Still not impressed by Cassel

**figcrostic** · 11-22-2009, 10:31 PM

He made a couple great throws, but he made a bunch of really really bad throws. The guy needs to be more consistent, be more accurate, and throw the damn ball. Today he was sacked 5 times!!! Out of 5 maybe 1 time wasn't his fault the rest of the time it's like "Cassel throw the

damn ball!" He did not win that game for us not even close, Jamaal Charles, Chris Chambers, Studebaker, and Hali stood out, Cassel did not he looked like crap the first half, then he came alive in the fourth quarter , but he almost cost us the game with the fumble, if he wouldn't have fumbled the ball we would have not had to go to overtime and we would have ended it in the 4th. The sad thing is I was really for Cassel, I thought we got a future pro-bowler and all we got is a poor mans Damon Huard, a QB with a below average arm but doesn't throw a lot of interceptions but at least Huard was able to get rid of the ball quicker this is getting ridiculous. You gotta take what you got, and some times you gotta throw it away Cassel. All in all I am impressed by our win GO CHIEFS!! but please pick up a qb in the draft that can give Cassel some competition, thanks.

I'm secretly rooting for Favre. But I like old dudes still doing it! (Mark Martin fan).

Nope. I'm saying every good QB would perform poorly here. We have subpar WR's who drop perfectly thrown balls, no running game and one of the worst O lines in the NFL. When you are a QB who is constantly running for your life on almost every down, it's awfully hard to do anything at all.

I DO think we have a running game with JC. I DO think we have an "above par" WR in Chambers.
1 out of 3 is "subpar" imo.

With what Cassel has to work with in terms of an inept Head coach, and probably the worst OL in the league, he's actually playing better than I expected him to

Im with you man, I don't know why everyone hates him he is a very gifted individual, who still in his 40's can out play about anyone.

I think our WR's are at least average if not better, who are you comparing them to? Because Bowe, Chambers,Wade, and Bradley are all pretty decent. Also Cassel is hardly running for his life he just sits there like a statue, he has poor awareness, that's why Thigpen didn't get sacked as much with the same line, and No I AM NOT SAYING THIGPEN IS BETTER.I am honestly starting to believe what all the nay sayers said about Cassel, that he is a system QB. He played good with a good team, he plays bad with a bad team. If you have a brillian Coach like Bellichick and a rediculous WR core like Moss and Welker you could take a dud at QB and make them a stud.

That is what I'm saying. How can you expect Cassel to play at the same level as he did in NE without the weapons? Is he a top flight Qb like a Manning or favre? I don't know. It's too early to say. Do I think he could be a franchise QB if given the proper tools? Yes.

You won't find a bigger Jamaal Charles fan than me. That being said, he would be even more explosive if he had a decent line. The guy is a stud and I have been in the minority here when everyone else was saying he wasn't an every down back or starting RB material.

Our WR's are average. Sorry, but even Bowe is having an average season, which was made worse by his suspension. Chambers is very good, but his years are numbered due to his age. Bowe is ranked 40th in receptions and 41st in yards. Chambers was a short term, good solution.
