And did you see today in yahoo sports there was an article "Cassel thrilled to be in KC".

Haley says of him, “He’s a good example of being the same guy every day, You’re going to get great enthusiasm, he’s going to be there standing at your hip, you’re probably going to have to tell him to be quiet five or six times because he’s excited. He’s just what he’s been. He’s had a fairly solid start.”

And Cassel says, "“We’ve got everybody we need to win in the league and now it’s about going out and executing, finishing games in the fourth quarter and doing what we can do,” he said. “This can be a very good team.”

CAN be doesn't necessarily mean WILL be for this year, but it's exciting that the possibility is there. And that Haley and Cassel have such enthusiasm and optimism (as well as skills, which are obviously necessary as well!).
