ChiefsPlanet - View Single Post - Chiefs WTF? Matt Cassel is the #1 rated QB in the NFL the last 5 games? True?

You can feel uneasy about Cassel, that's fine. He is a little skitish in the pocket and not the most accurate passer. But what this statisitic is, really, is an efficiency rating. He's not turning the ball over, he IS completing passes and throwing TDs. On top of that he isn't taking a lot of sacks.

The three best players on KC's offense are Charles, Jones and McCluster. Run the ball. If they want Cassel to improve as a thrower, they'll have to throw the ball more. It's that simple. CP users want him to be a accurate thrower and franchise QB, but if you don't get but 18 attempts a game, you aren't getting a lot of reps to improve. I think they could put him in better situations (play action, roll outs) that take advantage of his athletic ability, but hey, KC is 4-2, who am I to gripe?
