Yep totally agree. Last year Cassel had 63% accuracy this year it is 54%. Which one is the real Matt Cassel? Time will only tell.

Catchable, yes, but not easy.

Two that stand out was one to Bowe than was thrown high, and wobbled more than any pass that I think I've ever seen.
It should have been caught, but it would have been a good catch.

The second was the ball in the back of the end zone to a double teamed Copper.
One defender got his hands between between Copper's.
Had Copper caught it, it would have been an outstanding catch bordering on spectacular.

Stop generalizing the fanbase, because as I've said many times before the whole issue that year was the WR's learning the Saunders' system. Thus running wrong routes due to the complexities of the scheme.

I normally agree with the majority of your posts, but not this round. Trent had a FAR superior offensive line, Priest Holmes to lure in defenses and catch passes out of the backfield, a HOF TE in his prime, and Kennison to stretch the field with his speed. You're comparing apples to oranges if you think Cassell is even on an even playing field.

Matt Cassel's play was the least of the Chiefs problems today. The offensive line protected very well. I thought Alleman was an upgrade over Waters and Richardson has really developed in practice as a good option at right tackle. It may have been the opponent but he looked much better than O'Callaghan.

The Chiefs need a least two reliable receivers and consistent blocking before Cassel can be accurately judged. One week (or two in a row), he looks like total ass, then follows it up with a decent performance like today. If his receivers hadn't dropped half of everything thrown their way, it may have been a different day.

Oh, and I sure am glad that Cottam has been sitting on the bench all year.

:rolleyes:

O'Connell's a joke. Two seven round picks for THAT guy?

When I broke down Richardson's play in the preseason, I said he looked like a guy that could develop and man the position for years to come, and was met with derision for the most part.

When I got pissed and melted down because they cut Richardson and only claimed Ryan OCallaghan off waivers to replace him, I was lambasted.

Ryan O'Callaghan is a srcub.
Richardosn is a guy with real potential.

I said it then.

They are showing I was right.

Thanks. Listening to Len he was going off on the Bowe drop in the end zone I don't know if that is the one you are talking about here and the Pope drop in the end zone.

Yup. Basically, you can't blame the drops on Cassel...because pro wide receivers are supposed to make those catches.

But, it's pretty obvious a more accurate quarterback would contribute to fewer drops.

Were they perfect throws? No. But if Bowe wants to claim that he is "The Show"...he needs to make catches like that.

I hope you're not talking about the one later in the game, where the defender hooked LP's left arm, and the ball was thrown back-shoulder.

I don't know anyone that's gonna catch a ball one handed when it's on his back (other) shoulder.
