Interesting article. It seems that we are both unhappy with the play of Matt Cassell. Our only hope, now that the trade deadline has passed, is to bring in the quarterback from Alabama. I would have liked to see Jeff Garcia at the helm. He can scramble, he can throw, and he can read defenses. There are so many things that need fixing, while at the same time we have the potential talent to explode once things are fixed. And Kent, when are we going to write an article together??

We should have went for it on that after we didnt make it. Sure they probably would of scored but at least the last drive would have been ours instead of theirs.

Cassel isnt as bad as you think he is. This offense is built to not turn the ball over. In other words, runs and dump offs. If we actually had some receivers go downfield we would see a different Cassel. Our receivers cant even get separation and you expect something better than what we’re getting. I think Cassel is doing a damn good job for what he has to work with. One thing that pisses me off is from all the running we do, WE DONT USE PLAY ACTION. W.T.F.!! Our playcalling is terrible. I dont know why people just dont stack 8 in the box and let us have it. I dont get it. Im sick of all the hate on Cassel though. Hes done nothing wrong in this stupid offense were running. If you have the talent to score every drive, WHY NOT TRY. Mix it up a little Haley and Weiss, Jesus.

Cassel looked great today and the defense looked terrible. I knew when we didn’t get that 3rd and 2 that it was over, I’ve had the same feeling many times over the years with this defense. I’m gonna go ahead and believe it was an abberation. But Cassel showed he could play today, that first touchdown pass to Bowe was a thing of beauty. Lets lay off Cassel for a bit now shall we.

Last started in 2008, but was on a roster for part of 2009. If you want to go by starts, George hasn’t had one since 2001. There is absolutely no comparison between the two. Even if they were on the same timeline, there would still be no comparison. Passing ability aside, as field generals, George is one of the worst I’ve ever seen.

Okay, you named more than 5 or 6. Now, how do you propose we get one of those QBs? I really only like 5 or 6 of those and I wouldn’t agree that they’re all better than Cassel. Maybe we could get Kolb (not on your list)from Philly if they go with Vick next year. Or maybe Orton, if Denver wants to go to what’s his name next year. I don’t want the guys on the bottom of your list, and the guys at the top are going nowhere.

Garcia is in the UFL. He last started in the NFL in 2008.

Every team wants a HOF QB. My point is, they only come around every once in a while and we’ve already had our share.

Manning, Manning, Brees, Rivers, Favre, Schaub, Rodgers, Palmer, Flacco, Hasselbeck, McNabb, Romo, Brady, Vick, Cutler–those 15 you can’t argue with. Orton, Ryan, Sanchez, Garrard, Fitzpatrick, Young, Wallace–seven more that aren’t proven, but are having good seasons. That’s 22 guys I would take in a heartbeat over Cassel. That’s not to say that I like all of them–I don’t–but I’d take them over the backup my team is starting now. It’s not a matter of rooting for or against him. I want him to do well. I’m just not blinding myself to the fact that he can’t.

As for Garcia, the guy is solid as a rock and consistently posts 90+ passer ratings. He’s been to four Pro Bowls, he doesn’t throw a lot of picks, and more importantly, guys actually believe in him. Comparing Garcia to George, who has been out of football for six years (Garcia is still in, and is only a season removed from his last successful stint as an NFL starter) is ludicrous.

Yes, Bowe is more to blame than Cassel for this loss. Bowe has potential, however, and Cassel does not. It’s not his fault. I reached my maximum athletic potential way before he reached his, but neither of us deserve to have his paycheck.

LOL! You really do hate Matt Cassel, don’t you? There are only 5 or 6 “good” QBs in the league and they play on teams that aren’t going to give them up. Cassel is a below average QB, but he is the best we have. He has won 11 games in a season before, that’s more than most QBs in the league. I think his problem is more his receivers. He is getting the protection this year, but only because Weis has him getting rid of the ball quicker. He has fewer interceptions than most in the league. You’ve have finally offered a recommendation to replace him, but please, Jeff Garcia? They might as well bring back Jeff George. To me, Bowe is a much bigger let down than Cassel. I think it would be easier to replace Bowe. The fact is, there’s not going to be a QB change in KC this season, unless there’s an injury, so we might as well root for him, rather than cut him down every week. He didn’t lose that game last week, the team did.
