Remember that line? How did that go? All we did was STILL take a risk on an unproven guy (Cassel is unproven, yes. One season does not a QB make) AND further our risk at #3 overall by not drafting a QB.

I don't think that Cassel is unproven. But, I think he is more proven that Sanchez or Stafford. It isn't just about on the field, it is about everything that goes into being a QB. Pioli knows that Cassel is a hard worker.
Don't you think it is a bit ironic that his former offensive coordinator and GM both get into a bidding war for the guy because they want him to be the QB of their team. Yet, Sanchez's coach talks about how Sanchez isn't ready.
I know, I Know, Pete Carroll is just SO competetive that he is willing to submarine his own player's draft prospects even though he has never done anything like that before. I guess Sanchez is the first player he has ever had come out early.
It is ridiculous to assert that the #3 pick is any "more" risky for the Chiefs. QB's are risky like any other position.
