Who thinks Cassel is the next Len Dawson?
 

I read in Gretz's column this morning that the Chiefs are trying to prevent all the fans from thinking that Cassel is the second coming of Len Dawson. He went on to say that it was impossible, because Chiefs fans already think that.

I am wondering who? Who really thinks that? I like the move because it gives us a good prospect for a second round pick. I like the move because I feel like Cassel is at the very least, a John Kitna type QB who can manage the game. That is a nice 'starting' point. It solidifies the position. They aren't under any pressure to draft a guy early to try to 'solve' a problem. Now, they can draft guys late at the QB position in hopes of developing them down the road.

I don't even look at Cassel as the absolute starter on opening day. Yes, I think it is likely that happens. However, if Thigpen takes a big step forward, and Cassel doesn't look great, then Thigpen 'could' be the guy.

In other words, I don't think that Cassel is the next Len Dawson. I 'hope' Cassel is the next Len Dawson. I think Cassel is still ascending in his career.

Heck, I hope that Cassel is the next Trent Green. Seriously, if Cassel can be as effective in this system as Green was in Saunder's system... then the Chiefs made a great move. Especially considering that Cassel would be able to play for a decade here, or nearly twice as long as Trent Green.

Anyways, I don't get the sense that the Chiefs fans think this guy is the next Len Dawson. Am I wrong? Do you think he is the next Len Dawson?

I really don't know. I just hope we improve this D, so Cassel can lead this team to some wins.

I dunno the same people who think Tamba Hali can play OLB?

Dawson? :spock:

Heck, I'd be pleased as punch if he's the second coming of Trent Green. :thumb:

Out of curriosity, I understand Hali is unlikely to become a OLB--even in the 3-4.

However, how did/does Vrabel get the job done there in your opinion? :shrug:

:hmmm:

Exactly. Trent was the best QB this team ever had (in Al's system).

Cassel is much better than Kitna. I'd say closer to a Brad Johnson when he was with the Vikings.

Len Dawson? How about Otto Graham while we are at it.

One thing the trade has done. It sure has exposed the truly dense media in both cities.

Glad to know we could have had Stafford instead of Brad Johnson with the Vikings.

Yea no kidding.

I enjoyed all the 180 views that happened in a finger snap.

The people that think Cassel is the next Len Dawson must be smoking some good stuff

I thought I was the only one, and I don't think he is the next Len Dawson... so, can't be me.

Maybe it is the same people who thought Sanchez was worth the #3 pick.

Only Lenny Dawson will ever be Lenny Dawson. That being said, the first time Cassle throws an interception, half of the goobers on this board will start calling him Casshole.

Because Vrabel is much bigger and faster than Tamba Hali... oh, wait.

I don't know, how did he do it for so long and be such a key member of three Championship teams and one team that was undefeated going into the Super Bowl?

HGH and roids make Mike Vrabel good, he was complete balls in Pittsburgh...

Don't take this post at face value either but dude has a huge jaw/chin so if you asked me if he ever did HGH I would judging on that say possibly.
