McNabb thinks Cassel can fit in Reid's system

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."

Those moments you speak of, dumbass, all came just as the players were beginning to gel as a unit.

We got glimpses of the potential of that unit.

And each time they gave us those moments, an injury would occur. and the continuity needed to continue to develop that chemistry was disrupted.

What happens if the o-line hits this magical level that buzztin is seeking?

Is Charles gonna average 7 YPC instead of 6?

you have no sense of context (and maybe no sense at all). 10 games idiot. and (for those of you who have the ability to focus more than a millisecond), it's not so much that he is a penalty machine, it is that he sometimes commits those costly penalties at crucial point during a game.

He only had to deal with the cadence of 2 different SHITTY QBs, a new offensive coordiantor every 8 games, and one of the worst head coaches in the history of football.

Why don't you go ahead and go full Black Bob and tell us all how Bowe is worthless because he drops too many balls at key times.

It's all Branden Albert's fault that we lost 14 games!!!

That is not all that laughable.

Combine a top 5 O-Line with a QB that defenses have to respect, and the notion isn't all that ridiculous.

Does he? A quick check of box scores hurls you into the ****ing sun, nimrod.

Albert had a false start against the Saints in the third quarter on a second down. Hardly a crucial point in the game.

He also had a false start against the Saints on a first down in the fourth quarter. with 10 minutes left. Again, hardly crucial. We scored on that drive.

Next penalty is against the Ravens at the start of the second quarter on a third down. We still got the first down. I'll admit that's a slightly crucial penalty.

Then there's one against the Steelers at the start of the third quarter on a first down. Hardly crucial.

Last penalty is on a second down at the start of the 2nd quarter against the Browns. Nope.

So to recap: ONE PENALTY IN THE FOURTH QUARTER. ONLY ONE ON THIRD DOWN.

You're making shit up.

In his defense, with Cassel and Quinn at the helm, every penalty feels critical.

True.

5 yards is a near-insurmountable obstacle.

and how many games did the Chiefs win during the 4th quarter over Albert's career? Here's a hint you ****ing imbecile -- zero.

you and your goddamn stats need to learn more about the game of football. The Chiefs can't get anything going. not in the first qrtr, not in the 2nd, and I'll be goddamned not in crunch time. Lou Zares until further notice. and not from your retarted ass.
