I also know that having an average QB is something that about a third of NFL teams have to go through. By definition. We got Cassel for a 2nd rounder. We’ve gotten a good return on our investment. It doesn’t mean we shouldn’t upgrade if given the chance, but it doesn’t mean that he’s the cause of this team’s problems either.
What, exactly, are you disagreeing with here?
Well, im saying im not content with an average qb. And, as much as we want playoff games, I want a Superbowl. I’m saying why grind it out with Cassel? You admit he is an average qb. I totally agree. Its has sounded like you’re content with that. I’m not. But now you say if we have a chance to upgrade, we should do that. Alittle confused now but i will say I agree with your last reply 100%. We are officially completely on the same page with your last post.

Man, my life is getting ready to take an ugly turn soon….guess thats what happens to the worst kind of people:-/
My list of qbs…brees, manning, etc? Meaning, in theory, you can grind it out with your average qbs all you want. I’m going to keep your list saved and we will see in week 16, what qbs lead thier respectuve teams to just the playoffs this year.jmlamerson;238237 wrote:Guys like Cassel, Orton, Campbell, Fitzpatrick, Kolb, Grossman, Sanchez, McCoy, Romo, and Smith are current average QBs who have found a starting niche in the NFL. They will not be benched or cut.And people who complain about the size of Cassel’s contract are the worst kinds of people. I don’t care how much money he makes. No one short of Clark Hunt should care how much money Cassel makes. How much money Cassel makes has absolutely no bearing on how the team does. You should, as a fan, only care how the team does.
Ouch, we are the worst kind of people, OPLookn. That’s pretty harsh, i would say. Hopefully behind serial killers and pedophiles;-)
Well, ill put my list of qbs up against yours anydayjmlamerson;238221 wrote:Cassel is a good-to-great leader with average physical talent. Average players don’t get cut. No team has good players at every position. Average QBs like Brad Johnson (who I think Cassel is the closest to in terms of talent) and Trent Dilfer won super bowls.Yeah, Dilfer won with an amazing defense that year, right? But there are also alot of Rodgers/Manning/Brady/Elway/Favre/Brees types that get there alot more often than the 2 enigmas that you referenced. I’ll play the percentages on this one.
Everyone always gets uptight and pissed off when you quote his salary. I quote it because they paid him elite money. He signed the contract saying im worth elite money….well, because i think im elite. When you sign that massive contract, you are in the crosshairs all the time. Its justified. You better produce only big numbers or else. He knows this. Thats the price you pay for getting paid like the best. The microscope is used at much higher magnification.
And average qbs get benched or cut.jmlamerson;238215 wrote:People who see these things in blacks and whites are impossible to take seriously. Cassel has good games and bad ones. He’s a decent QB who is smart and efficient enought to win games with the proper support, but he does not have the athleticism or accuracy to win games only on his arm. He isn’t our savior, but neither is he our devil.What’s wrong with you people that he either gets blind support or blind hatred? There are average players in the NFL, you know. And there’s no shame in being an average player in the NFL.
I think thats the thing….he is not terrible and he is not great. That says “decent”. I got reamed for using that word. Same danged thing. No shame for being average? Average players get cut. Plus, he is your leader. Who wants an average leader? A savior sounds good to me;-D

Just because someone thinks something negative about someone or something on the team, does not make them a bandwagoner.On the other hand, there are also many homers on this board, those that are ignorant to the fact that the team is nowhere as good as you think they are, and that every player is awesome.
Whether you can be negative about your team or not make no difference, in the end we are all Chiefs’ fans.
My vote for post of the week….lol
