It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The concept seemed wholly-assed when I saw the headline in the wee hours and passed on giving Witless the traffic.Yeah, Whitlock's trolling for readers with yet another half-assed article.
Moss has alot to do with cassel being successfull but lets not forget he wasnt the only good receiver in the mix alot of QB's can do a great job with having a solid offense in hand.
I'm not saying he's not got talent, but i just scratch my head with that contract KC gave him. How many one-year wonders have their been like Cassel?
Just having Moss in any offense makes that defense drop back in coverage not to mention the double coverage he draws, so thanks to him Cassell found Jab, Wes, Watson underneath...making him productive thus the big paycheck.
Besides, with KC's cap situation, they had money to spend, especially in the short term and they've put themselves in a low risk/high reward situation.
Like I said, I'm not saying Cassel isn't the real deal, I'm just saying you can't say yet. He had one good year surrounded by some of the best offensive talent in the NFL. He's going to a team that was pretty bad offensively.
He doesn't have to be the real deal to justify the contract, especially given what other QB's get before they do anything.
The 2008 Pats didn't really have much of a running game, plus Cassel put up that NFL season having not started since high school. I'd say it balances things out in terms of credit, for playing with lots of talent but also starting a full season after not playing since high school.
