Top 10: Regrettable NFL Offseason Decisions
No.1 - Kansas City Chiefs trade for Matt Cassel

A silent alarm should have sounded for the Chiefs when the New England Patriots sold off “franchise” Matt Cassel for such a cheap price. Getting good value from Bill Belichick is like getting a good deal from a greasy used-car salesman: you’re lucky if you get what you pay for.

Cassel looked shiny and nice while he was on Belichick’s lot, but so have many players. Belichick makes his squad into overachievers and then sells high, only to see his parts fail elsewhere. See: Deion Branch, David Givens and Ty Law.

The Chiefs also signed Cassel to the richest contract in franchise history before he even played a snap, which may have been premature. A simple six-month test drive wouldn’t have hurt.

He has ”bust” written all over him and his early struggles in training camp are just the early evidence that the Chiefs got a lemon.

First, no one is arguing that.

Second, the throw for a 15 or 20 yard out is completely different than a 40 yard throw downfield.

No it's not.

Ignoring it is stupid.

That ball wasn't "laid up." The DB had tight coverage. A quarterback with a weaker arm might have had it intercepted.

First, you aren't arguing with someone who thinks Cassel is a weak armed QB.

Second, the ball PLACEMENT on that throw is what was important. Granted, had it been 'underthrown'... then that would have been a problem.... but the speed at which it gets there, other than the timing for the WR is largely unimportant.

Anyone and everyone ever to stand within a few feet of Bill Belichick is just an unreal genius who knows that the way to success in the NFL is to switch to a 3-4 regardless of what talent is on the roster and then give up anything and everything for a USC backup QB, including that no-good Jay Cutler.



My Chief offseason:

FIX THE OL = 1) Eugene Monroe ... and undrafteds Darryl Harris and Edwin Williams, and likely Jamon Meredith with that Round 5er. Yeah, hindsight is... OK, I would have Drafted all of those higher... and kept the 4-3, kept Jason Babin who was showing something, and grabbed Ron Brace in Round 2 to pair with Dorsey and STOP THE RUN...


The Pioli strategy has to be questioned. The OL was the overwhelming #1 need, and what... Colin Brown in Round 5, Goff as a UFA??? Man, that just doesn't exactly impress me at all. I'd call that the #1 goof or "regrettable decision" this offseason, with Cassel a Chief behind the goof of the attempt to make Cassel the Bronco...

I love archives...

Matt Cassel was a backup at USC for a reason. The reason is that he really does not have a strong arm. Cassel floats anything more than 25 yards or so. Good thing the Chiefs don't have any "deep threats" because they would be "decoys." Cassel is smart, has a reasonably quick release, and is better than most NFL backup QBs. The way to stop Cassel is to play tight, safeties up, jump routes, and dare him to throw it deep, because he can't zip a deep ball. Even the Raiders will eventually figure it out...

Ooooppppsss... too much truth, time to ban that TFG poster...
