Can't say I watch enough of their games to see if it's warranted.
I have never been a Cassel fan, and still dont belive he is a bona fide NFL starter. However, that being said, at this point it is hard to be critical of him.
He has made the most of the opportunity that was handed to him when Brady got hurt and then with the big contract in KC.
I still see him as an NFL backup, at the best.... He just is not fluid....seems hesitant, still. But, hes got the big bucks stashed away, so what does he care what anyone in KC thinks of him.

Somehow he managed to pin up 31 points and 457 yards of offense on Patrick Willis no less.
I mean, that was against Patrick Willis.
It's not. The Chiefs have a terrible offensive line, and Dwayne Bowe is the closest thing that they have to a receiving threat. Cassel isn't good enough to carry an offense by himself, but looking good in that offense would be a tall order for any QB. He's already shown that he can pull his weight when there's talent around him, which is more than you can say for a lot of NFL starters.
The offensive line is not terrible. It's actually a good run blocking line, and the pass protection has been good this year and the end of last year. Cassel doesn't help things with his poor pocket awareness either, he's one of those QBs that just takes sacks. The bigger problem is that the Chiefs wideouts aren't great at getting separation and Cassel isn't an accurate passer.
