Former Philadelphia quarterback Donovan McNabb, now an analyst for NFL Network, believes Matt Cassel can fit in former Eagles coach Andy Reid’s system with the Chiefs.

And, said McNabb, Cassel could be the right one to help bring along a young passer in a season in which the draft is lacking in elite quarterbacks worthy of the first pick in the draft.

"It's kind of hard to judge,” McNabb said of Cassel on NFL Network’s Total Access. “In the last couple of years, he's had a lot of injuries which have put him off the field and the team hasn't been that good. If you look back at his Pro Bowl year, he was able to spread the ball around, get Dwayne Bowe the ball and he also had an attack in the run game that really helped him out in so many ways.

“But if you go back to his injuries, he has rib injuries, his throwing hand, two concussions in the last couple of years. His record since 2009 hasn't been that great...One thing you look at Matt Cassel, is this an opportunity to utilize his experience to bring up a young quarterback?

“In this draft, there aren't any quarterbacks that are worthy of going as early as that No. 1 pick. So if you decide to go and wait for the second or third round, you can utilize Matt Cassel to be your guy to warm things up to give that young guy an opportunity to get ready."

Don't get your hopes up. Oh and trust me I want Cassel to GTFO too.

If we draft Geno or any other QB with the #1 pick, no way Cassel will start over them.

I believe the date at which they can "spread" his cap hit is June 1st. So it's entirely possible he makes it all the way to summer...

He's technically under contract for 2 more years so there's no real significance to the start of free agency or anything like that, though.

So any time then, eh? (Looks at watch.)

Honest to god, I would rather start Tyler Thigpen than Matt Cassel.

Without question.

McNabb might have a valid point about Cassel helping to tutor a young QB who isn't quite ready yet. That's how it works in the real world. We find some bonehead that can't do shit and let him teach.

Hey McNabb....
