From a physical standpoint, the comparison has merit.

Neither had/have exceptional arms, both were/are prototypical pocket passers who had/have enough mobility to escape the rush.

Both were/are accurate in the short to intermediate passing game.

Lenny threw a better deep ball, though, and he was the unquestioned leader of his Chiefs teams.
He also was as cool in pressure situations as any QB to ever play the game.

The fact that both were backups for years before moving to the Chiefs and getting the chance to be the team's starter also leads Gretz to that comparison.

Cassel has a long way to go before the comparison can gain any legs.
