I think he WAS. But I also do subscribe to the fact that NE had a comparable record with him at the helm and last year. Neither are end-all arguments in his favor or against. I really think (hope?) the holding on to the ball too long can be coached out of him. By all accounts he is a dedicated student of the game with good work habits. That's quality number one. You might say then why didn't he learn on the bench in NE. My answer would be no matter how much you "study" you cannot implement what you learn in class on the field unless you actually do it too. Much like learning to drive. You may know exactly what you need to do behind the wheel but you will not do them until you spend some time there. His last year in NE was for all intents and purposes his rookie season. Then he had to face offensive upheavals in his second year without having gained an experienced veteran's savvy. We won't really know until way into the next season what we really have in him. If this all sounds TOO optimistic I admit that I'm trying to be a hopeful fan (with fingers crossed). But I bet that you as a Chiefs fan will agree the very best thing that can happen to the Chiefs is for Cassel to actually develop to be the QB that solves our QB problem, leaving our future draft picks free to use on studs in other positions.

so was this from the media guy? or is tw stirrin shit?

Again, let's hope we won't need any. But I will follow college QBs with keen interest next season.

I'm sure there are many heated discussions in the draft rooms, no different than any other NFL team. But then you make the pick and move on.

I don't think Pioli lead Weis to beileve this whole time if you come here and Jimmy is there when we are on the clock I will give you the chance to talk me into to taking him. I just think that is B.S. I think he told him from the start Cassell is our QB that you will be working with do you want the job?

I think people are just upset about the draft right now, I know I am. But I find it funny how supposedly all this info leaks out ROFL

Like everyone was able to get the chiefs draft info and mocked all these players they were interested in. :D

Haley gets 2 years to make it right with all the changes?

The same reason we didn't take any Notre Dame players. Also the same reason why Pete Carroll didn't take Mays. How would the rest of your players react to that? He'd be a good 'ol boy. If Clausen started, it'd be b/c he's Weis's boy, and Clausen is enough of an idiot(not judging him too much, but Brady Quinn had better character and for some reason got his face smashed in) to say the wrong thing when accused of it. It'd be problematic in the locker room.

This.

If anything I think it would be the other way around. Let's face it, there WERE increasing revelations of Clausen's alleged immaturity.

Because it's fun.

Locker and who else? Luck? Name some so I can start watching them.

Locker
Luck
Mallett
Gabbert (maybe)

Oh I guess I didn't catch your sarcasm, DBOSHO. My bad.

If those players were "first round talent"...why were 31 other teams foolish enough to pass on them?

The fact that the Chiefs, with Weis passed on them should tell you something. They know more than we do.

The fact is, we can all piss and moan about players, but I guarantee there were players last year, and the year before and the year before that fans were upset about being passed on, that have flamed out.

"I can't throw'em and catch'em too!":)

Thanks DN. Right now I don't have much more info on them other than Locker locks on his receivers, Mallett sports a Mullet, Luck might bring us some and Gabbert sounds too French to be a tough minded QB. So based on those deep evaluations, Luck is my front-runner.;)

;)

All would be upgrades to what we have. Gabbert is my front-runner, and I'll be pimping his name incessantly throughout the next calendar year (assuming he declares), but I'd be thrilled to draft any of the four.
