I still don't like Cassell

Another lack luster performance by the 60 million dollar man. I know a bunch of you are going to respond in defense of him but ask yourself this. Has his performance over the past 2 seasons justified his salary? He will have made 40 million by the end of the season. I personally have not seen ANYTHING to justify this.

I know I'll get blasted for it, but if this running game doesn't start doing better, it could be a long road for the whole Chiefs offense. (yes, I know we're 7th in the league in rushing, but the fact that Arenas was used as a gimmick to get a TD says something)

Uhhhhh Trent played like an "elite" QB with the Chiefs 6 years ago......

Maybe he should have typed it like this :"IAmSofaKing" or something...

So far as post count, we may all be right!

Trent was good but not quite elite imo. I would only count two of his years in the elite category.

WHO CARES how much money Cassel makes???? It's not like he is costing us cap space and keeping us from getting or keeping quality players. How much Cassel gets paid is between Cassel's agent, Pioli and Hunt.

Like any other Chiefs fan, I wish we had someone of the caliber of Montana, Staubach, Elway or any of the other elite QBs from the past. BUT WE DON'T!!! What we have is Cassel!

If you think Cassel is the wrong QB for the Chiefs, then complain about Pioli, NOT Cassel

Meantime, with Cassel as QB we won the AFC West last year and in 2 days we'll be playing for a share of 1st place in the AFC West! And we're doing it with both Charles and Moeaki out for the year. Pretty impressive as far as I am concerned.

I'd be real interested to hear who the Cassel haters think we should pick up to replace Cassel......

Until I hear that then all these complaints are just WHINING!!!!

And

I am still firmly behind Cassel. I would add, however, that he has shown "elite" skills many times. But then there are other times he looks like he is going for the Brodie Croyle Award of Incompetence. I think it is his nervousness from his first season here and getting the shiite kicked out of him every snap. I want desperately for the elite Cassel to show up every game and I really think he can and will as our whole offense improves. But I won't discount, completely, those who are genuinely upset by the not-so-elite Cassel. I just think we all need to rally behind him and expect great things. There is something to the power of positive thinking.

After the first two games, I would've said Andrew Luck. That won't be happening now, so it'll probably be Cassel until he starts doing terrible or Stanzi is ready.

OK well there you go. In those 2 years having an "elite" qb wasn't the "answer" to winning a Super Bowl was it?

**ctchiefsfan** · 10-29-2011, 06:40 PM

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.
