Ehh.... seems pretty clear that there are posters who are more emotionally invested in Cassel failing than they are in the team doing well. Whether you take that as them actually rooting against the team in order to buttress their position, or just being complete douchebags towards a specific player, is largely a matter of individual interpretation.

With Matt it was never about numbers for me. I don't need a QB that throws for 300 yards every game. I needed a QB that didn't look like he was about to crap himself anytime his first WR wasn't open. I needed a QB that didn't lock onto that one WR and throw into triple coverage (did this alot last year). I needed a QB that would step into this throws and feel the pressure around him. Matt is all of those things now. He is moving around in the pocket. Rarely throws into bad situations, steps into the throws (anyone else notice his accuracy went up as soon as he started doing this) and finds the open guy. He is doing everything I wanted him to do at this point. He's not Tom Brady but then very few guys are. Everyone that is like TB can be found in Canton. Those guys don't come along often. |

While I think your premise is reasonable, albeit flawed (Pitt from last year comes quickly to mind), I don't think it extends to all the bashers. There's no doubt in my mind that there are Chiefs fans posting here who would get more satisfaction from a Cassel int against the Raiders that cost the Chiefs a postseason spot than they'd get from a Cassel TD strike that resulted in a come-from-behind victory and locked up the division title. They are just that invested in the notion of Cassel failing.

If you are dedicated in finding flaws in something you will. Especially in sports.
I can spot clients that are dedicated to being unhappy from miles away. I don't need their business. |

Why would anyone get bent out of shape about Cassel, TJ, or any player if they weren't invested in seeing thus team do well? Sent from my Teddy Ruxpin using Tapatalk |

And I think there there is probably small group of people who are that are invested in the notion of failing. But I don't think it's going to be more than a handful, at most, and I believe that the majority of the posters that I believe that TRR is referring to will come around when Cassel meets the requirements I'm talking about.

As far as MC goes I wasn't that unhappy with him last year. There were a number of reasons he got a pass from me last year but the big one being that the ****ing offense was thrown out before the season even started.
I expected more from him with a full training camp with this new coaching staff and just the same year under his belt that the whole organization was enjoying. I was pretty disappointed at the start. Not throwing in the towel but being disappointed that I was seeing the same kind of stuff I did last year. However, there would be flashes of not just good passes but great passes. You could tell it was getting there. I also thought it was weird how he would seem to not do well with out established offense but when we were in 2 min situations he would zip the ball down just fine. Like that hurry up mentality made things more simplified. Somewhere along the season I remember seeing improvement and feeling like he graduated from "bad to inconsistent" he would show us things but enough to where you felt comfortable to deliver. Then he went from "inconsistent to good" you could just see this was a guy who was making passes and leading this team. It was soooo nice to see. If you aren't sold yet then oh welllll. |

I'd say it goes down like this in terms of what the bashers want: 1. Chiefs win and Cassel plays poorly (We win, and I'm right!) 2a. Chiefs win and Cassel plays well (I'm wrong, but at least we won) 2b. Chiefs lose and Cassel plays poorly (I told you so!) 3. Chiefs lose and Cassel plays well (FML)

Don't you think that, in many cases, he has met their initial requirements only to watch as the goalposts are whisked away?

TRR is correct. Some people come out from under their bridges when Cassel plays poorly.
