Chiefs WTF? Matt Cassel is the #1 rated QB in the NFL the last 5 games? True? - Page 3

**BigRedChief** · 07:19 PM

Saw a post on another website that this was a fact. Is it? Inquiring minds want to know.

Edit: Found the source. A Chiefs tweet.

QB Matt Cassel has a 108.9 passer rating over his last four games - the best mark of any QB in the league over that span (min. 100 atts).

He was sacked 24 times in his first 6 games last year compared to 5 this year. His success this year will be directly related to the health of our offensive line.

So what you're saying is if a qb isn't under pressure he'll do better.

Whew.

That's a relief, lol.

Hey, its a possibility.

Hell, he made guys like Brady Quinn and Jimmy Clausen look like decent QBs. If he can do that with those guys, who's to say he can't do it with Cassel.

No I 'm saying last year our line from center to right tackle sucked worse than Cassel.

The O-Line is improved and providing better protection, but the primary reason he isn't taking sacks is because Weis has him getting teh ball out much quicker than he did last year.

He has been subject to taking a lot of sacks in the past, not only in KC, but in New England as well, because he held the ball for far too long.

Yes, that is absolutely correct. He has Drew Bledsoe syndrome. Sometime you just have to throw it away and go onto the next play.

I'm less sold on Cassel then when we signed him.

He doesn't improvise like a true elite QB. JMO.

And I think that's what makes a true outstanding QB stand out.

Oh I agree 100% but I think we can all agree the right side of our line this year isn't the liability that it was last year.

Lilja for Goff?? Weigman for Niswonger??? No comparison.

**BossChief** · 10-26-2010, 08:25 PM

Isnt the line for starts by a quarterback before you should truly judge him 36?

Cassel just started his 36th game FWIW.

tonyetony · 10-26-2010, 08:34 PM

What is Cassel's win loss record as an NFL starter now?

Isn't it like 19 - 11 because Croyle started game 1 last year.

10-5 in NE 08
4-11 in KC 09
4-2 in KC 10

18-18 If my math is working

Thanks. That's more like it. I'm trying to do too many things over here.

Marcellus · 10-26-2010, 08:46 PM

off at this thread.

At least we have some spirited conversation going on rather than 100% Cassel sucks.

That's improvement.

I would LIKE to see us throw down field more often, but hey, if they can make the short stuff work with our running game, I can't complain.

That WR leaped out of the sky to bail him out last week. I swear he jumped so high he could have dunked between his legs.
