Holy fuck.

I try to explain why this is a bad idea to my TN fans but such as it is...

[Sofa King]

Hahaha

To be fair, it's just as a backup. But still.

[seclark]

dude's made some money, but wtf?
sec

[Buehler445]

I heard this on the radio and I'd like to have a picture of my dumbfounded look on my face when I heard it. It'd probably be a meme.

The salary thing makes me sad :(.

[Fish]

Matt Fucking Cassel. NFL herpes...

[Rain Man]

Okay, one team down, 30 more to go on our quest to a Super Bowl.

And that's just not right about Jamaal. I would go so far as to say it's [obscene gerund] insane.

[mcaj22]

there needs to be a 30 for 30 on Matt Cassel. How he made millions by never playing in college and a freak injury to the best QB ever lol

[RippedmyFlesh]

I posted this in another thread but it fits here.
Based on career earnings
castle at 63m is the 46th highest paid player in nfl history.
alex is 20th at 93m. Only 19 players who have ever played in the nfl have made more money in their careers.

[Hammock Parties]

that's why they both deserve flesh-eating diseases in retirement

karmic balance must be restored to the universe

[Direckshun]

Good for him.

He has been traded, like, twice, so it's nice he gets to stay in a place for a while.

[eDave]

I want to be Matt Cassel. Hate all you want, but that mofo is rich af.

[seclark]

he is winning. he can afford to pay someone to put his hat on his fucking head.
sec

Woah. Cassel man. Dude.

[alpha_omega]

Ha, this also reminds me of a time when i said to myself...."if we only have a better QB".

Well, we do...but only marginally it would seem.

Alex is actually a good qb. Not one that will likely win a SB but he's still a good quarterback. Matt Cassel is...donkeys

Good as in deserving 20th highest paid lifetime salary in HISTORY? I can name 20 chiefs off the top of my head who have been more value.

[Tribal Warfare]

Shouldn't this be in the Epic Fail thread?

[TambaBerry]

That number is a bit misleading, contracts and money go up every single year. So, yeah there have been way better players but they played a long time ago when a few million was a lot. Plus they both played the best paid position in the NFL.

That list (http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/rankings/earnings/) is only active players, otherwise Peyton would be #1.

Another thing to keep in mind is that Jay Cutler has earned more than Alex.

[-King-]

Meh. It's not like there's a bunch of better backups in the league.

That's crazy. Any chance you have the link to share? I'd be interested in seeing where other positions rank on the list.

You missed this during the Pioli exorcism apparently. I pasted Pioli, Cassel, Haley, Clark and Quinn into Clash of the Titans. I called it "Clark and the Titans." Clark played Andromeda, Pioli was the Kraken, and Haley was Bubo. It opened with Quinn going into the lair of Mattdusa, the Gorgon, and cutting off his head. It ended as you'd imagine.

It was fucking epic. The youtube account it was on got nuked, though, and I lost the original file in a hard drive crash. :deevee:

This gif never gets old. What a fucking buffoon.

[FlaChief58]

Lolz at the dumbass team that gave all that cash to a career backup. ROFL

[jjchieffan]

He's made $63 million in his career? I thought he stole that much from the Chiefs?

Damn, that's too bad. That was some quality work. :thumb:

[Deberg_1990]

Good for him. Careers dont last long in the NFL and ya never know when its going to be your last hit.

[Titty Meat]

You can make a case it's bad QBs that are killing the gsme. There's like 5 good ones while turds like Cassel are still in the league

Dane said a while back that football was losing arm talent to baseball and I agree. Not all pitchers could be qbs but guys like bumgarner and verlander would be big qbs.

Harvey too

[RippedmyFlesh]

Harvey too

Kershaw was a center on Stafford's hs team. He would have been a bad ass qb too. It seems like a lot starting pitchers nowdays are like perfect qb size.

This. Both Smith and Cassel have had long careers (and are currently still playing and collecting salaries) at the highest paid position in the game. After the first few seconds of "WTF?" wore off, it isn't all that surprising.

[temper11]

I think I'd argue it the other way. It's the freak of nature QBs that are ruining the game (through no fault of their own of course) because so much emphasis is on one position.

Used to be that teams were put together differently... some defensive powerhouses, some built around dominant o-lines and running games and others their QB and the passing game. Now it is often argued that the ONLY path to a championship is via the guy under center. Makes the overall state of the league much less interesting... especially since there are so few freaks to go around.

[ChiliConCarnage]

Mark Castle's a fine backup if you have your young QB of the future. Good for him

[Reerun_KC]

And we have Smith.
