But he was by far one of the best players on the field for the Chiefs.
I don't think Cassel could have done much more out there even if he was 100 percent.

I don't know about that. The first half of play lost us the game. We didn't get any first downs until the final minutes of the half. When I saw the 20 minutes TOP in the first half, my first comment in the bar was "the defense is going to be completely gassed."
I don't blame Brodie for that. That's what I would expect from a backup QB playing behind this o-line. But I think most people would agree that Cassel would have gotten off to a better, quicker start.
As I've always said, I really like Croyle. He's a really good QB. but his injury history is still a major concern and I still laugh at anyone who thinks that one injury-free game suddenly makes him less of an injury concern. He has to prove that he can play 15 more injury-free games as a starter to ever take away that label.
