The Declaration of Independence, MO is set in stone.
Soon we will be free men.
Updates below, with fabulous NEW statistics and blood flying everywhere.
Quote:
Gus Cassel has a career winning percentage of .158 against playoff teams (3-16).
He is 1-12 against playoff teams as a member of the KC Chiefs.
Gus Cassel's Record Against Playoff Teams:
2012 - 0-3
2011 - 0-2 (includes home loss to Tim Tebow)
2010 - 1-2
2009 - 0-5
2008 - 2-4
IMPORTANT FACT #1: Cassel has a losing record against playoff teams for one reason: he can't lead the offense to scores. Check out his PPG against playoff teams as a Chief:
2012: 12.0
2011: 6.5
2010: 19.3
2009: 13.0
A dismal average at just 13.2 PPG overall. But the 2010 average is completely skewed due to a 42-point outburst against the Seahawks. If you remove that game, Cassel's career average PPG against playoff teams as a Chief plummets to 10.8 PPG. LOL
This proves that regardless of the quality of the team around him, Cassel is a liability. The 2009 Chiefs blessed Cassel with a horrendous supporting cast, yet scored MORE points per game against playoff teams than the 2012 Chiefs! Inconceivable!
Against playoff teams, for his Chiefs career, Cassel averages 148.1 yards passing per game. He has 13 TD and 16 INT in these games (13 games in total). His quarterback rating in these games is a hilarious 67.1.
IMPORTANT FACT #2: With better quarterback play, the Chiefs might have won some of these games. This includes:
6. A 2012 game against the Baltimore Ravens, in which Cassel threw 2 INTs while the offense scored 6 points. The Chiefs lost 9-6.

For his career, when facing a top 10 defense (measured by yards or points allowed), Cassel is 5-11.
Gus Cassel's Record Against Top 10 Defenses, By Year:
2012: 0-3
2011: 0-1
2010: 1-1
2009: 3-3
2008: 1-3
Cassel's 185 yards per game in those 16 contests isn't bad (for Gus). His TD/INT ratio (11/16) is horrible. His team averages 16.1 offensive points per game.
Even worse: His Chiefs teams average 12.6 offensive points per game.

Editor's note:
In 2012, Cassel did not improve his record against winning teams, playoff teams or top 10 defenses. He did not improve his yards per attempt or deep completion percentage. He sucks, and cut this mother****er.
FIN
