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."

Romeo NEVER got Cassel to play that well.

Haley FTW. Smooth move, *****.

To be fair, it was one of the best HALVES Cassel ever played for us.

But yes, McNabb saw the 2nd half of that game from the bench so I'm sure he thinks Cassel is a world beater.

And I'll bet McNabb hasn't watched a SINGLE SNAP since.

No, Cassel would be an awful backup... he'd be an awful #3 guy. He doesn't belong in the NFL. Hell, I wouldn't want him as my #3 guy if I had a favorite CFL team. I wouldn't want him as my #3 guy if I had an Arena football team. I wouldn't want him as my #3 guy for my UFL team (or whatever league it was that Palko played in and was cut).

Matt Cassel is not worthy of playing football... anywhere or in any situation (except starting for the Broncos, Raiders, Chargers, Colts or Patriots).

Why is it that the NFL Network hires the dumbest ex-players for analysts (Irvin, Faulk, Sanders, McNabb)?

Really? I've never been impressed. He's also horrible when he does the Rams' preseason games.

McNabb really is a complete moron.

It's amazing how we're supposed to agree with former NFL players and they're known as "experts". I can tell you right now I'd do a better job building a franchise than McNabb.
