1. The Chiefs get a QBoTF if Cassel doesn't pan out.
2. Clausen would come cheap as shit and he'd have a chip on his shoulder.
3. IF Cassel does pan out....then Clausen can sit and be an awesome backup for a couple of years. Look at the McNab/Kolb situation. That would have been us.
But now if Cassel sucks...we're back to square one. If Cassel is good....then we're going to be going QB sometime soon because Cassel isn't ****ing young.

The inverse is also true: If Cassel doesn't work out, the next QB walks into a situation with a young but veteran offensive line along with at least two dynamic offensive players in Charles and McCluster (not to mention Bowe).
Pioli is just taking a different route than what some people expected (playmakers vs. NT & ILB, etc.).
