It was an illusion, and that illusion can be recreated in 2012 with this cast.
The problem is that any good team can reveal the truth.

Not only this, but that illusion is more than enough for a majority of Chiefs fans (and apparently the front office) to be perfectly fine with Cassel for awhile afterward. I've seen people as recently as a month ago post things like "He was a Pro Bowler" and "We won the division with him" on the Chiefs' Facebook page when someone comments that we still need a QB.
I'll be entirely honest, I almost wanted us to not sign anyone and go into the season with a garbage OL so that when Cassel looked like crap, there would be more than enough evidence to ship him out. Now, it looks like he's here for at least one more season as the unquestioned starter...
I do like the Winston signing. But I can't get too excited considering the QB he'll be protecting.
