I would not change a thing about Cassel's time here. His ungodly, outrageously inept attempt to pose as a starting QB exposed Scott Pioli as the complete and utter fraud he always was. Pioli pinned his entire career to Cassel and it sunk him like a tidal wave engulfing a row boat, which is exactly what he deserved. If Cassel had been even remotely competent, who knows how long Pioli could have continued to pillage this organization.
So in a way, I thank him for his role. Without him and Pioli completely tanking this franchise to the point of fan base revolt, we'd probably still be wallowing in mediocrity.
Enjoy your money, Matt. You earned every penny in a completely roundabout way.
I can't blame him for something he was incapable of doing. The people that signed him are the ones to blame. I was always disappointed that the Chiefs spent the better part of four decades simply giving up picks and money for players other teams didn't want.
He was a system QB and the Chiefs system at that time was not good for him. [Reply]
I thought we had a chance with him, but the more I saw from him, the more it was apparent he wasn’t a franchise QB. I’m glad this era is done in Chiefs history. He sucks. Lol. [Reply]
