Chiefs Interesting Chiefs News - Page 10

This comes from someone who has been an incredibly reliable source on this site in the past. Take it for what's it's worth.

If Claussen falls to around the 20-25th pick the Chiefs may package their 2nd round picks to move up in the draft to take Claussen. Weiss is telling all teams that contact him about Claussen that he is the real deal. Claussen will play in the NFL for 10-15 years.

Weiss is not sold on Cassell. He feels that he may not have the mental tools to be a successful QB without better players around him. He feels that he has the physical tools, but lacks the mental discipline thats needed to play the position. Both Haley and Pioli think Cassell will work out fine.

So what is gonna happen? Weiss wants a quality backup in place behind Cassell to push him. Croyle is not that backup. Everyone at Arrrowhead knows Croyle is not a long term solution so he can't really push Cassell to excel.

Enter Brady Quinn. The Chiefs had talks with Cleveland a couple of weeks ago about a trade to KC. But, the Browns trade demands were really stupidly high so the talks went no where seriously. If the demands come down, Quinn will be a Chief.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now the rest of this info is from other sources so get out that shaker of salt to take wth this information. Compiled from 4 different sources.

Supposely Buffalo talked to the Chiefs about a trade for Croyle.

Cleveland wanted the 2nd round pick plus a 5th rounder for Quinn.

KC was willing to part with a 4th-5th rounder for Quinn. Which one would depend on playing time,

Weiss and Cassell talk almost every day on the phone and in person. Long talks.

Nothing new with the Bowe wants a new contract before the OTA's situation. But, the Chiefs have put out trade feelers to gauge interest in Bowe but most were 4th-5th rounders.

Or maybe he talks to Weis like he talks to the media "What are you talking about Charlie I don't make mental errors"

Yea I'm sure that's all it takes to judge an NFL QB.

Wow.

If Charlie Weis wants Clausen really, really badly and the scouts like him too, I doubt Pioli would be too arrogant to say "no." The only reason he might is because he might think he sees better value in the 2nd or 3rd rounds (after all, he has historically taken a LOT of QBs in that area).

Now that's some inside info, A QB needs some better players around him to be successful.

Unfortunately this makes sense. Unless Weiss can convince Pioli we need a legit backup because Croyle sucks and is a walking bandaid. But even then Pioli would not use the #5 on him.

Cassel battled a ton of issues outside his control, and stayed pretty positive for the most part.

Cassel's mental toughness is the very least of my concerns.

I haven't given up on Cassel, but I don't necessarily agree. I was unpleasantly surprised at his leadership. There were games where his expression looked like he had almost given up, and he didn't seem to be firing up his teammates like I thought he would.

I think that's something that could get better with better coaching. But it's plenty of reason to be concerned. I think he might be a lot more hotheaded than we realized.

Why does it make sense? Wasn't his reputation in New England, according to many on the board, that he was a gopher for Bill Bellichick? Why do people think he's so arrogant that he won't listen to his coaches, especially the experienced ones? That's how he made his mark in New England.

I have a really really hard time believing they'd make that move, I don't even think Clark Hunt would ok it, so you want me to spend 100+ mill on QB's in 2 years?

No way Scott not happening Cassel is suppose to be the guy that's what you said.

It amuses me to hear what you think goes on in high level business meetings.

And his 2nd season was so bad, I mean why a 2nd year starter can't get the job done in a new offense, with a first year coach, with new WRs every week, and the O Line more fluid than water...is beyond me. The knee injury he suffered really had no barring on his play either, or the 13 days he had to learn a new offense before the season started.

We should just cut him...

Wow, that's some list of excuses you just made.

We aren't the Redskins here, I don't think Clark Hunt would be ok with the idea of being sold on 2 QB's being the franchise in 2 years and giving them both a lot of money.

Your attempt at facetiousness underscores the fact that Cassel, even when given a great offensive line and excellent skilled players around him, is nothing more than average.

Personally, I think that's his ceiling: Average.

Time will tell.

"You want me to spend how much on two DEs in two years?" /Clark

I see very little difference.
