Matt Cassel did something yesterday I didn't think possible...
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/...lQSz9z.Xf.uLYF
Look at his YPA for yesterdays game...3.9, how the **** do you only have 3.9 yards per attempt in a game? That is laughably awful. |

I'm not sold on Cassel yet and we could have damned well jumped the gun on ol' boy. But I don't get that some seem to throw all the blame on him when what we got protecting him is pure shit and he has weapons that constantly drop the ball and can't get seperation. |

Can we change the name of this thread to "Mecca is butthurt over not drafting Sanchez"
I wanted Sanchez, too. Cassell is our QB. Deal with it. Bashing him now is pointless until this team can acquire/develop talent. Be pissed at Pioli, he traded for him. Greens 1st season here was awful too until we got a some pieces in place. |

Entirely different circumstances. Testaverde was brought in because they weren't sure if Cassel would be healthy enough to last the season and they needed a veteran who could immediately step in and take reps. Cassel was kept on the roster because they believed in his upside.

Maybe... But Kyle Orton's 6-0 and has a horseshoe up his ass. He seems to win regardless of how little talent we all think he has.

Did the geniuses who all predicted the Chiefs would start out 1-6 ( most said win vs Oakland, loss to everyone) think they would look good going 1-6? People need to relax and look at history. Rebuilding teams usually look worse at first. Parcells first year in NE they started 1-11, included was a nationally televised 45-0 loss to the Jets. I guess they should have fired Parcells. Joe Gibbs Redskins started 0-5 in 1981. Point is, you need to let the year play out. The thing is, Mecca and his boys will rag on them if they went 14-2 because he has to be proven right. Until the Lombardi Trophy is hoisted they will do nothing but bitch about everything because that's what they do. That's their thing. Too bad. Because it ruins the enjoyment
That '93 Patriots won its final 4 games to go 5-11 and it was one of most enjoyable times as a fan I ever had. Posted via Mobile Device |

The fact that he went against the value of the '09 draft and forced an immediate switch to the 34 when a more effective play would have been to place a higher priority on the OL and make the switch with the next draft, a deep defensive draft makes me question his plan. The fact that the only players he's signing are almost all players that he or Haley have a history with makes me question his talent evaluation. He better have one hell of an offseason to make me think he's anything more that the Hoodie's glorified ball washer.

Why would we?
We'd just have a short Cassel clone.

The moves made by Pioli, and those not made are real head scratchers.
Defense alone: - Hiring Clancy to run a 34. - Not addressing a pass rusher - Not addressing NT - Drafting Tyson Jackson at 3 and then using him as a 2 down lineman all year. A top 5 pick on a 2 down player? Yikes. - Drafting Magee in the 3rd. - Not being more active in free agency with the front 7.

Chan Gailey made chicken salad out chicken shit by going to the spraed, much the same as Josh Mcdaniel did in New England with Matt Cassel. Neither Thigpen or Cassel have shown any talent to play out of a pro set, and Thigpen would be every bit as bad now playing in this offense as he was playing against Atlanta this year. He was absolutely horrible in the preseason when Cassel was hurt trying to play in this offense. He actually made us long for Cassel to return.

5-6 years? Young, 7-8 years? The problem with QBs whose career takes off later in thier careers is that they give you a short window before you have to go out and replace them. Teams that consistently stay at or near the top of the heap have more stability at QB. To get that kind of long term stability you have to either find it in the draft or find guys like Brett Favre or Matt Hasselback, guys with only one or two years in the league as backups. Guys like Matt Cassel are better options for teams further along. Building a team around a 27 year old career backup is a bad plan. By the time this team is ready to compete, he'll be 30 and might allow this team to compete for 5-6 years, assuming that he is what Pioli thinks he is, and he doesn't have his confidenc destroyed or his body broken by then.
