Chiefs This far in, would you say Cassel was the only option for the Chiefs?

RedThat · 11-24-2009, 01:27 PM

I think so.

Really what could they have done to upgrade the QB position? Not much. They had no shot at Stafford, or, Matt Ryan from the previous year.

They were in range to draft Sanchez, but Id be more content with Cassel to this point since Sanchez is playing terrible.

What else could they have done? stick with Croyle or Thigpen? I was content when Thigpen was playing well, and thought we had some sort of chemistry, connection with Gailey's spread offense and Thigpen. But that all fell apart when the new regime took over.

I can't think of anything else? they could have traded up and try to get either Stafford or Ryan, but we know that would have been too costly. I guess he was the Chiefs best bet? Best thing is to just sit back, have some patience and wait for him to develop over time.

This won't end well.

I dont know, I would have liked to see Croyle get a fair shot, but with this OL, it was gonna be bad QB play no matter what

Cassel > Sanchez

(Right now at least)

Deberg_1990 · 11-24-2009, 01:31 PM

Even though he hasnt played well as of late, we passed on Flacco twice.....

**The Franchise** · 11-24-2009, 01:32 PM

If we had drafted Sanchez and he struggled.....it's easier to forgive because he's a rookie.

When Cassel struggles.....it's harder to forgive because he's been in the NFL longer. Yes he has less talent around him....but he's still held to a higher standard.

I've been giving Cassel shit all year but really I think he has a pretty good game.I think he needs a lot of help,and he'll prob get some next year if we can keep him alive that long.So I think we did ok in picking up Cassel.

oh yeah I forgot about him.

Jury is still out for me. I would have been thrilled with Stafford/Sanchez sitting on the bench a season or 2 and let Croyle play.

Fairplay · 11-24-2009, 01:36 PM

Currently i feel sorry for whoever you could think of being our QB this year.

Im with you on this one.

I think he has the playmakers, but I say get him some lineman.

This.

But, I am pretty happy with Cassel as well, I just think he is overpaid for what he is, but I'd rather overpay and have him than be struggling to find someone else ofer the next handful of seasons.

chiefsfan4life1978 · 11-24-2009, 01:39 PM

he definitely wasn't the only option but i believe that he was the best option. i think he'll prove to be the best option in the near future.

**HemiEd** · 11-24-2009, 01:39 PM

Cassel has done some things to impress, but I still think Brodie Croyle has more talent. Hopefully Cassel continues to improve, and he seems to be a tough guy, so it could turn out good.
