Lets do a history thing here, back in the80's we had a QB named Bill Kenny, he threw for over 5,000 yrds and actually came in second to Dan Fouts in total passing yards for that year. With a QB that could toss for that many yards it was crazy that the Chiefs couldn't getin the playoffs. Now back to the future, Tyler did great , here are his 2008 stats,
--
Tyler Thigpen 420att 230 Comp| 2608yds| 54.8%
Here are Cassells Stats,
--
Matt Cassel 516 att 327 comp| 3693 yds| 63.4 %
Keep in mind that yes Matt may have had some big name stars on his Offense Tyler didn't have but DBowe isn't anything to laugh at and neither is Tony G.
My point is this, when Matt gets paid $14.6 million of KC money , do you really want to do that with him riding the bench even if Tyler were to beat Cassell out in a competitive controversial situation that could be very bad for the Chiefs? I know that is the absolute worst thing that could happen to us. Everyone will cry foul but bottom line is this , Cassell is our QB.
