Personally, I think it’s a bit harsh to scrap a player’s career after two seasons failing to perform at a duff club. He only has one decent target in Dwayne Bowe now that Anthony Gonzalez has flown off to the falcons. How can Cassel be expected to lift this team without significant motivational input from the coach? This is an exceptionally young team and they need to find an identity amongst themselves before they will gain the ability to fell better opponents.
Young guys playing with heart and fuelled by raw emotion and a determination to prove their worth can be a tough force to beat. The Chiefs should adopt this approach and spend camp firing up the players’ self belief.
They lack big names – especially on defence. But if that unit can work out a way to slow down opposing offences and tighten up in the red-zone the spunky offence might find a few points through sheer grit.
I really hope that Cassels comes through this year. He was superlative for the Patriots when Brady went down in ’08, leading the team to an 11-5 record and only missing out on a spot in the playoffs due to unbelievable competition that year.
He is not a bad QB, but if he doesn’t fare well this year, maybe the Chiefs weren’t the team for him.
