There's a reason why a lot of players seek outside opinions when dealing with team doctors. Most of them are corrupt due to the pressure to clear players to participate. In fact, a study was done a few years ago that said the current Chiefs docs at the time (I'm not sure if they are still there) were among the least trusted by the players of any NFL franchise.

Now, I realize the guy giving the opinion in the OP isn't affiliated with the team, but these guys can be easily pressured to make the wrong decisions, and part of that onus is on the player, who often wants to hit escalators in his contract.

i figure we lose with either QB so why not let Croyle be the sacrificial lamb.

If Matt Cassel Plays, Chargers Linebacker Expects To 'Put Him Back On The Bench'

http://www.arrowheadpride.com/2010/1...ut-him-back-on

If Matt Cassel is going to play on Sunday against the San Diego Chargers then news of his appendectomy may as well have been a bulls eye on his body. This according to Chargers LB Stephen Cooper who says if the Kansas City Chiefs QB does play, the Chargers will try to "put him back on the bench if we have to."

A couple of things. First, this explains why some coaches are coy about injury information -- why give the opponent a target? Second, the Chiefs wouldn't let Cassel play if they felt there was a serious risk involved, and one of those risks is getting drilled in the abdomen by someone like Cooper. That's something they'll have to weigh.

Per Chris Jenkins of the San Diego Union Tribune, Cooper was asked if his comments meant he would take a shot at Cassel's abdominal region.

"Whatever presents itself," he said. "We are just trying to make sure we get him down, make sure we try to get the ball, and try to get some turnovers. So, if the opportunity does present itself, we are going to try to hit him as hard as we can and see what happens from there."

We'll find out when Friday's injury report comes out if Cooper will even get the opportunity to hit Cassel

Sometimes it's best to just keap your damn mouth shut. I hope we crush that mo fo out of oblivian if the opportunity rises:#

Can we, please, make 'obvivion' a part of the CP lexicon? That is awesome.

If he shits the bed he shits the bed.

Yup, if I was an offensive player I might look for him on a tipped pass to remind him that we will do whatever we need to make sure his ass is on the bench...

That guy needs a visit from Shaun Smith.

The funny thing is that douchenozzle may not even play.

Isn't Cooper inactive for the game?

i'm sure palko can pout and throw a tantrum just as well as brokie.... can either of them do it like phillis? that's the question..

yeah banged up while addicted to pain killers

Them sounds like fightin' words

If he shits the bed there will still be plenty of morons around here that pull down the covers, snuggle in and lie in it while getting a massive erection.

Kind of like you were doing the whole time with Cassel. You nincom-****ing-poop.

It's the samething if he shits the bed or wins the game
1 is not enough to judge him by

Actually this will be his 10th start

You know
never mind

Maybe I will mind
2009 Cassel looked nothing like 2008 Cassel
but that's not important don't call me Shirley

I agree, I wouldn't judge him by this one game...Hell even WITH Matty we were 7 point underdogs....I was just pointing out he has had multiple starts in multiple seasons...But I don't expect him to tear it up in this game....I just hope a miracle happens and Matty starts, thats all.

You're talking to a wall. A wall that is reeruned. And you thought it was impossible for walls to have human characteristics, didn't you?

If he shits the bed with this line and this running game I don't think we will hear much more about it.

I hope he doesn't shit the bed BUT I hope you are correct if he does...
