I Cassel does pan out the we are one year ahead. It's all give and take.

28-year-old QBs don't pan. We know what he is.

Cassel is what he is.

You are right. Cassel isn't a 'great' QB. He probably never will be a 'great' QB. He is what he is. He is a hard worker. He is a great leader. He will be a good game manager.

So, when the Chiefs have the opportunity to grab one of the great ones.... they need to do it. It isn't someone like Clausen who has entitlement issues and a slightly better than average arm. This isn't Matthew Stafford here.

Now, I will say that I don't think that the Chiefs will have a chance to draft a QB in the top ten again for a while. On paper, they look like an 8-8 club. So, that puts them middle of the pack. That probably means that they won't draft a franchise QB unless they luck into one.

All that said, it is still better than wasting a pick on Clausen. He may be a great QB someday, but just coming to the Chiefs wouldn't have helped him. #1) He has had Weis for the last three years. He would have felt even more entitled than he already does. He needed to have the wake up call of not being drafted by Weis. He needed to have the wake up call that the immaturity that he has shown is not acceptable.

I still think the Panthers won't see much out of him.... but at least they got him in the best possible scenario.
