Chiefs Cassel or Sanchez? - Page 6

KCBOSS1 · 04-11-2009, 06:45 PM

I realize that we are where we are, but the more I see about Sanchez, the more I'm afraid that a few years down the road, we may look back and realize that we passed up on the franchise guy that we've been looking for. I know that Cassel played ok last year, but is he a franchise guy? ...likely not. Thoughts?

I'm more than willing to trust their judgment.

Or it's that they're from the Belichick/Parcells style of thinking which prefers guys they personally like and are familiar with over anything else.

God damn it, we have a franchise LT.

Why the hell does anyone think we need another?

Seriously, why?

Our fan base is so ridiculously Oline obsessed. The only way anyone could realistically suggest to me taking an OT would be if the Chiefs somehow traded down twice and picked like 15th and got a ton of picks doing it.

You really think hes going to hold a grudge and want paid like a LT when hes been playing OG for the last four years(at that time)? If hes a little bitch like that he should be traded then, but I don't see that happening. I think this is just a lame excuse people are making up. Especially if Pioli/Haley make the Chiefs into a winning team by then... he would be willing to stick around for less unless everyone in the locker room hates him for some reason...

Sure that's the 1 exception, lets be frank the blueprint of that tree has more to do with getting a QB they are comfortable with than anything else.

We just watched one of them run his teams young franchise player out of town over it.

If we are talking about giving him an extension now then yes, but down the road things change...

Well, the teams that don't draft an LT and move their better LT to Guard won't be the same as teams that do. The teams that don't will be unequivocally better.

He's played LT and will want to keep playing LT. He's not being a little bitch if he knows he can play a more important position and he wants to get paid like he can.

I don't see any star potential there, I see league average QB.

And no offense or anything but Mark Sanchez has better mechanics and a much quicker release. And there are several of us that talked about Sanchez at 3 much much longer than a month ago.

I know your a Sanchez advocate, and I do think he will be a good QB in the league as well. I don't however think he is going to be a franchise QB like you do....So I would rather go with Cassel, and free up the third pick for another player. If KC somehow can get a king's ransom for Cassel, and secure Sanchez...I have no issues with that other than Sanchez's learning curve. Otherwise...

Cassel or Sanchez....Cassel all day, everyday.

no i really think that as a business man he would want to be paid to the level of his service and after PROVING that he is probably going to be a VERY GOOD TO ELITE LT he will want lt money

Isn't one of the arguments for Cassel that he's played in the NFL is 27 and isn't a rookie and all of that?

If I'm going to be given the young QB excuse then whey are we developing a 27 year old one instead of a 22 year old one?

Because its the best player on the board... there isn't much value this year and who knows if we are able to trade down... Oline is a weakness for this team also..

Well, there's a reason that its overdiscussed. There's always a bunch of people that are terrible with respect to football knowledge, and others that have a compulsory need to point out the sheer stupidity in others. Its the perfect storm of argument known as ChiefsPlanet.
