Cassel not the best QB at camp?

Chiefs camp buzz: Haley not talking about Cassel’s play - Kansas City Star

Matt Cassel’s play has slipped since the early portion of training camp, and Tuesday’s practice wasn’t his best. He missed some throws, including one when he had Quinten Lawrence open deep. The ball was slightly underthrown and intercepted by Brandon Flowers.

Cassel’s struggles began during an intrasquad scrimmage two weeks ago when he committed three turnovers. He has had a problem with turnovers since and lost a fumble during last week’s preseason opener against Houston.

Asked whether Cassel has been the best quarterback in camp, coach Todd Haley deferred.

“I think I’ll hold out on answering that right now,” he said.

Kind of sickening in a way. I didn't expect to see any question that Cassel was the best QB on the team after giving him the monster contract. Hopefully things get better in the next few weeks.

Should have kept Thigpen... he more talent than Cassel.

I was at training camp Sunday, and I thought Matt Cassel was throwing well then. It's awfully hot too, was 110'...no doubt sweat in the eyes will be an issue, as I saw the majority of players, including Cassel wipe sweat often from their heads & eyes. I'm not making excuses, just sayin...if he had a couple bad days, the heat might have been a factor.

Yep, his 1 win as a starter is awe inspiring.

You know, bumping year old threads is a great way to let people know that you're a troll.

You ARE a troll right?

Heck, I didn't even pay attention to the date...thanks for pointing out this thread was bumped. :)

This thread is over 1 year old. By all accounts Matt Cassel has been extremely sharp so far(less than 1 week.) :)

I am closing the thread to avoid confusion.
