No one really wants to live up to the reality that not every team is going to have a hall of famer as their QB.....and that MC is the best QB on our roster, andthat we have had a chance to acquire realistically...
Much like the scared virgin gamer basement dwelling nerds these guys are in real life.....they would rather focus on being able to have sex with some fantasy woman they will NEVER get...rather than bone the slightly ugly and willing neighbor who is also into gaming.

I'm confused. Are you saying Chiefs fans should want to **** Matt Cassell?
I think it's pretty simple. Cassel = at best, average, and at worst, teh suck. Stanzi = no idea. He could suck, he could be Johnny Unitas reincarnated. But the Chiefs will never know if they don't try him. What's the worst that could happen? He sucks? Like the guy they've handed the job to already?
Besides, how a guy looks in training camp, with no enemy rushers trying to pound him into the turf, is far different. A guy can practice like Tarzan and play like Jane, or vice versa.
The Chiefs have a fairly difficult schedule, and an uphill road in the division between the always-pesky Chargers and the Denver Peytons. They don't have a lot of time or the leeway to give Cassell a lot of rope to hang himself. IMO, if he comes out of the gate with a kick-to-the-balls performance of 12-for-32 for 167 yards, 1 TD, and 3 INTs, I think the Chiefs shitcan him immediately (if they have any brains whatsoever). They know what they have in Quinn, so if I were them I'd jump right to Stanzi and see what he can do; they can always fall back to Quinn as a last result. The Chiefs have just enough talent that they don't necessarily need a great QB to lead them singlehandedly to victory; they just need a half-decent one who won't cost them games.
