Chiefs Would an O-line make us competitive even with Cassel?

Silock · 11-13-2011, 02:52 PM

So, we're not getting luck, and probably won't draft a QB because we won't finish high enough to get a good one.

Can we be competitive if we get an O-line that can block worth a shit? If Cassel gets time, he can throw the ball better than he does now. Obviously, he's no Aaron Rogers or anything. But with a real OL, would he be slightly better than a Trent Dilfer?

It would make us competitive, but we'd never win anything, because even when he has time to throw, Cassel shits the bed.

**petegz28** · 11-13-2011, 02:54 PM

We would be better...the game wouldn't be on him so much. When he has time he is not THAT bad.

But right now this OL would have Rodgers sucking ass

With a good Oline? I doubt it. Because we have ****ing Muir as our OC.

Cassel was lucky last year because he had JC who kept defenses on their toes.

Would our O-line look better without Cassel? The Defense doesn't have to respect him as a threat. Hell, send the farm on every play. He's not going to make you pay for it.

FloridaMan88 · 11-13-2011, 02:55 PM

Doubtful.

Cassel has zero pocket awareness, zero accuracy, zero ability to consistently throw the ball downfield, zero game management ability. He is closing in on 30 years old, three full years in this offense with no hope of any further development/improvement.

The Chiefs could bring back the early 2000's offensive line with Roaf and Shields and it probably wouldn't matter.

Cassel was outplayed by Tebow today... enough said.

**BossChief** · 11-13-2011, 02:55 PM

There have been plenty of games when the protection was stellar and he still looked like shit.

Time to make a change.

Bump · 11-13-2011, 02:56 PM

no

notice how good QBs always seem to have a good o-line? I think it comes down to the QB.

**BigMeatballDave** · 11-13-2011, 02:56 PM

The QB is the problem. Period. This line is good enough to win with. Cassel just flat out sucks. I don't care if you have 5 Willie Roafs. Matt sucks hard.

**cdcox** · 11-13-2011, 02:56 PM

Worst thread ever.

**DeezNutz** · 11-13-2011, 02:57 PM

I think so. /the 90s...with a better QB.

Deberg_1990 · 11-13-2011, 02:57 PM

NO because our defense still gives up critical first downs and critical plays in critical times.

Learn about this sport, then post.

This thread is infuriating. I typed out and deleted three jokes because they were too offensive to post. Damn you, Silock, for bringing me into a disturbing headspace.
