Wow, this guy is smoking some serious weed...

And speaking of good career moves, Matt Cassel soon will leave New England, and it’s safe to say no athlete ever has left this region on better terms. Once the Patriots place the franchise tag on Cassel, the bidding officially will begin and the help the Patriots defense desperately needs will be on the way. No reason to think the Pats won’t parlay a backup quarterback into a starting corner and safety and maybe more.

Of course, a deal already could be in place. The Kansas City Chiefs, who have the third and 35th pick in April’s draft, really could use a quarterback. We hear Belichick has a good relationship with the Chiefs’ new general manager. It could be a win-win for both guys. Just like the old days.

Don't forget those young guys also have A LOT more talent.

Because it seems safer for some damn reason.

LJ and a 3rd rounder for cassel.

[Rain Man]

If we trade a high pick for Cassell, I'm going to start calling for Pioli to be fired.

Cassel could be this year's Derrick Anderson. There is NO WAY IN HELL you trade your first and second rounders for him...

This...

Do you really think we'll have to give them that much to take him?

Yep ---maybe a 3rd at most but if you don't ask you won't get.

Agreed. Don't be surprised of Tony Gonzalez is a Pat next year as part of trade for Cassel.

Nope. No more stupid at One Arrowhead Drive. Try Denver.

Or a member of the ass clown brigade at Chiefs Planet.

Many a head-first fall from the high chair, that's why.

Don't waste time with logic, it just sounds like refrigerator hum to these clowns.

Public crucifixion; nothing more, nothing less.

The one thing Thigpen has is mobility. With our O-line, even with the improvement, you'd better have mobility or you'll be trading draft picks away for a corpse to be named later. If you need the marquee franchise QB, you draft Sanchez or Stafford and keep building the line. At this stage in our development as a team, you don't give up picks, you get more of them.

Besides, from what I'm hearing (ok, it was one radio interview with Bob Ryan in Boston), the Pats may still need Cassel. Brady's knee might not be ready until October. Don't think that The Hoodie is going to give up September's schedule without one of those two guys in pen.

Speaking of mobility, Sanchez seems to throw very well on the run and isn't afraid to run. Unlike Thigpen, though...he actually seems to want to try and wing it down the field and not give up on the play so quickly. I like that. Despite what Petty Carroll says.

Unless he's coming from the 49ers we shouldn't do it.

Oh wait, that rule's done now.

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised to see the 49'ers as one of the teams we could trade picks with. I'm pretty sure that if we don't grab Sanchez/Stafford (assuming the Lions don't draft a wide receiver), whoever else wants the remaining player is going to want to get in front of Seattle. Why not a division rival?

I'd love to move down to 10 and scoop up a boatload of picks.

Will you be my friend?

Seriously, your assessment is correct, and I'll only add that Mark knows how to find an opening and gain yardage on foot like Thigpen, but he's faster than Thigpen.

Gotta go now. Keep up the good work! REP!

Yeah me too. But I sure hope they trade for him without giving up that hard earned #3 overall.
