NFL Videos: Can the Chiefs win with Cassel?
Yep, another one.
I don't think we can win a superbowl, however with our talented roster we will continue to hide his weaknesses just enough to not replace him
What can I say that is his opinion and only time will tell if he is right or not. Is Matt an elite QB no, is the team good enough to win with him or in spite of him? Other than Manning, who would not even talk to us, who is out there better that we could get right now? Should we have given up all the draft picks it would have taken to move up to get RGIII?
I knew this Dukes guy was an idiot as soon as he said "unfortunately, they went after the wrong Peyton." We DID go after Manning.
He starts by criticizing Daboll's record as OC which has gotten better every year--from 32nd to 29th, with a terrible Browns team, to 22nd with a slightly better Dolphins team. Miami's offense continued to improve all last year, going 6-3 in their last 9 games and averaging 25 points per game. So clearly he doesn't know what he is talking about.
He goes on to say that "Cassel hasn't been the same since Charlie Weiss left," which is true, but the Chiefs had a running game when Weiss was here. Last year, they didn't. This year they will.
This exchange says it all.
Other Guy (don't know his name): "They're gonna have weapons."
Dukes: "They had weapons before."
OG: "Not last year."
Dukes: "No, no. When Charlie Weiss was there ..."
So he says Cassell was good when Weiss was there and he had weapons. But he won't be good with Daboll here now that he has weapons, even though Daboll did well with a far worse offense in Miami.
Dukes doesn't know what he is talking about. He probably hardly ever watches the Chiefs because they aren't usually televised on the east coast. He doesn't like Cassel so he ignores past history and the changes that have occurred and gives a biased assessment.
And they start out by showing the Chiefs "Notable Additions" and don't say one word about how those additions are going to affect the team. It's like the Graphics department had no idea what they were going to talk about.
Complete garbage.

We might win the division but I don't see him doing much after that. It was cool to see they were attempting to bring someone in that could get the job done but here we are again. I would've made an offer to Orton to be the starter. Oh well, another year with Cassel.
Well, Topeka, I don't. Guess I was thinking more of an offer that would beat Dallas, but by how Pioli's comments of Dallas making a "very, very, generous offer" to Orton, he must consider Orton overpaided. So, i will correct this for you and say "I wish scott pioli would've offered more than Dallas. I very much doubt he did. I stand corrected.

I know you didn't mean we should have promised him he would start. But I'm sure it was made clear that if he outperformed Cassel, he would have a chance to start.
I have no idea what we did offer him, but I'm still baffled by his choice to go to Dallas. I know Romo is injury prone, and makes a lot of bad decisions with the ball, but I still think Orton would've had a better chance to start here.
Maybe the allure of a bigger market like Dallas - FT. Worth, with a chance to play 6 games a year that would be televised in New York, Washington DC., and Philadelphia had something to do with it.

Now that the O line is improving yes we will win with Cassel.
