Anyone?

I'd have been dancing if this deal had somehow fell through.

And The Fourteen continue to twist painfully in the wind...

Your right, it was a crushing blow...

It wasnt ideal by any means, but hey, this franchise actually thought Herm was a NFL level coach... So that tells us something...

While there seem to be lots of comparisons out there to Derek Anderson and Scott Mitchell, one thing is at least encouraging to me. In both Mitchell and Anderson's case, before they got their big contracts, and subsequently, they were never 60% passers. Cassel did complete 63.4% of his passes. So if a guy can at least be accurate, and not turn the ball over, he's got a good shot at success. Whether Cassel can turn into the next Tom Brady or the next Kurt Warner, or whether he'll just be adequate, or whether he'll be a disaster, we'll see. But if Pioli's history is any proof, while he may not use the #3 pick on a QB, he's probably going to be looking for QB's somewhere in the draft every year to bring in and compete for a spot, so if Cassel doesn't end up being the starter for the next ten years, I wouldn't be surprised if someone else we draft is in a few years...

Absolutely. "Revolving Roster". Chiefs fans are used to watching guys who have passed their prime and usefulness stick around for whatever reasons.

You can kiss THAT shit goodbye. This is a 'bidness', now baby!

And I like it.
