Chiefs Cassel Vs Sanchez - Page 4

Titty Meat · 08-14-2009, 06:49 PM

Also known as the Chiefsplanet Civil War. I made this thread not to talk smack but to compare how each player plays. Sanchez looked great tonight despite missing half of the Jets O-line.

I forgot the Rams but yes they'll have that convo too...so will the Seahawks.

That's just the nature of the draft either you made the right decision or you didn't. It becomes more glaring for the Lions and Chiefs fans because they choose a different QB.

Thanks mecca.

I got in from work after Sanchez had already finished his time in the game and hadn't seen that.

You can see him go quickly through his progressions, make a quick decision, and throw a perfectly placed pass.

Impressive.

It's a really nice play especially for a rookie QB, he looks off the safety even does a pump to hold him before throwing it down the field.

And he's damn near in his own endzone, where a lot of QBs start to wet themselves...

Sure, I'll bet they would have talked about it. I'll bet they talked about the QB's in the draft and weighed their options before the Cassel deal.

And we'll see if they were right or wrong, that's basically how this goes.

I'd much prefer they be right I don't want the Chiefs to suck for 5 more years.

Whether or not they had him in their sights as the backup plan, the fact is, he was available at 3, even if they hadn't traded for Cassel, and they still passed up Sanchez, if he turns out to be a top 5 QB, if Cassel fails, Chiefs fan will look at the failure to draft Sanchez as a failure by this front office.

Let's see what Cassel does tommorow like I said all he has to do this year is prove he's a leader.

If Sanchez ends up being the guy that's the best both Chiefs and Lions fans will talk about the blunder of 09.

Yet another link between the Chiefs and Lions.

Bottom line is this, as a Chiefs fan I want Cassel to do well. I want him to be better than Sanchez, why wouldn't I? If Cassel does well that most likely means the Chiefs are doing well. I really don't care how good or bad Sanchez is, he isn't on my team. I don't plan to go game by game this season judging the signing of Cassel based on Sanchez.

**DeezNutz** · 08-14-2009, 08:03 PM

For the sake of argument, it's always easier to pass on the n00b QB in the court of public perception, especially in KC. "Too risky." "Big cap hit." Etc., etc. In some ways, far safer to bring in the "experienced" player, which we all know is somewhat disingenuous when describing Cassel.

Pioli and co. took a huge risk. A different kind of risk, but huge nonetheless, so...we'll see.

Bottom line, I want Cassel to do well, but the fact is, you are burying your head in the sand, so to speak.

I hope there's a spot I can reserve there, too, if Sanchez lights it up.

This is starting to remind me of when Denise became a Raider fan after falling in love with Gannon. Now we get to hear about what the Jets do every week.
