I've nothing against us seeking an "elite" QB through the draft. I think we SHOULD!!!!
But complaining about Cassel is POINTLESS. He is what we have unless and until we draft one or can get one the way we did Montana.

I agree. Teams are ALWAYS and SHOULD seek an "elite" qb. But it's the answer to a Super Bowl. It's just 1 piece of the puzzle. But to say Cassel sucks or is horrible is complete nonsense. If the Chiefs continue to run their offense the way they have been the last 3 1/2 games, Cassel can be a top 5 QB this season and a top 10 for sure. Just like last year.
After watching the third Stanford game this season all I can say is I believe Luck will be a bust in the NFL. He is the most over-hyped QB in college football since Tim Tebow. He is the beneficiary of VERY friendly officiating and receivers who catch junk ball after junk ball. The wonder of Stanford is not the QB, it is the receivers. I can't wait until he plays a secondary like LSU or Oklahoma. He will have 10 interception in one game. The guy has some mobility but, as a quarterback, is a loose cannon with receivers who work miracles.
I don't think he ix as good as he is being made out to be but i don't think he will be a bust. I watched him tonight for the first time and I wasn't too impressed with him either ... until about the middle of the 3rd quartered when he engineered 3 straight scoring drives for 2 TDs and a FG. During that stretch I saw a QB with the knowledge of Payton Manning, the pinpoint quick passing of an Aaron Rodgers, the mobility of a Michael Vick and the size/strength of Big Ben or Cam Newton.
On the other hand, he does have some excellent receivers, a balanced run/pass attack and USC was by far the best team they played this year. He benefitted from a couple of questionable pass interference and unnecessary roughness penalties but, looking at the replays, I thought they were all "technically" good calls.
He calls his own plays which is almost unheard of at the college level, and I thought he did a good job of mixing it up.
I still think he is overhyped, but very good. On the other hand, I thought the same thing about Cam Newton and aside ftom being prone to interceptions,he's performed much better than I thought he would.
The bad news for Luck is that whoever gets him will have a bad offense to put around him and probably a new coach and offensive coordinator. Unless the Colts get him he will be expected to start his rookie year and it may be tough going for him for a couple of years.
I am sofa king.
Don't care then don't watch.The scariiest halloween I've had in years.GO CHIEFS:efpge:
I'll admit it tonight. Cassel wasn't just "okay", he was good tonight, despite the 2 INTs.
