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.

Clausen would be drafted by his old head coach which would have excused him immaturity and perpetuated bad behavior.
Cassel isn't old. He has 9 years or so left in the league. Second round draft picks sign three years deals. He would be long gone by then.
Clausen wouldn't do well as a backup. He would undermine Cassel. It is one thing to compete for a starting spot, it is another thing to pout when it doesn't happen.
Clausen is a tool. He has always been a tool, and the one good thing that happened is that his former head coach didn't want him on this team. That may wake him up and help him to realize that the world doesn't revolve around him.
