If we could just combine Palko's awareness and heart with Cassel's ability and toughness...wait, we'd still have a piece of shit QB.

In the 20 some odd drives led by Palko we have 1 TD on a fluke
play on a hail Mary. I don't enjoy watching Palko
play at all. Cassel is a more viable QB even though his pocket mechanics and reads are worse. This is not an edirsement of Cassel, but a demonstration of how bad Palko is.

Indeed. If Cassel were in there, likely we'd have won against the Steelers and I believe we would have won yesterday as well.

BUT...Palko is fun to watch simply because he moves around, and also just seeing his fail has GOT to get the Chiefs in a better position to draft a QB while at the same time guys are getting some experience. The Defense I believe (barring injury) is going to be downright scary as hell next year. Add to that Charles, Moeaki and hopefully an improved QB and the Chiefs are going to be a good team.

When I watch Palko play I get the same empty inside, light headed feeling i get right after an huge shit.

Ok.

We don't have a thread featuring a guy who almost seems to be worshiping Tyler Palko.

There ya go. Glad to help out.

He'll make a good coach.

BoneKrusher 12-05-2011 07:33 AM

as opposed to Cassel, Yes.

And he can find receivers who are open down the field, not recievers who are blanketed damn near every single pass play.

Carry on.

I agree to a point too, because he's not the untouchable goldenboy when he ****s up.

Don't misunderstand. Still not a Palko fan but he's not as awful as some of you would like to think. He is what he is - a journeyman career backup from 3 leagues. That's not going to get you far but he is what we have for now and I happen to enjoy watching him scamper away from pressure. Haven't really seen that in 3 years.

Trust me, I do not worship Palko. But the dude is giving me hope. Hope that the front office can see the need for a real QB, and a real leader at the QB position.

Personally, I don't think Cassel is all that as a leader. His post game comments have to piss off his teammates. Such things as... "I impressed myself".

Palko on the other hand states he is bothered by the fact that he let his teammates down. And I think they are all paying harder... on both sides of the ball... but especially on defense.

I disagree completely. I think Pioli looks at the team with Palko and says that with the D playing like they are now, Cassel would be putting up more points and they'd be winning comfortably.

We are going to be on opposite sides of the fence on this one nj. You know the defense has to sit in on film sessions... if not live action on Sundays... and see Cassel miss open receiver after open receiver, and then say things like he was very good in his performance during the game. Same goes for the offense.
