them in stride or elsewise.

But no more!!! We are free!!! Ring the bell! Hoist the colors! Raise the glass! Flag the limo!! And pinch the waitress on the tittahs!! For we have found a way to fling it deep!!!

Denver's resurgence in defense coupled with the quality of opponent is the reason Denver is 4-1 with Tebow. He's done nothing but show he's a garbage QB. Cassel, with that defense and oline would have went 4-1 as well.

It's hilarious how many people think that switching from a QB that leads the league in turnovers to one that has had 2 in 5 games has nothing to do with the defense suddenly playing better. Also, a better running game (which Tebow has nothing to do with) certainly doesn't help the defense either.

Or that a new coach might take more than a few games to adjust to. Both on offense and defense. Especially given a shortened preseason.

E-P is very dynamic. You can really do anything with it, adjust it to where your strengths are. I'd say there is a very good possibility that Orton just needs to develop timing with his receivers and he'll be fine.

1) We have a young O-Line. They have been playing better and better as the season wears on. Orton doesn't move well, was getting pressured a lot.

2) Our entire D has been getting better and better as well. The D that Tebow has had the last few weeks is better than the one Orton started the year with.

3) Orton wasn't playing as well this year as he was in the past. He was giving up turnovers and making mental errors. I've heard some people say that he was feeling the heat of having Tebow behind him. I don't know. I doubt it. Tebow had a shitty camp and no off season.


So...it's complicated. That 4-1 team is different than the 1-4 one, and it's not just the QB.

Just like everybody else, you're failing to recognize the opponents that the Broncos played during Orton's stint and Tebow's stint. The Broncos lost when Orton was playing because they played the Raiders (when they actually had a QB who was not on his couch all year), Titans, Packers, and Chargers (combined 25-15 record). The Broncos have won with Tebow because they've played the Dolphins, Raiders (when they had a QB who was on his couch all year), Chiefs, and Jets (combined 18-21 record). The only time the Broncos played a good team since Tebow has started they lost 45-10. Their defense still sucks. Their QB still sucks. They've just been playing teams with terrible QBs, so they've snuck a few wins in there.

Yeah, uh...no. You're full of shit. We lost by three because Orton literally dropped the ball when McGahee was wide open for a TD. The team played (barely) well enough to win. I actually watched that game. It was ugly as hell.

Titans, Packers, and Chargers (combined 25-15 record)More bullshit on your part. You are grouping the Packers with the Titans and the Chargers? Ridiculous. The Packers kicked our asses because they are a much better team than we are. Titans was closer because we were closer to their talent level. Chargers played soft D and were ill prepared for Tebow, we still lost.

Orton rocks.....................as long as he has 20 minutes to decide where he throws the ball.........good pick up though as the Raiders have beaten him 4 times in a row I think....

[Red Dawg]

Orton is way way way better than Matt. He's an improvement in every way. I still want a first round QB to be the man but Orton will be alot better to watch than Cassel.

Could be possible that Orton just didn't fit the offense John Fox implemented as well as he does the one we run... sometimes it takes more than a few weeks for a QB to learn an offense.

Yep.

And, I can certainly understand why so many people are worried that we're going to repeat the whole "retread quarterback" concept once more. It's been the Chiefs' approach for decades ... many of which I, myself, have suffered through, as well.

However, there is no rule anywhere that says we have to repeat that failed approach, nor is there any rule that says we are going to repeat it, nor is there any rule that says we must jam raw carrots up our hienies.

We have the core of a good team. A team that can win playoff games. And, a team that can dominate the AFC for years. We merely need to add a few pieces ... including a quarterback brimming with verve.

I refuse to hang my head and bitch and moan. Rather, I choose to bitch and moan and then hang my entire self, head and all. But, I don't think it's going to come to that. I think that we'll see continued improvement this year, draft another QB in April, then be super intelligent during the next off-season and training camp by allowing true competition for the starting quarterback role and I don't think the winner will be Orton. And, it won't be Cassel either because he'll either be working as head NFL doofus or heading back to Southern California just in time for the big one.

Cassel has had countless games where he had almost as many INTs as passing yards.

[burt]

As much as I dislike Cassel, our PROFESSIONAL coaches strongly believed him to be the best, out of our squad. He had lots of experience, and was/is better than Palko, and Stanzi(a developement QB, with a bright future). But Cassel is out for the season. Then a better QB than Cassel be came available.

SO WE TOOK HIM! ANY decent coach would have done the same thing. I am glad out front office and coaching staff recognized the opportunity and siezed it. We are better for it.

[InChiefsHeaven]

Ah fuckit. Bring on Neckbeard. At this point, I honestly don't really care. Cassel showed beyond the shadow of a doubt that he's quality backup, preferably one you never really have to play. Palko is not even a stop gap. He's not even as much fun as Thiggy was. Stanzi went in the 5th for a reason, he's not ready yet and to toss him out there and break him before you even know what you have is not smart.

Orton makes sense, I guess. I never thought he was horrible, but I never really though much of him either. The FACT that he's an upgrade over Cassel speaks volumes. I hope he does good I guess. But the bourbon'll be flowin' all season regardless...so...Go Chiefs.

[JD10367]

I don't care what the stats say, Orton is better than Cassel just from the eye test.

It's a good thing you don't care what the stats say, then. Since when you compare career averages Cassel actually has minutely better stats than Orton in TD/INT ratio, QB rating, completion %, and even YPC (despite everyone saying how great Orton is at throwing downfield).

I find it hilarious how so many people hated Orton when he was in Chicago and made fun of him, made fun of him getting traded to Denver, made fun of him getting cut by Denver in favor of Tim Tebow, but now that KC picked him up suddenly he's a great option.

Cassel wasn't the answer. Everyone wanted Cassel gone. And instead of seeing what Palko and Stanzi have, they spent $2.5M on someone who's possibly worse than Cassel.

And Orton will probably play well, for a game or two. He'll trick you into thinking it was the right move. But eventually KC will find out what Chicago and Denver did: he's just as average as the multitude of average QBs who aren't good enough to lead a team, and take it to the Super Bowl. And when they finally do find that out, he will have won a few games--just enough to push them down the draft chart until they can't get a good QB in Round One.

They took the option you all complain about: take someone else's trash and try to polish it up. You can't polish a turd (unless you're a Mythbuster).

[burt]

You can't polish a turd (unless you're a Mythbuster).

Besides, Orton is minutely less than Cassel with a significantly lesser receiver corps. He will do fine.

With JC, Berry and Moeaki the Chiefs have enough talent to make it to the playoffs....barely.

This offensive and defensive line aren't good enough to dominate anything.

Add a few pieces? The same can be said of any team. You add the right impact player and suddenly it makes a huge difference.

But this team doesn't have an impact player in the front three of the defensive line.

They don't have a single great player along the offensive line.

They have a single great player on offense, and that is Bowe. JC would give them a second.

They have a great interior LB and a good, borderline great OLB.

Flowers is a very good corner. Carr is average to good. Berry looked promising, but still wasn't 'great' yet. And, Kendrick Lewis looks solid.

The Chiefs have a bunch of quality NFL starters, but very few great players.

This team is still building and certainly going in the right direction.... but lets be a little realistic.

[SenselessChiefsFan]

not me, i never liked Cassel from Day one.

Even those who didn't like Cassel knew he was better than Orton.

I am all for upgrading the QB position... and there are things I like better about Orton.

The first is that it appears that he is willing to take more shots downfield. I think that is because of McDaniels coaching. I think Haley will coach the 'be safe' with the ball philosophy and we will see him go downfield less.

We shall see.

Denver's defense wasn't playing at the same level before Tebow Bieber took over. Neither was their 0-line.

But Orton isn't better than Cassel. At best he's the same. All the Chiefs would be doing is exchanging being pissed off at one quarterback for another.

Yeah, because they proved they belonged in the playoffs last year.

The only reason they would be in the playoffs is due to the division if they made it this year.

The defense and running game plus our cooshy schedule made it perfectly acceptable for our QB to throw for 150-175 yards and 0-1 TDs and still win. The majority of those yards were on dumpoff passes.

Name me a few games last season when you remember Cassel leading a major 4th quarter charge to win the game?

If he didn't produce yards and he didn't lead a 4th quarter charge, then what did he do? And how did he perform against legit defenses?

Again, the team won IN SPITE of him. Not because of him.

It's a good thing you don't care what the stats say, then. Since when you compare career averages Cassel actually has minutely better stats than Orton in TD/INT ratio, QB rating, completion %, and even YPC (despite everyone saying how great Orton is at throwing downfield).

I find it hilarious how so many people hated Orton when he was in Chicago and made fun of him, made fun of him getting traded to Denver, made fun of him getting cut by Denver in favor of Tim Tebow, but now that KC picked him up suddenly he's a great option.

Cassel wasn't the answer. Everyone wanted Cassel gone. And instead of seeing what Palko and Stanzi have, they spent $2.5M on someone who's possibly worse than Cassel.

And Orton will probably play well, for a game or two. He'll trick you into thinking it was the right move. But eventually KC will find out what Chicago and Denver did: he's just as average as the multitude of average QBs who aren't good enough to lead a team, and take it to the Super Bowl. And when they finally do find that out, he will have won a few games--just enough to push them down the draft chart until they can't get a good QB in Round One.

They took the option you all complain about: take someone else's trash and try to polish it up. You can't polish a turd (unless you're a Mythbuster).

Career averages.

You can't lump Chicago into there. He's said specifically that in Chicago, they asked him to do 3-step, quick reads. They specifically asked him to be a game manager. Virtually his entire playbook did this. In Denver, they opened up the entire playbook. That had everything to do with coaching philosophy. Orton's Denver stats vs. Chicago don't even compare.

[chiefzilla1501]

Pats...32nd defense... and many injuries in secondary. Amazing that the offense looked better against them.

Re-watch the game. Watch him physically move blockers and then, wa la, a blitzer moved right into the guy.

The reason Cassel struggled later this season is because teams realized he has no ability whatsoever to read the blitz. Do you know how many times I saw more blitzers than blockers? That's on the QB. Blame the offensive line all you want, but the QB's job is to adjust for the blitz and hit the hot route. If you don't do that, you're going to struggle as an NFL QB.

Never said that Cassel carried this team. But, Orton still isn't an upgrade.

I hope I am wrong.

I hope you aren't. I don't want him ruining our draft pick with one or two meaningless victories. If he can take us to an AFCW title, I'll take it. Still, we all know we'll get knowcked out first round in the playoffs. If Orton means we fall out of the running for one of the top QB prospects, I am going to be pretty unhappy.

Yeah, and Matt Cassel under Weis or McDaniels doesn't compare with him under Haley or Muir (aka Mike Solari).

Amazing, isn't it?

I will be interested to see what Orton can do here. He has some things going for him here that Matt didn't.

#1) The Chiefs are losing. Haley is more aggressive when the Chiefs are losing. He will take more chances. It will give Orton more of a chance to throw the ball downfield.

#2) Baldwin should be rounding into form a little better as the season goes along.

The playbooks are similar, it comes down to how the game is called and what the coach wants. If he wants you to protect the ball at all costs, then that is what you do.

It will be interesting to see how Orton does over the last four games.

[chiefzilla1501]

Never said that Cassel carried this team. But, Orton still isn't an upgrade.

I hope I am wrong.

I get what you are saying. I think McDaniels is probably a superior offensive mind to Haley. But not by as much as you'd like to claim. Maybe Orton was a product of the system. But I'm talking about Orton doing the things Cassel simply cannot. In NE, McDaniels designed an offense where Cassel got rid of the ball quickly and asked Randy Moss (possibly the most talented receiver of all time) to go up and get it. We learned why. In KC, he's incapable of reading the defense and field. And he's incapable of knowing how to make all the throws. He's a "throw it in the breadbasket" type guy.

Orton was asked to run a more traditional offense in Denver. He had receivers far inferior to Moss and Welker. He's not going to be asked nearly as much to carry the team as he was asked to in Denver. The system is going to suit him well. I think by the last 4 games, you'll see not how good Orton is, but how bad Cassel was. I feel like Haley's offense made it very easy for a legit QB to make plays, but you can't do anything when your QB is incapable of executing the basics.

[SenselessChiefsFan]

I hope you aren't. I don't want him ruining our draft pick with one or two meaningless victories. If he can take us to an AFCW title, I'll take it.

#1) I don't assume the Chiefs were taking a QB anyway.

#2) If I am wrong, it means that the cast around Cassel is better and that Haley is a better coach than I think.

See, I just see a pretty good team led by an average coach.

If Cassel really is to blame for ALL their woes, then that will be great.

I still see a below average Offensive and defensive line. So, I don't really think that is the case.... but I sure hope it is.

I really am anxious to see what Orton can do. I think it could tell us a lot about Cassel.

Either way, Cassel or Haley needs to be gone. Haley clearly doesn't work well with him. So, it will be interesting to see how he does with Orton.

I would be fine with both of them leaving, honestly.

Cassel needs to be the first to go. I don't think it has anything to do with them not getting along. It has everything to do with Cassel not executing the basics. And when Weis and Zorn can't coach those into you, it's the QB, not the coach. Cassel handcuffed Haley a lot more than the other way around. They asked him to do basic stuff and he couldn't do it. It's only fair that Haley gets a chance to show what he can do with a QB who can actually execute his gameplan.

Please don't tell me that Weis couldn't coach him. He was a pro bowl alternate and offensive player of the month under him.

No one is saying that. He is just clearly not the answer. Orton almost definitely is not as well, but I think he's more likely to do well than Cassel. Either way he's a stopgap. If he turns into more or Cassel returns, we are in for years of more heartache and frustration.

[chiefzilla1501]

Please don't tell me that Weis couldn't coach him. He was a pro bowl alternate and offensive player of the month under him.

JFC. Offensive player of the month in a month where he went 2-2, losing 2 division games, and one game throwing for 469 yards in a blowout loss against Denver. But congratulations on playing very well 2 games against the NFC West. And we should take a lot of stock in voters who didn't even think Tamba Hali deserved a pro bowl nod.

The Chiefs' defense rode around Charles and asking Cassel to do very little this year. They don't have Charles this year. We should expect more of our QB than to support a solid defense and a dominant running game. Don't feed us this ridiculous illusion that Cassel was a good QB this year. If Weis should be congratulated for anything, it's building an offense where they can build around an ineffective QB. He wouldn't do that without Jamaal Charles around.

[Quesadilla Joe]

Two years ago, you were hailing him as the greatest QB since Dan Pastorini.

He looks fantastic in preseason. Draft time and preseason is when I am the most optimistic about the Broncos.

[whoman69]

I consider Orton an upgrade over Cassel. Is it like trading Majikowski for Favre? No. Orton is not a franchise QB either. He is only marginally better. I don't understand bringing in a stop gap on a lost year. Hopefully Pioli is not thinking of him as anything more than that.

This is my opinion FWIW. We all yelled at Cassel for not being able to take advantage of the excellent WRs he has to utilize. We have bitched about his inability to find the open man, his inability to regress the blitz, his consistency of checking down, his happy feet, and his inaccurate passes.

What makes me happy is we can see the source of these complaints, with Orton as our QB. We had Palko in there, whom we could easily brush off as being inexperienced. But with Orton, if we see marked improvement, the blame is on Cassel. If not, the blame is on the OL or coaches. The addition of Orton provides more of a in depth view of what the problem is within the Chiefs organization. Let's see how it plays out.

[BossChief]

KYLE ORTON OWNS CASSEL.....WATCH

Kyle Orton Throws the ball down the field more than Cassel, he also throws a lot more passes past 10 yards.

Orton threw 188
Cassel threw 157

Orton is a lot more productive and efficient than Cassel when he throws past 10 yards

Orton
21-30 yards ....87 rating
31-40 yards.....119 rating
41-50 yards ....132 rating

On all of those passes, he totaled 845 yards!!

Cassel

21-30 yards...93 rating
31-40 yards...40 rating
41-50 yards ...82 rating

On all of those passes, Cassel totaled an embarrassing 320 yards

Everything taken from ESPN splits.

I concur because Pioli could've let it play out with Palko , and lose all the remaining games then Scott could point to how "valuable" Cassel is to the Chiefs. Then using that excuse he'd trade down as much as possible to find "The right 53" which excludes drafting a QB in the 2012 Draft.

Which would just prove Chiefs have no Balls to play a rookie QB to build upon or have potential for long term success. Pass on a first round QB with even greater chance of future long term success.

Orton brings us no closer than Dave Krieg for a Super Bowl run.


Think I'm going to go to Wallmarts after all, go be apart of the insanity. Go hang out in the toy department, look for that last gift that some smuck is looking for & buy it. Then after Christmas return it for for that extra money that it cost to drive out there to get in the first place.

Look, I'm with you if the Chiefs pass on a first round pick for Orton. I'm going to be absolutely livid. But Orton over Stanzi... I'd love to give Stanzi a chance, but I think it's reaching to say that this is a bad move. There's a lot of bad that can come if Stanzi struggles to close the season. Again, the biggest fear to me is that Bowe gets fed up and refuses to re-sign.

It's the fear mentality of playing a rookie QB that Chiefs fans have yet it's ok to bring in a rehash retread QBs time and time again. There is huge amount of "what ifs" every day of life.

I mean, when I think "Bowe", I don't automatically think "making sense". Except, that is, when it comes to catching footballs and getting the franchise tag next year. That makes sense.

We need a franchise QB but is over 3 seconds 4/5 times in 40 dropbacks any good? Doesn't sound to good to me.

Before the game got out of hand (the punt return) he dropped back like 16 times and they ran like 7 or 8 quick passes/screens. He took the hot read 3 or 4 times. He was sacked once and pressured up the middle one time (the INT)

The other 3 or 4 plays, he had all day to throw.

It's hard to judge the 2nd half because we were playing catch-up and the defense knew we had to throw the ball...

I could go watch it again but it's just too ugly of an experience. IMO franchise QB or not this O line isn't good enough. I want to draft a franchise QB but I'd prefer to put him behind an above avg line. I don't think Aaron Rogers could lead a team to a championship behind our line.

[BossChief]

Next year, no doubt.

After that, no way.

IMO Orton should get a 3 year extension that is equal to what is owed on Cassels contract...something like 3 years 15-20 million and Cassel should be moved for whatever we can get.

Wash our hands of that "era" and move on.

If Bowe wants to be a bitch about it, fuck em....tag him and if he doesnt want to sign it, retire... unless someone comes in and offers up a first and third or something like that which in that case, move him and draft his replacement or use the picks to move up for a better QB.

He already led the Packers to a championship behind a mediocre line, one that was missing (I believe) 2 starters.

[BossChief]

One thing for sure, if his agent sits at the table with Pioli and expects to get LF money, he can go fuck himself.

FWIW though, if they are realistic about their expectations, he is probably worth a contract similar to what Andre Johnson got at 7yrs/62 million.

BTW, here is the list of the top ten highest paid receivers in football if anyone wants to see how things may play out.

He already led the Packers to a championship behind a mediocre line, one that was missing (I believe) 2 starters.

I think our line is worse then theirs. I also believe that having the same offense in place(forever) with those players gives them a big advantage. To me I just can't see settling for even an avg o line and IMO ours is less then avg. Given the chance why wouldn't we try to improve it?

As has been stated several times, THIS LINE IS NOT THAT BAD.

Ours looks worse due to lousy QB play and JCs absence.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

I love how this has went from a Orton sucks balls thread to the greatest QB in the history of the NFL in a matter of 2 days

He's the next Brees :):). Deal with it biatch.

Have you not watched the same team as the rest of us the last 20 plus years?? They have had plenty of outstanding lines in that time. What haven't they had?

It does pain me that Neckbeard is on this team, but now at least we have a QB as good as the one out in Oakland.

Didn't you read where I said we need a franchise QB? That doesn't change the fact that our o line is good enough.

[philfree]

It ain't good enough. That's how I see it and why would anyone settle for avg at any position?

[BigMeatballDave]

It ain't good enough. That's how I see it and why would anyone settle for avg at any position?

I've said this before, but our line is no worse than the Packers, Steelers, or Patriots.

[BigMeatballDave]

That said, replacing Wiegman and Richardson would be great.

[R8RFAN]

I have always thought Wiegman was pretty good

[philfree]

I've said this before, but our line is no worse than the Packers, Steelers, or Patriots.

I disagree. Those lines have the ability to adjust as the games go on. Ours just gets exposed.

[BigMeatballDave]

They adjust because of the QBs.

Ours get exposed BECAUSE of the QB.

[BigMeatballDave]

I have always thought Wiegman was pretty good

He's not terrible, he's just old.

[kcxiv]

Husdon will replace Casey. No way richardson is still around next year, dude is terrible. I think our Oline isnt that bad. Palko had plenty of time to throw. One thing i liked about him is he was fast in his drop back. Cassel looks slow as fuck dropping back.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Ours get exposed BECAUSE of the QB.

Why is this so hard for him understand??

[philfree]

They adjust because of the QBs.

Ours get exposed BECAUSE of the QB.

It's both. I think our O line is over rated by the fans around here because of the want of a franchise QB. That want is warranted but it causes peeps to over rate our O line.

That's not the point.

There's more than a few people that thing the line is a BIGGER problem than Cassel.

Look, I'm not suggesting we don't need help on the line.

But put Aaron Rodgers behind this one and he could still be undefeated.

To me that's a stretch.

To me that's a stretch.

It really isn't.

This is how important the QB position is.

[philfree]

It really isn't.

This is how important the QB position is.

We won't agree on that...that's cool though.

Our O line sucks. There's no position where we dominate on our O line. Every position is just barely good enough. Inconsistent at every spot.

[milkman]

I disagree. Those lines have the ability to adjust as the games go on. Ours just gets exposed.

Those lines adjust because they have QBs that can read defenses and make throws on time.

JFC, you're a fucking idiot.

JFC.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

To me that's a stretch.

I'd be willing to bet both lines have performed about the same, perhaps giving the edge to KC. KC definitely has an advantage in the future (IMO) at LT, LG, and C.

You can bet all you want but this O line just isn't that good. Like I said we need a Franchise QB but why would we want to settle for an avg or slightly lesser O line?

[Ugly Duck]

I've said this before, but our line is no worse than the Packers, Steelers, or Patriots.

NFL.com O-line Rankings mostly agree with you:

4 Raiders
8 Patriots
18 Broncos
21 Chiefs
22 Chargers
24 Packers
28 Steelers

This is not a below average line. It's just not. Replace Richardson and Wiegmann and it's damned near elite.

Besides, here are the starters on OL for the last six SB teams:

LT: Jermon Bushrod, Charlie Johnson, Jonathan Scott, Chad Clifton, Max Starks, Mike Gandy
LG: Carl Nicks, Ryan Lilja, Chris Kemoatu (x2), Daryn College, Reggie Wells
C: Jonathan Goodwin, Jeff Saturday, Doug Legursky, Scott Wells, Justin Hartwig, Lyle Sendlein
RG: Jahri Evans, Kyle DeVan, Ramon Foster, Josh Sitton, Darnell Stapleton, Deuce Lutui
RT: John Stinchcomb, Ryan Diem, Flozell Adams, Brian Bulaga, Levi Brown, Willie Colon

Of those 29 players there are six Pro Bowlers:

Chad Clifton, Flozell Adams (who was a shell of himself at this point; it was his last year in the NFL), John Stinchcomb (played one more year after his SB appearance), Carl Nicks, Jahri Evans, Jeff Saturday

6/29, barely over 20%. If you count Kemoatu twice, then it's really 6/30, basically one PBer per line, and that assumes that guys like Adams and Stinchcomb were playing at a Pro Bowl level at that point in their career, and the truth was they were anything but.

You don't need a great offensive line. You need a competent one. The Chiefs' line is more than competent.

[BossChief]

Do you see Asamoah as a LG long term?

If so, why?

He is a perfect fit at RG for us, IMO.

I'm surprised the Pats line is rated that high. Still wondering how the Chiefs sacked Brady 3 times.

[Hammock Parties]

LT: Jermon Bushrod, Charlie Johnson, Jonathan Scott, Chad Clifton, Max Starks, Mike Gandy

LMAO.

The only guy on there who is close to elite is Chad Clifton.

True fans, die.

Yeah, they certainly blitzed more.

I hope they plan on this again Sunday.

[whoman69]

They're going to need to mix it up more. Once they knew we were coming on blitzes they adjusted and took advantage.

If the Chiefs were to draft a QB like we all want the chances are he'll be closer to a Ryan or a Flacco and not a Rogers or Big Ben. That being the case we should try to upgrade our o line. Of course I'd try to upgrade any position on the team any chance I got. :shrug: I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who thinks that way.

Okay dumbass, tell me what I didn't understand.

If a QB can make reads, and adjusts the blocking scheme presnap, then maybe, just maybe, our O-Line doesn't just get exposed.

How many times have you seen one of our O-Linemen just standing around looking for somebody to block, while at the same time, defenders are running free to the QB.

Every game the last three years except the last one. Cassel should be truly embarrassed that CFL reject Tyler Palko can adjust the coverages and he can't.

ROFL

Yeah he was masterful.... ROFL

Palko was so horrible on monday night, he didnt adjust to anything. Threw some of the worse picks you will ever see...

There was nothing he did to adjust for anything. I understand the Cassel hate, but to make shit up to add to it is laughable.

Sorry, but you're dead wrong.

Paklo was going through his reads, and more often than not, identified the open WR.

His issue Monday night wasn't necessarily decision making, but his accuracy.

His first two INT's were thrown to the right WR, but was behind both of them. All that was needed was a good throw.

Fair enough, I still wont crown him.. He took way too many sacks by not adjusting to what the defense was doing... He went through his reads by moving his head on the screen. As I dont know what his reads are.

Either way. He is a god damn joke along with Cassel...

I am sick of the way they are handling this QB position. Whether he reads/adjusts or not...

Do me a favor and re-watch the game. Watch what Palko does in pre-snap.

He moved his blockers to adjust for the coverage. Literally tapped them on the shoulder and in some cases, grabbed them by the collar and moved them into place.

He's not as quick as an great QB in getting rid of the ball quickly and going through progressions. But at least he does it. More than can be said for Cassel.

Orton in his two years in our offense-

62.1% 3,802 yards 21 TD 12 INT 86.8 Rating 7.0 YPA
58.8% 3,653 yards 20 TD 9 INT 87.5 Rating 7.3 YPA

Cassel those same last two years in the same system with better cast-

55.0% 2,924 yards 16 TD 16 INT 69.9 Rating 5.93 YPA
58.2% 3,116 yards 27 TD 7 INT 93.0 Rating 6.92 YPA

The only real difference I see is that Orton has a better season pass yards total than Cassell. Other than that, Kyle Orton isn't going to perform that much better than Cassell if the Chiefs want to do better than the first round of the playoffs before the end of this decade. They need to draft a top rookie QB and give him 3-4 seasons to develop.

[JCharles1981]

Orton did that with no running game.

Regardless, he is not the man we need in order to regain a superstar offense. Our offensive line is not strategized around the QB like the way the Colts offense was around Peyton Manning.
