Chiefs Cassel Vs Sanchez - Page 5

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.

Whoaa...she went from being a Chief fan to being a Raider fan?

I hope they both do well that would probably be the best scenario for me personally...I'm not going to wish ill upon Sanchez.

No.

The difference is that I, in time, will only be interested in how Sanchez does compared to Cassel.

I won't be rooting for the Jets.

I won't be going to sports bars just so I can see him play.

I won't be lamenting, week in and week out, that he wasn't drafted by the Chiefs.

In 10 years if Cassel isn't the man, and Sanchez is, I'll rant about it a couple of times, but that will be the extent of it.

How do you mean?

And anyway even if someone who is a Chiefs fan hopes Sanchez does well, who cares about that?

Some of my favorite players in the league don't play for the Chiefs.

He's basically saying acting like Sanchez isn't relevant to the situation is burying your head in the sand.

I'm sure you can figure it out.

From a perception point of view, Cassel was the bigger risk for Pioli. Nobody would question him if he had gone with a blue chip rookie. If the rookie fails, that's what some of them do. Bad break, better luck next time.

But bypassing the rookie in favor of Cassel makes a statement. You are shunning all the superstar potential that comes with a blue-chip rookie and saying that this guy that came out of relative obscurity and had one decent -- not outstanding -- season has much better potential.

I hope it pays off, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous about looking back on this in 5 years with regret.

The answer to it may make or break the Chiefs.

Different situations- Cassel has one receiver that should be starting in the NFL and he just got demoted to third string. The right side of his line, from center out, will probably be avg to shit. You can't make a fair comparison.

It's about more than 1 year....no one should be making judgments after 1 season.

Also in case you haven't noticed the Jets have ass WR's also.

I agree that it's the bigger risk, but not the perception part.

Depends whom you're talking about. You're speaking as an educated football fan who understands that this was a HUGE decision for Pioli to pass on the n00b. The average fan, IMO, would always say drafting a rookie would be far riskier.

Agreed, but you know the Sanchez supporters will be saying "I told you so" if Sanchez has more success than Cassel this year.

I guess I really don't consider Sanchez a "what could have been" guy. Maybe, if in five years Sanchez is going to his third pro bowl, and Cassel is no longer even the starter for the Chiefs I might have that momentary thought of, Ooo, that would have been nice. But not now and not even after this season.
