In 2010, when we lost to the Texans (35-31 IIRC) because Cassel shat his pants in the clutch, he rightfully deserved blame.

Totally. I 100% agree.
And there's nothing wrong with looking at past results as a predictor for future success. But it isn't ironclad. It isn't definitive.
The problem is that you like to make really bold, really declarative statements that will either A) come true and you look smart, or B) be wrong and are buried amid 35,000 other things you post a day.
Either way, it creates discussion and argument and gives the forum an antagonist which is useful during offseason lulls.
But it's just frustrating at times and becomes exhausting. Especially when you know damn well that Alex Smith is a massive upgrade from Cassel. He's not elite. He might even just be barely average. But Cassel was absolutely, without question, one of the worst starting quarterbacks we've ever seen.
I'd rather have Damon Freaking Huard than Cassel. That's right. I'd rather have an idiot with a noodle for an arm and a vagina for a face.
So, rail against the chiefs for not taking a QB. Rail against them for giving up too much. Rail against the retread SF quarterback. God knows I have. But keep it legitimate and within the realm of reason.
