More Cassel/Clausen/Weis Drama

He will be great if he gets rid of the ball sooner. He has great accuracy but slow decision-making. I agree with the dropped ball though. There is nothing a QB can do about that. I guess you can say he is progressing a little because the sacks did decrease from 2008 to 2009. Lets see if Weis can help him make quicker decisions along with a great running game. If so, then he will have an outstanding year.

C'mon you guys. I can just see it now, his arm begins the forward motion but there's minor contact, his arm continues forward but the ball remains in mid-air and tumbles aimlessly to the turf. Then scooped up by the Raiders and ran in for an easy TD.

Wake up. The guy has the smallest measured hands at the QB position in the entire draft. 9". My hands are bigger and I can't throw the ball for beans and rarely a spiral.

I hope and pray .... that there's no way. And if there is...there's gonna be trouble.

Please, stop this Clausen nonsense. When it comes to Clausen....I'd rather have a Pickle than a Jimmy.

COM'ON MAN!!!

This guy didn't even play college ball, and he only played the last two years as a starter in the NFL. I don't think you can find 5 guys in this league to average 3,000 passing yards, 18 TDs, and 12 Ints their first two years as a starter since High School in the NFL!! Think about that people! He is only going to keep getting better & you can see he has the great qualities in the locker room to be a leader for K.C.

2 years ago he had a 65% completion percentage in New England. If you count the 56 dropped passes last year in Kansas City with a new offense, & new teammates he would have completed 65% again!!! It is not his fault the WR's dropped over 50 passes! He is going to be great this year, and everyone will be saying they loved him all along! Watch!

I'm not a Cassel fan. I wish we wouldnt have signed him to a long term deal. The guy takes too long to make reads which turns into sacks (also see 2008 NE sacks with Matt Cassel 47 and 2009 Tom Brady was 16). He had all those sacks with Randy Moss and Wes Welker at receiver. Its true. I do have to admit that the sacks for Matt Cassel dropped a bit after we had some productive running from JC. 26 sacks with LJ and 17 with JC. I couldnt find an excuse for the sacks he had with NE. Thats just my opinion

I don't want an improving QB who is already past his prime. If wasting time is what you want to do, lets draft clausen and sit on the bench for a few years.

Cassel never has been, or will be a great QB. Not saying that Clausen would be any better, but we are just wasting time with Cassel.

Like most rookies, you get a tonne of natural talent but their skills are raw. With Cassel, he's old and doesnt have a lot of upside. I don't want to wait for him to develop into a decent QB. I want to win games this season.

If you listen to any of Cassel's interviews you would know that he is quite a modest guy. Not sure what you mean by "classic Cassel" as the only other action we saw him in was in NE where he did an amazing job. Last year he was basically thrown in the worst possible situation for a starting QB to be put in and managed to get better as the season went on. I fully expect him to improve even more this year, keeping in mind that it is only his 3rd year starting in the NFL.

Yeah Randy, Cassel is the man for about TEN......

seconds....

His head got so big from everyone beleiving he was a good QB that it exploded.

Unfortunetly the explosion was sub par at best. Classic Cassel.

Cassel is the man for about TEN.

I think Berry would be a great pick, but I am concerned that Pioli is just too smart for everyone, and will take a LT or NT that would still be around after pick 10. Tyson Jackson was right out of left field being projected around the 15 pick, instead we get him at 3. Speculating on what we are going to do with this pick is a complete crapshoot. It is however the ideal spot to trade out of (something Pioli loves to do), with either Berry or a QB being available.

Cassel is the man, at least for this year.

Enough already. We are not going after Clausen. Period.

I do not understand this line of thinking at all. Why draft a QB when we really have no idea what we have in Cassel? As I've made the case before, there's no reason he couldn't be the next Trent Green, or even better. Especially with all the needs we have, wasting a high draft pick on Clausen, or one to trade for Quinn (I assume it would take at least a 3rd) just doesn't make sense. Let's let Cassel have some time with some talent around him before we start looking for his replacement. And let's use those ever important high picks to fix our other holes.

Actually mocks are finally starting to show us taking Berry. Funny how i hear about "is 5 to high to take a safety?" all the time with the chiefs, but never heard it once when talking about tampa taking him.

If we were to draft Jimmy Claussen, I would no longer be a fan of the nfl. I won't be a fan of another team, and I can't be a fan of a team Jimmy Claussen plays for. COuldn't hate a player more than Claussen.

haha I have been saying for a while that Weis and Crennel are going to need their own plane to the games.

I agree. It would be like when Steve Spurrier was the Redskins coach and he brought in a bunch of washed up Florida garbage like Wuerfell, Green, etc. Good thing Weis isn't the GM. I'm pretty sure the GM makes the final call on the draft pick. Maybe Weis will challenge Pioli to a hot dog eating contest for the GM job, which Weis would definately dominate!
