    Default Cassel to Bucs

    Can't find a link, but apparently, a local station in Tampa is breaking the news.

    At least we're not giving up any picks for him.

Thig is a second teamer at best and the direction KC is going I expect Pioli to atleast entertain him with some type of raise in his contract to keep him as such.
    You kinda just made my point. Put Thig in Boston and his stats are dramatically different (better).
    Remember Cassel was a 2nd teamer until he was given the chance. Thigs chance was soured on a team with no defense, an inept HC, and a broken down OL and RB...

It's easy to blame it on the Defense but why not say Thigpen could have thrown a few less dropped or intercepted balls. We won't even do that the fact is Cassell is a winning QB in most peoples eyes and Thigpen isn't . Cassell was #2 to a 3 time Superbowl winning QB in Brady, Thigpen was a 3rd stringer behind Croyle who has never won a game and Huard who is now gone. I see no reason to debate this any further these are my closing statements, say what you will.
    You are trying to compare these 2 qbs based on stats, where I am comparing them based on the environment they were placed in. Thats the way I roll. At any rate we will have to disagree and hopefully we can agree that the Chiefs now have 2 excellent qbs to build on...

    Well, if you want some facts....

    Cassel took a team that had been 19-1 over their last twenty games, to 10-5.

    Thigpen took a team that had been 1-14 in their last 15 games to 1-9.

    So, basically, Cassel took a team that couldn't lose, and managed to lose some. While Thigpen took a team that couldn't win, and managed to do about the same. (A smig better.)

    Unlike baseball, where a guy hits home runs by his own accord, TDs in football are based on the blocking, pass catching and play-calling around you.

    So a QB is not nearly as responsible for his numbers as a batter is in baseball.

    If you want to look at the environment...how about the snow game he threw for 400 yards in?

    what about DOMINATING the AFC West, who he will face 6 times a year...

    I think its a big test this season, I like Thiggy, but hes just not accurate on the deep ball, whereas Cassel can throw it on a rope 60 yards to a guy running FULL SPEED not stopping for 3 seconds to wait for the ball.

    But check the schedule, Thigpen last season faced a lot of weak defenses, and only showed up in the first half, this season, Cassel or Thiggy will be facing probably the toughest schedule the chiefs have had in years.

    I think there was no press conference to keep the photo op's down...The schedule sets up either to fail unless KC decides to fix the right side of their line.

    I agree whole-heartedly about fixing the o-line.

    But I think it is a whole lot easier to shine on a team that made it to the Super Bowl at 18-0 than it is with a team that couldn't win if the other team stayed in the locker room.

Your safe here and we can just laugh about it but the facts are the facts and all credible analysts go by the numbers because that is the real deal. Nothing fake about it at all. As for comparing football to baseball, I haven't fallen asleep during one football game in my entire life as baseball makes me so tired I turn it off.(BORING)
    You must be kidding.

    Individual statistics in football don't mean alot. And for every "credible" analyst that you find who disagrees with that, there are four of them who will agree.

    And I am unimpressed with your guess that someone else could make me look silly.

    Hell. I can do that, easy.

    But, if stats mean so much, then tell me which QB was the real Brett Favre...

    56%, 3,885 Yards, 18 TDs, 18 Ints, 72.7 QB Rating

    or...

    64.1%, 4,088 Yards, 30 TDs, 17 Ints, 92.4 QB Rating

    ?

    There really is no "Credible" analyst who won't admit that QBs depend on the rest of their team to help accumulate wins and individual statistics.

    Not one.

    Not that it matters.
