Can Cassel be trusted?

Matt Cassel will get to throw it often with Kansas City Chiefs, but will he approach 2008 numbers? - ESPN

Well, obviously, I think it remains to be seen one way or the other.

That's what I like most about you Chiefster, you are so decisive!!

Personally, I expect his numbers this year to look inline with what Thiggy put up last year. Maybe a few more sacks and not as many rushing yards.

Something to the tune of

Comp: 260
Att: 520
Yards: 2800
TDs 22
Int 18
Sacks 32

It comes from listening to politicians.

Why not? I don't think he will put up alot, if any 400 yard games, nor will he have the big stats like he did last year.

People say we don't have the tools, and its BS. We have Bowe, we have Toomer, we have Engram.

And to go along with it, we have Haley polishing them off to make them even better.

Only a 50% completion percentage? Thats a pretty dim outlook. I would hope we would be closer to 65-70%, at least we need to be if we want to be successful.

Keep in mind he's writing this for fantasy football. I wouldn't trust Cassel with my fantasy team this year either, at least not yet.

Dude, Cassell only had 63% completion percentage with the Patriots, and we are still not the Patriots.

We'll see in a few days.

I paid for a membership to a site that takes the averages of projections from all the different fantasy sites, and this is the line they came up with:

297 / 508 (58%), 3360 Passing Yards
19.2 TDs, 14.8 INTs

59 Carries, 208 Rushing Yards, 1.8 TDs

QB Rating of 78.8.
