Here is the thing.... I would love to get a franchise QB. I don't think Cassel is all world, but he is much better than Tyler Freaking Palko.

And, the fact that people are trying to extrapolate last nights performance against the last defense in the league that was further injured into some sort of a comparison is ridiculous.

Cassel has proven he is a capable starter in two years on two different teams. The one constant is that he had a decent OC.

Again, not all world... not beyond upgrade, but a decent starting QB.

The people who think that Palko is an upgrade are blinded by their hate for Cassel.

Here is the thing.... the Pats have the worst defense in the league by yardage. They are average in points allowed. But, they also had additional injuries int he secondary.

Palko was given a very soft defense to start against. I don't know that the Chiefs would have won with Cassel, but they would have put up more points.

He is better than Tyler Palko. Already said that.

How many injuries in the front 7? How many sacks did they have coming into the game? How many did they have last night?

The QB didn't hold onto the ball for 4 seconds every play and ended up not having to run for his life every other down. SHOCKER.

I never said Palko was an upgrade. The only thing Palko did was further prove the point that this team is going nowhere without a REAL QB.

cassel is a piece of shit who averages less than 200 yards passing a game because he's so reeruned you have to run an offense for reeruns


wipe the shit out of your eyes...our passing attack is worst in the league since he arrived....he is terrible

Here's the thing...Palko wasn't playing when the Chiefs put up 3 points on the mighty Dolphins, AT HOME.

jamal charles is the only reason people think Cassel was good last year....

In his "good" year last year with Genious Charlie Weis, he averaged 6.9 yards per attempt.

2009 it was 5.9 and this year it was 6.4.

For his career, he's averaged 6.6 yards per attempt - which puts him into a group with Drew Bledsoe, Byron Leftwich, Quincy Carter, JP Losman, and Archie Manning.

Honestly, take a look at this:

It's pretty sad really.

That is an interesting list.

The cutoff for "barely adequate" seems to be around 6.8.

Trent Green at an impressive 19th.

Look at the Super Bowl QBs. You won't find many below 7.0 that I saw...

EDIT: I see a few Super Bowl losers (runners-up) below 7.0 but a quick scan down to about 6.5 didn't find me any SB winners. Also, look at how many CURRENT QBs are at the top of that list - it's pretty painfully obvious how the game has changed and we haven't changed with it...

And our impressively overrated GM is going to bring Cassel back next year as the uncontested starter. You know, and I know it.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think Haley was calling plays last night?

There were several times they cut to a sideline shot while we were on offense, and during those shots, Haley was clearly looking at his sheet and talking, while Muir was pacing behind him, looking at the sheet but not talking.

Coincidence that this happened several times, or much ado about nothing?

Also, is this the first game Muir has actually been on the sideline? I haven't paid a ton of attention to it, but I know there have been a few games where they've shown Grandpa Simpson up in the coaches box.

Time for me to crawl back under my rock...

:sulk::Lin:

Apparently, Haley was calling plays. Several people have mentioned it.

Sorry. Haven't bothered to try to catch up on threads, figured they were just filled with whining about the refs.

and Keyshawn picked the Chiefs last night. lol. dumbass.

No. Mostly filled with bitching about Palko and how Cassel is being treated unfairly.

Oh wait, that's really just one person...

Dude! Good to see you posting again.

LEAVE MATT ALONE!

That's from a playboy shoot. She's focking hot.

Link?

The only difference between Palko and Cassel is Cassel is 30 million dollars richer

I don't have one. I just remember "reading" playboy in college and that was one of the shoots.

EDIT: Hillary Fisher.

You're welcome.

and palko has 30 million dollar hair

But how do you know this? Seriously? His first start, he has to come off the bench on MNF against the Patriots in Gillette as a two-TD underdog... and from that you're basing his whole ability? Did you notice that he actually had a much higher completion % than Brady, and only 1 yard less? Yes, his QB rating was bad, but that was skewed by the three picks... two of which could've easily been caught. I'm not saying he's the QBOTF but he already showed he's better than Cassel. Are you ready to throw in the towel on Palko and the season already? The Chiefs are only two games out, and in the AFC a 9-7 record might win that bitch. It's not out of the realm of possibility. Their life signs are failing but the Chiefs aren't dead yet.

You can't be serious with this, can you?

Holy shit, it makes my heart sing to see htismaqe back on CP.

Is it singing Rebecca Black?

FUN FUN FUN

sitting in the front seat, sitting in the back seat...

Why, did they shorten the season to 10 games when I wasn't looking? There are 6 more to go, you know. Are the Raiders, Broncos, and Chargers so awesome?

Remaining games:

Raiders: Chi, @ Mia, @ GB, Det, @ KC, SD. That's ****ing brutal. Going to Soldier Field is not a gimme even without Cutler. The way Miami's playing, that game won't be easy. At Green Bay, they'll get their ass pounded. Detroit is another tough one. They finish up with two divisionals, meaning their destiny might be well out of their control by then.

Broncos: @ SD, @ Minn, Chi, NE, @ Buff, KC. Easier than Oakland's but no cakewalk. The Chargers are schitzo enough to blow them out with that SD offense. The Vikings is probably a win. The Bears won't be easy. Neither will New England's offense. Buffalo can be pesky especially at home. They finish with KC.

Chargers: Den, @ Jax, Buff, Balt, @ Det, @ Oak. Probably the easiest of the bunch but, still, they have to deal with the Ravens D and playing at Detroit. And they are dead even with KC (4-6, and 1-1 H2H) so if KC takes care of their own business they have little to worry about.

What do you expect the outcome to be even if we do go 9-7 and make the playoffs? We got blown out my Buffalo and Miami for Christ's sake. AT HOME.

Of course, this is a ridiculous discussion anyway. The Chiefs won't win more than 2 remaining games with Palko at QB. He's your "hope" for the playoffs. :(

This.
