For those saying someone like Kolb can't fit in anywhere else and be successful....

Check out this guy:

That's Matt Cassel. I remember when he was available from the Patriots some time bet and everyone said the SAME things about him as they are Kolb.

"He's a system QB, so it's easier for him." Etc.

Looked at his numbers this year? (On a good team that's in the playoffs mind you)

Rating: 93

Yards: 3,116

TD's: 27

INT's: 7

Looks like he's done pretty good for himself down in KC. It's always a gamble and it's something you have to do. KC was terrible, traded for Cassel, did some changes, and a couple years later are in the playoffs. What if we did that? Things may be a lot different right now.

Just something to think about....

He sucked ass his first year with the Chiefs.

16 td, 16 int, 69.9 rating, 14 fumbles, 3 lost. It wasn't until they completely revamped the system to be somewhat similar to the Patriots, that he was able to succeed again.

If we were to use the system the Eagles use, then I'm down for getting Kolb. I'd also be down to see what Clausen/Moore could do in that system also though.

I'm mainly showing the connection where everyone didn't want him either. His first season wasn't the best, true, but way better than any of our QB's had this year. You could say Weis came in and helped him but I think it's more than that. I'm just saying, sometimes you take a chance.

If we could trade our 1st down and get more picks, THEN trade that first, I'd be OK with it. Kolb has looked good when he has played, mostly.

And I wouldn't be against changing an offense to fit the QB, it makes sense. Maybe he'd do better in a different system though.

We shouldn't blow it off completely. Maybe we can wait and see what the league does, as in, offering picks (when/if CBA gets renewed). If it gets away from the first round I say we ****** him.

Are you calling this year mediocre for Cassel?

Mediocre would have been a compliment for his playoff performance.

Might be more accurate to call his overall career in KC mediocre. In 2009, he had as many picks as he did TDs (16 of both) and almost as many fumbles (14). This past season, he showed improvement in some categories, but the Chiefs feasted off a weak schedule in the regular season and were clearly overmatched in the playoffs.

The obvious difference between 2009 and 2010? Charlie Weis. What happens next year when Weis is gone again?

      Their use of the phrase questionable QB situation fits perfectly. He is stuck, for the moment at least, in a situation with Bryce that he can't really get out of. There have been improvements for Young, but he hasn't been a world changer. He had horrible coaching first year and was saddled with a broken down remnant of what had been an afterthought team anyway. There's one year left to keep him on the cheap with the idea that if he cranks out a great season, we've got first dibs on him for the next. If he tanks out, then off to free agency Young goes to either a QB whisperer-type situation or becomes a fairly battle tested back up QB. And we get something to add into our compensatory picks formulation. This is a make or break year for Young, but not for Morgan or Canales.

      If they lose the ECF in wimpy fashion, like anything less than a Game 7, its time to can Rod.

      Do you people really give no credence to the fact that Carolina’s went almost two weeks between games while Montreal played an intense seven game series that just ended Monday? That break was too much to be ready to go, and it showed.   The Canes pressed in the first, likely from overzealousness to prove the layoff wasn’t too much. once the Canes settled into their game without pressing, the game was much tighter. Every year, posts in the Panthers forum question how little the starters play in the preseason? Why is that? Because we all know not going at game speed against an opponent can lead to a slow start when the games turn real. Even with prior ECF disappointments, I’m going to hope last night was more akin to starters not playing in the preseason.
