What he said was not only undeserving and infuriating, but so goddamn underwhelming from a fan's perspective.

I think he handled it pretty well.....I mean basically the interviewer was saying "Look at the AFC west, theres 3 good QBs---Rivers, Peyton, & Palmer.....where do you see yourself?"

Cassel's answer really isn't that shocking, it is to be expected he said he FEELS like he is right there with those guys......

All you have to do is read between the lines.....there is a huge gap between palmer and manning in his prime......I fully expected that answer......I expected him to say that he feels he can compete with those 3 guys. He DID mention the team, very nearly the first thing out of his mouth...so I dont know if you even listened to what he said....

The fact that so many people are so ****ing stupid they expect him to say anything different shows you how reeruned people are......Seriously listen to the interview again....it really isn't a shocker.

It's still funny and absurd to hear it and I would expect that from him as he "grades out perfectly". I'm not blaming Cassel saying anything he can say what he want's bfd however he is a tool a Pioli tool. This falls on Pioli the egg yoke is on him when Matt Cassel fails, but the reality of it is it's the Chiefs fans that suffer having to watch a ship sink in the harbour.

Absolutely 100%.......You can't blame Cassel for saying he feels like he can compete with these guys......none of them are in their prime......Palmer & Manning are one shaun smith oil check from retirement...Whats he going to say "yah Im ALMOST as good as Palmer 2012....and one day i might be "

Its dudes last chance probably, he has to say that shit...

And 100% where the blame will go on this too....not necessarily for pulling the trigger on cassel/vrabel as it was a decent try for just a scond rounder...but for sticking with it too long....should this season prove to be a failure.

BUT if this season proves to be a success then logically the credit will go to him as well, and he will look pretty smart.

I had the assumption at the time we got Cassel that he was a "quick fix" at the QB untill we get a few drafts in and start drafting QBs to replace him when the time comes. It's just dragging on now and Pioli is stuck on Cassel for having a 11&5 season with the pats and a 10-6 record with the Chiefs to make believe (fairy tail) that he has something with Cassel. Pioli made a colossal mistake at hireing Todd Haley & the embarassment that came from that with Tyler Palco. Pioli needs to recognize when it is time to move on and not let Clark Hunt make that decission for him like he did with making him fire Todd Haley.

If and when Cassel plays like shit the fans will let Pioli know our displessure and Clark Hunt will be forced to drop the ban hammer on him. That is the situation Pioli set himself up for.
