I'm going to create some sob story about a kids' biggest wish is to meet Matt Cassel, and how it would be a great surprise at the kids' birthday party. I would pretent to be, say, Kreskin The Magician and would like Matt to come on up to the small impromptu stage to 'help' me with a trick. I would turn my top hat upside down to demonstrate there is nothing in the hat.

I would then ask Matt to stick his right hand in there to confirm, then BAM!.....Bear Trap in the hat.


Oh...and I need to borrow somebodys kid.

isn't it Pioli's job to upgrade?

Orton was an upgrade for lat least the upcoming season.

With the Manning and RGIII/Luck scenarios falling through, Orton was the best option for the Chiefs this offseason.

They should have re-signed Orton and shit-canned Cassel.

If Cassel fails next season and takes the Chiefs down with him, then Fat Scott should be fired.

Dayze 03-21-2012 08:18 AM

what are folks' prediction on the Chiefs record. and what would it take in your opinion, to get Scooter Polio fired?

I say they go 8-8.
if they go 5-11 or less, he'll be fired.

I think it was a designed whiff. Any competition would only be designed to boost Cassel's confidence. Orton would have actually challenged him to start. Quinn more than likely will not be able to.

The Quinn signing is a fine one. It's a project guy on a one year deal for little money and for a backup role. I just feel it was disingenuous for them to act like there was really going to be a competition.

The Chiefs would have been better served tanking the season last year like the Colts did.

True fans everywhere hate this comment although you are spot on.

I think we should have resigned orton and sign flynn, then try to trade casshole on draft day for PB&J sandwich (with the crust still on!) and moved the **** on.

9-7 or 10-6. We went 7-9 last year with Cassel and Palko starting. Yes we still have Cassel, but no Palko. But we also achieved this with a harder schedule minus Charles, Berry, and Moeaki. We also had Richardson at RT last year. Outside of the Cassel situation, every other one of those is better now. Barring a crap ton of injuries I don't see how we finish 8-8 or worse.

Yeah, all those impending free agents that knew they weren't coming back to the Colts wanted them to have the 1st pick in the draft. Painter sucked balls, so he'd lose his job and never get a chance again. But, but, but Garcon fumbled on purpose!!! The sacrifice of those men. ROFL

Great article. Hope Pioli spit his coffee all over himself when he read this.

Heard Kietzmann saying the Chiefs should trade for Blaine Gabbert (no, I'm serious). One emailer just suggested the same (/pulls trigger)



I for one, want NO part of Blazed Garbage.

They also could have signed Orton or Garrard, yet made no effort. They continued to put their Palko (Painter) out there every week while making a half hearted atempt at best to address the QB situation by bringing a 40 plus year old Collins out of retirement. Yup management was dedicated to winning when Peyton's future was still in doubt and Luck was waiting for the team that got the #1 pick. :thumb:

Manning is not a QBoTF so I don't find that upsetting at all. The upsetting bit is that Pioli didn't try harder for a QB last year when we had the opportunity and that there doesn't appear to be any QBoTFs beyond the first two QBs in the upcoming draft.

Seriously, who would be more valuable to this team right now- Justin Houston or Ryan Mallet? Hell, I would rather have Mallet than last year's 2nd round pick, Rodney Hudson.
