They also appear to like Brodie Croyle too much to go for Clausen or any other quarterback in an early round.

According to BRC's report, it also doesn't appear that Croyle is anybody's guy. Why not trade him to Buffalo so he can be reunited with Chan? Not that he'd necessarily be the QBOTF in Buffalo, but he's familiar with Chan and on some level, more than any other Bill, with his system.

Hence the reason why I'm not opposed to getting Clausen, It sucks that the guy is blackballed, but if KC has contingency plan with Clausen as the QBOTF then pull the trigger. Furthermore, If Weis isn't convinced that Cassel is the right man for the job then erase that doubt, and get the player he wants. Funny thing is Pioli probably gave a pitch that Cassel is a young Tom Brady, but he probably gave him an eyebrow raise, and said "Scott, get me my boy Jimmy Clausen"

Could you even imagine the media meltdown if we actually drafted him?

Personally I don't think it would be a bad idea and I'm not one that is ready to hang Cassel from the nearest tree. I wasn't as open to it a month ago or so, but at the end of the day I've pretty much decided that the problem San Diego had with Brees & Rivers, would be a good one to have. Same scenario with Warner & Leinart, Montana & Young. IF the structure of Cassel's contract really was set up to be able to cut loose of him after 2010, without much of a cap hit, they need to do what is in the best LONG TERM interest of the Chiefs. It may not be popular among the "win now" crowd but they'll forget what side of it they were on when we are winning playoff games because we have a Pro Bowl QB.

Before one of you bass-turds says it, I'm certainly not saying Cassel is Warner, Montana or Brees.
