The Chiefs wins do not necessarily mean that Cassel was successful in those games.
The Chiefs won the home opener in 2010 in spite of Cassel's "successful" 68 yard passing performance.

I don't think they are so meaningless. Unless Cassel has run support nearly to the extent that Tebow had in Denver, the chance he is going to win a ballgame become nearly non-existant. In fact, I was just doing research on what it was that the Chiefs/Cassel did so well in 2010 that would give us optimism of a repeat performance in 2012. The running totals in the games we won... and the Houston game that we should have won... were nearly mind boggling.
Only then, did I decide to see how close those rushing stats were to what Denver had to put up in order for Denver to have success with Tebow at the helm last season. To my surprise, we were nearly dead even.
