Ok. We'll see. The team looks terrible without Cassel. He's not been around for weeks.

Yeah, but is he talking about Todd or Scott?

This place is going to explode when the Chiefs draft OL at #8, and Cassel is trotted out there on opening day.

Oh Matt Cassel is a good QB, you had to watch a bad one the last 4 weeks, so now you will appreciate Matt. :banghead:

There is no way this team cannot draft a QB.

Season ticket sales are way down.

Gotta get the fanbase excited.

Peyton Manning.

This is my hope Omega. This is my prayer.

I would say Haley.

Did you see the NFL.com video? The majority of it is with Haley screaming at players, or showing a scowl.

Someone should have had the stones to ask Pioli why Palko is on the roster.

or Barry Richardson.

or Anthony frigging Becht.

Cassel was on the sideline on Sunday. Was surprised to see him since he had not made the trip to New England.

Blah, blah, blah. Every reporter claims they know what Pioli is going to do, and none of them are ever correct. How many of these guys who are now suddenly hearing X, Y, Z broke the story about Haley being fired before it was announced by the team?

IMO, last weeks "leak" to the press was in anticipation of this happening and finding out who had loose lips.

Expect that Matt Cassel will be the only viable QB in the roster next year.

Expect that Scott Pioli will continue to do business the way he's always done it.

And expect Clark Hunt to allow it all to happen.

Man the lifeboats.


Mike Silver in 20 minutes.

I think most knowledgeable people expect just that. Today kind of takes the mystery out of it.

This will happen

I've been expecting nothing less for weeks.

FYP.

If that happens, I guess we can give Pioli credit for that...

Cassel is the problem. What you cassel fans are forgetting is he wasn't very effective in the games he played either. Fine I'll throw you a bone bring him back but can we get a real QB if he fails once again?

The one consensus is that Pioli will not move on from Cassel.

Crennel as HC and McD as OC?

Who are you talking to?

Do Cassel fans still exist?

I'm 100% fine with all the talk being about staying loyal to Cassel. Less chance other teams think KC will make a move for a QB in April.

We are so ****ed until the team is sold.

way to throw em a bone dawg.

The bigger problem is that Jackson was picked at all. I get what you're saying, though. Once that pick was made, pouting & whining didn't help.

If we had a legit QB I would have no problem with that. Riley Rieff would make a great right tackle in the NFL. And going into year 4, this would be the expected type of pick.

So does Stanzi get to play now? Maybe he looks good enough that we have a QB controversy heading into next season. There's always hope.

Romeo was a disaster in Cleveland...but does that really tell us anything? Cleveland in general is a disaster.

FFS.....start Stanzi against the Packers.

It will be interesxting to see how the team responds to Romeo and the Haley firing.

Probably by getting blown out by the Packers.

LMAO He can shit himself like he has been for the last three years.

Mike Silver: Says a lot more about the GM than it does about Haley.

This. I am a long time fan but holy shit if you people cannot see this then we are all doomed. This is the most dysfunctional organization in recent years. All this he said, she said bullshit about an ass clown qb. Ill stand behind whoever wants a new qb and a lombardi. Whoever wants to keep playing the same game can go **** themselves

Silver confirming what Robinson said: Weis didn't believe in Cassel.

Meaning?

I'm getting the sense that we are ****ed as a franchise. Unless Pioli goes qb in the first round, I'd fire him on the spot.

LMAO No shit.

His defense has been hot and freezing all season long...

There is nothing exciting about Romeo as a HC...

More of the same shit...

Does anyone for a second really think Haley's attire, beard, or hiphop fandom had anything to do with his fate.

Seems like so much snarky bullshit

I don't see an exciting candidate out there. I'm afraid the wrong guy is gone.

Another implication from Silver that Pioli was rooting for Haley's failure, that he was spreading negative info to national media.

Doug Gottlieb on ESPN Radio - Haley being rumored for the Arizona St job and almost quit on his own last week.

I am telling you he was trying to get shit canned.

I believe that too.

All the more reason to believe that, despite the fact it needed to be done, firing Todd Haley doesn't move this franchise forward AT ALL.

Somewhere in there you could tell that Haley didn't give a **** about this team anymore.

Silver: Crennel will be a legitimate candidate. Pioli wants someone that will be in lockstep from the get-go.

Talk about Fisher and Cowher makes him laugh.

If true, then Haley will counter.

I seriously doubt it though. What negative news? Everyone knew Haley is a temperamental douche.

I picture him watching Palko tape, munching cheetos and laughing while sucks the cheeto dust off his fingers.

Silver: Pioli insecure, paranoid and never wrong. Laughable that Fisher or Cowher would want to work with that.

Two out of three will get you beat.

FAX

LMAO

Ouch.

Sounds like a fat kid grew up and became a millionaire.

Haley coaching college kids?

He will be fired after he suffocates one.

Won't happen.

I wonder if we've seen the last of Palko then?

Yet Pioli apparently didn't want Berry. When it comes to this, who knows what is true. Who was the genius behind us passing on Gronkowski for McCluster and/or Arenas and instead getting the oft injured Moeaki.

Whitlock wins.

As a student of popular culture and the media, I'd be interested in how you interpreted the press conference, Mr. Baby Lee.

Weis not believing in Cassel confirms my thoughts last year while watching the games when it was obvious that Cassel was being babied by the play calling. Haley's thought process may have been that we have to see what we have in him otherwise he himself would be let go.

Given all the turmoil the team has went through this season I'm more mad at Pioli than Haley. There was never any reason to give that huge contract that early to Cassel. They could have done more to strengthen the offensive line also. signing Lilja was a mistake, letting Brian waters go was a mistake. The cupboards are bare besides some of the guys that were left behind from Herm era. Not to mention all the injuries.

I would have liked to see Haley call the offense permanently and develop a QB.

Silver: No idea why Clark Hunt isn't more aggressive in acquiring talent. Must assume he likes sitting on tens of millions of dollars after stadium renovations.

I like Haley, I have from day 1, more than any coach we've had in the last 35+ years.

We're stuck with pioli and his puppet whomever that will be.

Personally I can't take much more of this.

I think our best hope at getting a qb in the draft early is for Hunt to step in and make a business decision.

Not likely but possible.

LMAO

Wright ripping Kornacki for her "OH, WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?" question.

If the impression that we're given about Pioli is true then I really hope Clark steps in and relinquishes some control, but Clark didn't hire the guy less than 3 years ago to have to jump in and do that.

Basically, every single decision Pioli made in 2009 has been an complete and utter failure.

I honestly don't know how much longer I can subject myself to this. It's pretty obvious that the REAL problem isn't Todd Haley...

Yep.

They were failures when he did them in 2009.

What?

Are you implying that the "Executive of the Decade" is to blame?

And the one 2009 decision we all thought was the worst at the time has turned out to probably be the best.


When Tyson Jackson is the best decision of the offseason. ......Well you get the point.

I remember the T-Jax pick. My brother called it about 30 seconds before they announced it. I laughed and was like "who the F is Tyson Jackson"...

I literally sat there like "what just happened". Sort of like i did when we drafted LJ.

Actually.....we got Ryan Succop. He belongs in the Chiefs 2009 Class HOF.

Merely a symptom of the problem.

Either way, I'm going to be patient with Pioli and allow him enough rope to hang himself.

His next moves are critical.

Here's a giant bowl of horse urine, Todd.

Now, go win one for Clark!

Babb: Haley was tired of the politics. Sick of people leaking things behind his back.

Good lord some tard just called into 810 and said they should hire Brian Billick and have Jeff Fisher be his assistant head coach.

Funny, because Haley was blabbing to Nick Wright constantly.

So this is like the third guy today that has implied that Scott Pioli was going out of his way to sabotage Haley, frustrate him and make him miserable.

LMAO talk radio is awesome.

Wow. Did they suggest Bill Cowher be the DC also?

tony dungy, and bring in manning as the OC. Trent Green for QB coach.

...to the ship!

Then the next tard said the Chiefs could somehow turn Orton into a second or third round pick. I thought the Chiefs were supposed to have a smart fanbase.
