And if you're arguing that the criticism of Cassel is generally too black and white, then we have to take the same type of critical eye to the problems with the WRs this year. Maybe, just maybe, having a sub-par QB is a factor.

The reality is that Cassel has had to deal with a wide receiver carousel of players who've had issues with drops before playing with Cassel. Some of the receivers weren't even on the team to start the year. Receivers have had to play different roles because of things like Bowe getting a 4 game suspension. The team's best receiver from last year isn't even on the team this year, and the team's second best receiver from last year is dealing with different defensive scheming as a result, and it's clearly had an impact upon his game. Whether you care to admit it or not, this stuff has an impact upon even the best quarterbacks.
And this isn't even addressing the impact of a poor running game and poor offensive line work.

Ignoring reality? Just laughable considering that I'm arguing only that the problem is a bit more complex than, "The WRs suck."
Your defense of Cassel and all things ex-Patriot is somewhat thin.
Incidentally, who is responsible for the " receiver carousel", or the "poor running game" (that has been FAR from poor once the best player has been put on the field) or the "poor offensive line work"?
Certainly these issues can't be tied to the highest paid GM in the league? And don't fall back on the bullshit of "what could he do in a year?" or "did you expect more wins?"
Let's be intellectually honest.
Pioli may or may not ultimately do great things in KC, but his first year on the job has been nothing short of a disaster. And this really isn't even an arguable point.
