Chiefs This far in, would you say Cassel was the only option for the Chiefs? - Page 2

RedThat · 11-24-2009, 01:27 PM

I think so.

Really what could they have done to upgrade the QB position? Not much. They had no shot at Stafford, or, Matt Ryan from the previous year.

They were in range to draft Sanchez, but Id be more content with Cassel to this point since Sanchez is playing terrible.

What else could they have done? stick with Croyle or Thigpen? I was content when Thigpen was playing well, and thought we had some sort of chemistry, connection with Gailey's spread offense and Thigpen. But that all fell apart when the new regime took over.

I can't think of anything else? they could have traded up and try to get either Stafford or Ryan, but we know that would have been too costly. I guess he was the Chiefs best bet? Best thing is to just sit back, have some patience and wait for him to develop over time.

Croyle may have more talent....but he's proven that he can't play an entire season. Do you honestly think that Croyle could take the beating that Cassel has so far?

DaKernal · 11-24-2009, 01:41 PM

I wanted to see Croyle get a shot as well, but he's proven he can't stay on the field so you cant commit to him.

IMO, even if there were better options out there, Pioli still would have made the trade for Cassel. Thats 'his' guy.

I would've have liked seeing Tyler Thigpen get a legitimate shot at the starting quarterback position. By far, I think he's the better option over Cassel. Why? Our offensive line is always letting guys through at the quarterback and a more mobile QB could help prevent sacks and make plays. Furthermore, photosynthesis is a process that converts carbon dioxide into organic compounds, especially sugars, using the energy from sunlight.[1] Photosynthesis occurs in plants, algae, and many species of Bacteria, but not in Archaea. Photosynthetic organisms are called photoautotrophs, since it allows them to create their own food. In plants, algae and cyanobacteria photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen as a waste product. Photosynthesis is vital for life on Earth. As well as maintaining the normal level of oxygen in the atmosphere, nearly all life either depends on it directly as a source of energy, or indirectly as the ultimate source of the energy in their food[2] (the exceptions are chemoautotrophs that live in rocks or around deep sea hydrothermal vents). The amount of energy trapped by photosynthesis is immense, approximately 100 terawatts:[3] which is about six times larger than the power consumption of human civilization.[4] As well as energy, photosynthesis is also the source of the carbon in all the organic compounds within organisms' bodies. In all, photosynthetic organisms convert around 100,000,000,000 tonnes of carbon into biomass per year.[5]

Although photosynthesis can happen in different ways in different species, some features are always the same. For example, the process always begins when energy from light is absorbed by proteins called photosynthetic reaction centers that contain chlorophylls. In plants, these proteins are held inside organelles called chloroplasts, while in bacteria they are embedded in the plasma membrane. Some of the light energy gathered by chlorophylls is stored in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The rest of the energy is used to remove electrons from a substance such as water. These electrons are then used in the reactions that turn carbon dioxide into organic compounds. In plants, algae and cyanobacteria this is done by a sequence of reactions called the Calvin cycle, but different sets of reactions are found in some bacteria, such as the reverse Krebs cycle in Chlorobium. Many photosynthetic organisms have adaptations that concentrate or store carbon dioxide. This helps reduce a wasteful process called photorespiration that can consume part of the sugar produced during photosynthesis.

And, Sanchez has a better defense, OL, running game around him.

He did show the ability to take a beating in pre-season, and also against the Ravens. Maybe his body is maturing, or he is learning how to take a hit.

But, who knows if anyone else would have endured the beating Cassel has taken. It has been bad, no question.

And Cassel is a proven QB, Sanchez is a 1st round bust /obsessed CP members.

2nd best rushing O
9th best scoring D
5th best yardage D

Sanchez has been awful to get that team to 4-6...heck Stafford is 2-6 with that dreadful Lions defense

Mr. Laz · 11-24-2009, 01:58 PM

all QB options pretty much ended as soon as they gave him the big contract.

why are we even still talking about it?
