Really hard not to like Matt Cassel.

Do I hope his game takes a complete 180 this year and he's actually really really good? And by really really good I mean not like his "Only play well against shit defenses" 2010 self. I mean like a kind of Cassel not even his supporters believed he could become. Do I hope he's that kind of QB? **** yes.

But I can guarantee you, the odds of him all of a sudden "getting it" like that having started 4 seasons at age 30 are remote. Super small. Minute. Tiny. How many QBs hold the clipboard for the first few years of their career, finally get an opportunity to start, then suck for 4 years, and then just out of nowhere become super ****ing great franchise-level? I'm trying to think, seriously. Rich Gannon is the closest, but he had a far better foundation and skills in place when he first started playing games in the regular season than Cassel. I'm digging back and coming up with names like Elvis Grbac and Jeff George (dude was pretty ****ing close to taking the Vikings to the Super Bowl). And that's not quite what we as Chiefs fans have in mind, I'm sure.
