We'd still be better off with Sanchez waiting in the wings than Tyson Jackson.
Colt McCoy would look
real attractive right now waiting in the wings.
Ryan Fitzpatrick was a free agent who was signed two weeks after Scott Pioli took the Chiefs job.
Even if we had traded for Cassel, Our QB situation would look a lot better right now if we had:
A)Not signed him to a long-term deal
B)Brought in legitimate competition for the job
C)Signed him to a reasonable deal after 2009 (you can't just kick him to the curb immediately)and made him compete for his job with guys who are younger, have a lot more potential and have yet to hit their ceiling.
Or we could have just drafted Freeman and never been in this mess to begin with.
So yes, we should be bitching and moaning about this trade, not only because it was horrible, but because there was absolutely zero plan B.
