Chiefs Think we'll set another record this year?

I really do feel sorry for Cassel and thats not an excuse for his play, he has not been good lately.

Think about it though, this guy has taken a back seat forever. He's just a guy who likes playing football and was good enough to put himself thru college doing it at the best QB college in the nation, but had to back up two of the best QB's (Heisman winners) in college football. Then despite never starting a college game, gets drafted by a team to serve as a backup to the best QB in the NFL. He rides the bench collecting a nice paycheck, for little work, then he finally gets his shot. Brady goes down and Cassel comes in and looks like an all pro. A year ago, everyone loved him and he finally felt appreciated. Then he gets the franchise tag and everyone says "oh, if the Patriots think he's worth the tag, he must be great."

Next thing you know he ends up here and Pioli's dumb ass gives the kid a contract so big that it pops the blood vessels in his eyes and we call him our starter, but put him behind a crap line and make him throw to crap receivers, with a crap offensive coordinator and no QB coach.

Seriously, going from NE to here, you know he has to feel like this is the most dysfunctional place on the planet.

I really can't believe Pioli was stupid enough to pay him before the season began when we didn't need the cap relief.
