The only thing Cassel has proven is that he is slightly better than Tyler ****ing Thigpen.

None of these guys are proven, and the only real stupidity here is suggesting that any one of the three are.

I'm no Cassel homer, but that's pushing it.

Good God, did Cassel **** your prom date or something?

Sure, a little.

But the fact is, Cassel is in no way "proven".

He's "proven" about as much as Derek Anderson had "proven" after the 2007 season.

My response was directed at the "makes you wonder how stupid some people are" comment.

That I can agree with.

The Thigpen thing though...made me throw up in my mouth a little.

One's bad enough.

I'm not necessarily ripping on Cassel. However, I have been a Chiefs fan since about 1967. 26 years ago we had the same #3 pick in the draft that we have this year. And we passed on Jim Kelly and Dan Marino (yes, I know that neither one of those won a Super Bowl). I hope we do not make the same mistake this time around. History sort of says Cassel will be a Matt Hasselbeck type of QB at best (which isn't bad), but I would prefer to see my team have a Peyton Manning. Chance of that happening are better with Sanchez that Cassel.

Moreso than the Wondertwins are.

Interesting deal. Don't think the Broncos got ripped off, got a lot of good stuff out of it... but that comes with the caveat that they now don't have a QB.

The Bears are obviously going all-in. I wouldn't call Cutler close to a local product though, Santa Claus is about 6+ hours away from Chicago. Chicago's about as far away as Atlanta is, and that's really not an exaggeration. Nashville would be a lot closer.

Only skimmed most of the thread, you knew the Cassel stuff was coming, despite how mentally imbalanced it is. Seriously, I think some of it is borderline mentally ill, I don't know why I even bother to post... to argue that Cassel obviously isn't good enough because we didn't give up enough to get him. What the heck is that? I hate saying this, but you can call me a true fan, I don't care, complaining that we didn't get fleeced in a trade, how in the bleep can you be a fan of a team and hope to get bent over in a trade? That is stupid. Despite the fact that the only reason Cutler was traded was because the Broncos wanted to trade Cutler FOR Cassel to begin with.

So, they wanted to trade Cutler away to get Cassel.... Cassel goes for a 2nd, Cutler goes for much more... therefore, instead of using logic and common sense to say the Bears gave up more than they should've, or that Cassel was really worth a 1st and 3rd or whatever, the Chiefs screwed up by not giving more value for Cassel. Brilliant!

No. It sounds a lot more like some people want this whole thing to fail just so they can be proven right. Which, that's fine, you're entitled to act however you want, but let's just call it like it is and quit using passive aggressive 4 year old stuff to make your point. That's all I have to say on the subject.

You really are ignorant. Just because a team got RAPED does not mean that ****ler is a franchise qb. I had the misfortune of watching him most weeks - there is a reason he has never had a winning record in college or pros and it is not poor defenses.

Sorry that some of us aren't doing backflips over his "experience."

Nothing like giving up 4-5 years in age for a guy that has had ONE season of experience, and happened to be surrounded by the dynasty of the decade.

Exactly.

Didn't you hear? Mecca has a crystal ball and knows what players suck and which players are awesome before they even play for us.

I don't know, it tells me something that two people( Pioli and McDanials) that were around Cassel last year, wanted him badly. Maybe they know more about what Cassel has as far as leadership and intangibles than anyone here. If Sanchez turns out to be an all pro great. I'm not betting he will be, no one knows. He hasn't played in the NFL and as far as I can tell he's had a pretty easy time of it on a team that is very talented with all day to find receivers. I don't doubt his arm or his athleticism, but he's no sure thing. Nether is Cassel but both men that were with the Patriots last year wanted him, I'll go with them.
