They aren't QBs, that could make a difference. I don't see how you can be 80% sure of that. I hope they don't put a far from 100% Cassel in, I really don't. I think Brodie could play a lot better vs STL than he did vs SD. If Cassel is close to or at 100% then yes it's an obvious go, but I don't see how that's 80% for sure. You do realize he has to be ready in time to practice, right? He can't just show up on Sunday and play without practicing all week.
Edit: I just saw the 2nd person you said is Roethlisberger. Yeah he's a QB, and I believe the game he played in was 14 days after the emergency appendectomy. That's a longer period of time than Cassel's situation, and Roethlisberger is the quickest time in NFL history for a QB to play in a game after one. I'm gonna assume Roethlisberger is a lot tougher than Cassel and guess Cassel doesn't play this Sunday. However, the Chiefs need him a lot worse than Pittsburgh needed Ben in a week 2 game, so who knows. I hope Matt plays, I just don't think it's that likely. Definitely not 80%, not even close to that right now, we know nothing.
