I remember the last time all the pundits through we stole a player away from someone else...

Hopefully Cassel turns out better than Ryan Sims did...

I am going on out on a limb here and use a "true fan" saying...

But I am "not sold" on Cassel, He isn't "proven" (Another True fan'ism) enough...

I love it.. trade him for Cutler!

I would trade him in a heartbeat if someone would offer a 1st for him....

Wouldnt even second guess it...

And The Fourteen continue to twist painfully in the wind...LMAO

This was a good deal. I don't want to get rid of him I have high hopes that he will be the QB here for many years.

That being said. No team would give up a 1st for him now. They'd say, you gave up a 2nd that's what we'll offer.

No one could possibly have wanted Cassel other than Pioli, at any price. The numerous media outlets reporting this must have collaborated to spread lies at the expense of Pioli and the Chiefs. /blubbering moronic idiots

:D

I hate when I agree with you.

Green was a really nice player. And by all accounts a great guy.

But why are so many fans content without having our own franchise QB? Green, unfortunately, was never in this category.

I hope Cassel is much more than what Green was, and it speaks to how much the QB position has been undervalued that we often hold up a nice, system guy as a model for what we hope or would be happy to have.

Sorry, but I want and expect more.

Cassell's going on 27 years old.

He's got a full year of experience in the NFL as a starting QB. And in that year, he played exceptionally well.

He's a steal, plain and simple. I wanted to draft a QB too, but really this works out better...

We got our QB, and kept the #3 pick.

Your right, it was a crushing blow...

It wasnt ideal by any means, but hey, this franchise actually thought Herm was a NFL level coach... So that tells us something...

I think and reserve judgement until he plays a year without Moss and Welker before I annoint him the next Thigpen...

Like you, I wanted a QB at any cost. I never thought it was feasable to get a proven one (albeit just one season) for a 2nd. I'm eccstatic about the deal, and in keeping our #3, we can address one of the many other holes we already had. And with a franchise type player to boot. I can't believe the uproar this has caused. This might be the best deal ever struck by any Chiefs FO.

They'll have to get him some O-Line protection and another offensive threat to throw to befor you could truely evaluate him.

This is hilarious. We're gonna' come out on top regardless, so I'm not particularly worried about anything. That said, you'd be wise to commit the following to memory:

Whatever the end game in this affair may be, you'd best remember that assuming you know Pioli's mind is a dangerous game to play, and that this is a whole new way of doing business, and that the old Carl Parameters of "what you see is what you get" do...not...apply.

This isn't "hey, we like him, let's get him"! This is chess.
