Cassel played well enough last year to get a very large contract. If he threw nothing but interceptions from today until the end of the exhibition season, he'd probably still be the opening day starter for the Chiefs.

Instead, he played the first exhibition games with receivers who aren't the starters, and put 4 of 5 passes into their hands. The receivers dropped 2 of the passes, making it look as if Cassel struggled. I'm pretty sure that Haley's got the tape and understands that.

When Mark Castle wins the superbowl for KC, then we can celebrate...

Until then, some of us can with hold our expectations and realize he is nothing more than average with this weak ass talent around him...
