I actually enjoy watching Palko play QB
 

I know I am going to be in the major minority, but the dude is far, far easier for me to watch than Cassel. His pocket presence, and movements within the pocket are not painful to watch. When he is on the move outside the pocket, I actually expect something positive to happen. And he can find receivers who are open down the field, not recievers who are blanketed damn near every single pass play.

Carry on.

And that's how bad it's gotten for Chiefs fans.

He studies really hard for each game. One of the most prepared guys on the team.

Go watch Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees then re-evaluate your love of watching Palko play QB.

Has cassel ever beat a D like the bears? Nope

You must switch the channel before he actually releases the ball.

He uses 20 grit for toilet paper and has raped more women than any other QB that has graced the state of Pennsylvania. Save one...

Hell, no.

But Palko just did. And he did it the way it's supposed to be done ... by swinging at their nuts with our luck cat.

It was grand!!!

Beat the Steelers in 2009. 5th ranked defense in case you didn't know. Better than the Bears.

Wow...I'm sorry you enjoyed that.

I just said I enjoy watching him compared to Cassel. The dude does give me hope that the front office can see that a major upgrade is needed at the QB position... and that the Cassel experiment has failed. Palko makes plays behind the same offensive line that Cassel can not even see. And I for one, have enjoyed watching that piece be brought to light.

Yeah, but he needed a running game to do it.

I like watching Palko better than Cassel too. Still want a giant upgrade but I do like watching him move around the pocket and not get statue sacked.

I hope this is a joke, but I'll say to this the same thing I say about Tebow. Palko didn't beat the Bears defense. The Chiefs defense beat the Bears offense.

He certainly isn't any worse.

Exactly.

Rodgers and Brees are better than Palko? Say it ain't so!

Charles ran for 58 yards... Less than what McCluster just put up against the Bears, with 6 more carries.

Seriously though ... I'm with you, Mr. Coogs.

The line did Palko no favors today. Not only did they point him out to the defense, but they killed some drive deals with stupid penalties. We had 2nd and 3 at one point that wound up being 2nd and 13 that turned into a punt, for example.

Palko has mobility, learns from his mistakes, and does the moose ears better than any other quarterback in the league at this point.

I agree that it is easier to watch Palko play than Cassel. Cassel can't think under pressure, he panics. Obviously, Palko doesn't have the arm to be anything more than a backup, though. (Obviously, Cassel doesn't have the head to be anything more than a backup.)

Lol did not read.

The mere threat of Charles causes enemy defenses to question their manhood.

FAX

Everything is pretty kosher until he releases the ball.

And he only got sacked twice. I fear Cassel would have went down as many times as the stiff playing for the Bears did today. In fact, I told my son that Henne's (sp) play at QB reminded me a whole bunch of watching Cassel. Painful!

Saying you like watching Palko play QB compared with Cassel is like saying you like looking at Rosanne naked versus Rosie O'Donnell.

What is the point?

I agree with coogs. Other than arm strength, which is likely a fatal long-term flaw, I think he may beat Cassel in every other facet of the game. I can see why the Chiefs have kept him on the roster.

I'll admit, though, that arm strength is a hard thing to teach. That's a problem.

Thigpen Part II.

Palko has won more games than Brodie Croyle :D

When I watch Palko play, I cannot get my mind around how he was able to play at the college level. Seems like most guys I know with four working limbs should have been able to get a full-ride scholarship to Pitt if he did. I can't even comprehend how he played QB in high school. He is an unmitigated walking cluster**** of a disaster.

With a bear scalp hanging from his belt.

FAX

lol I wish. Thigpen was better. And Thigpen could catch passes too.

I agree. But our offense with Cassel at the helm looks far more like the Bears offense did today. Just damn painful to watch.

And there are QB's out there that can do things like Palko can, plus have better arm strength. One that comes to mind for me is in the draft. RGIII. But that is JMO

You're right
He did in 3 starts what Brokie couldn't do in 11(?)

Palko has done nothing but suck, including today. He single-handedly lost us the Pittsburgh game, even though the defense played inspired, crazy-awesome football for four quarters to make it a would-have-been lay-up win with any offense.

I know we're in the minority, but like you, when Palko goes back I don't expect the worst, which is unfortunately the case whenever I see Cassel drop back.

Granted, Palko is likely statistically worse than Cassel on things like interceptions, so I'm not sure why I feel differently about them. Interceptions aside, I think it's because I don't see Palko doing inexplicable things like throwing the ball 20 yards into the stands instead of looking at his second read.

Compared to Cassel, yes.

Overall, LMAO

Thigpen couldn't play from under center though.

He was much more entertaining anyway.

Yeah, I think all of us would enjoy watching Rodgers or Brady in a Chiefs uniform more. But compared to Cassel, I actually enjoy watching Palko more. With Cassel I always wince when he drops back, and with Palko I don't.

Has the Chiefs ever won a game with a QB they drafted

Yes. But I believe I saw a stat the other day that siad it had been in the ball park of 25 years since that had happened.

Blackledge?

If we are just comaring him to Cassel then ok. His slow release, horrible ball, awful accuracy at times, and noodle arm, comparing him to a QB that we actually need to win a SB is much different.

Cassel's 2nd rounder we spent is pretty much the equivalent of drafting a franchise QB /reeruns at Arrowhead Pride

I heard ol Petro say the Steelers slept walked through that game
Why would a team who got beat last time they played a Haley shitty Cheifs team in Arrowhead
Sleep walk

What Palko shows is that our O-line is not total crap. What he also shows is that we do have receivers that are open down the field. He shows that if and when we do get an actual NFL QB in here, that this offense might not be all that bad.

Not for a very loooong time.

I don't know if we have ... ever won a game with a quarterback we drafted, I mean.

I'm sure we have ... haven't we?

FAX

No shit

Keep ****ing doubting Tyler Palko!!!1!1!!

Mike Elkins?

Yeah I know...Who?

I'm thinking outside the box, besides Todd Blackledge, the obvious one.

He's showing how good the rest of the offense is by scoring 1 TD on a lucky hail mary over the course of 3 games?? The offense isn't good. Is it primarily the fault of the QB, yes. But the offense is not playing well by any stretch of the imagination.

Mike Livingston.

This:

I would say not only would the offense be "not all bad", but it would be pretty damn good. With a solid QB and Charles this offense would be really good right now. Add to that fixing the RT issue and it would be even better.

I disagree. It is quite painful actually. Team is forced to run Herm ball on speed because he has the arm of a limp noodle.

Good tempo, decent awareness. Anything that requires physical skill? Full fail.

I absolutely hate watching this piece of shit QB.

I have reached the point with Cassel that I don't care who is at QB. I would rather watch Muir out there at QB over Cassel. The more I think about it that would be entertaining.

No

sr how thoughtful of you

I think Cassel sucks as much as the next guy, but seriously...

Palko is the worst QB I've ever seen in a KC uniform Ever.

Guy has started 3 games and our only TD was a hail mary. Someone must really enjoy punting. You could give Palko 10 HOFers and play the 2002 KC defense 16 times and he'd never put up a mediocre 6th alternate probowl type season like Cassel did.

I'm not complimenting Cassel either. You guys are just nuts if you think Palko is better.

You forgot about Charles' kickoff return for a TD. Can't remember if one of Studebaker's interceptions went for a TD or not. We had a lot of help from big plays to win that one.

I didn't say he was great. I just happen to enjoy watching him play. I enjoy the fact he owns up for his mistakes. And it seems as if the rest of the team enjoys playing for him.

Breath of fresh air compareed to Cassel. Cassel looks just like the Bears QB today in many more ways than one.

It'd be fun to bring Muir in for a few snaps at some point, just to see how he'd do.

I didn't know they made Medicine Footballs and I haven't figured out why they make Palko use them.

cassel......or the arm...or the footwork.....or the swagger/balls....or anything that is needed to be a successful qb in the nfl

Huard's wobble launcher > Falco

Like I said, I know I am in the minority. This place is not easy to go against the mainstream thinking, but I like a lot of the things I see him do. I just wish he had an arm.

I don't know what some were watching. For me it was painful. The only positive thing he did was hold onto the ball. He does a lot of things better than Cassel, which is embarrassing considering the lack of experience Palko has. We won today because their QB struggled more than ours did. He wasn't moving the ball. The team averaged 5.2 YPA, very Cassel-like numbers. We punted 11 times. He was replaced in the middle of the game only to come back due to injury. I can't watch more of Tyler Palko.

The Bears' fear of him made Thomas Jones look unretired

It is hard to get worse than 3 turnovers in 3 plays, but really since that point he has played pretty solid football. Not spectacular, but solid.

And our defense is playing lights out since then too. It may not be a coincidence. I belive this team was closer to quiting on Cassel than they are to quiting on Palko. Both sides of the ball.

Here are some stats for a QB's first 11 games.
155 for 293 52.9 comp per 1749 yards 9 td's 18 int 159.0 yards per game 55.7 rating 19 sacks

Elway? He really stank.
