Cassel is not great, but I don't have a problem with him. We gave up a second rounder for a average starting QB. He's not going to win you games on his own, and the Chiefs have had a whole bunch of QBs just like him, but the Chiefs had NOBODY at the start of 2009. He's equal to or better than Mark Sanchez, so I'm glad we didn't go that route. Maybe I'm being to easy on Pioli saying we could have done worse, but it's true.

I'm pissed about the QB decision. Not because of the Matt Cassel decision, but their arrogance to think he was so good that they didn't need to bring in competition.

Pioli should have known Cassel was a very rough work in progress. And that being said, should have made a significant effort to bring in a young QB to legitimately compete. He waited 3 years to do that, and even then, waited until the 5th round.
