If Cassel indeed doesn't work out or lives up to the hype, I will declare Bill Belichik (a.k.a. Darth Hoody) the greatest football mind alive. Because of all these questionable moves done by McDaniels in Denver (dismantling the offense, running Culter out of town) and Pioli in KC (mortgaging their future on Cassel); which obviously were not done in NE.

Ok, I am exaggerating on this, but I just find it funny that these two guys are making all these somewhat questionable moves after being on a team that seems to always make sure/unquestionable moves.

Personally I don't believe in Cassel, but there's no way he can turn KC around. There's no receivers there and I think everyone will consider him a bust after next year. He's still young though and if you can get a quarterback to build around then it's not a bust if he eventually gets good. I don't think Cassel's a good QB, more a product of the system, but we will see week 6.

I agree they dont really have any WRs but they have the most important piece of the tandem, the QB. They can find good WRs but finding a good QB isnt easy. KC wont be great this year but they will fill in the pieces and next season will be a break out one for Cassel & KC.

Yep, good receivers are a dime a dozen in this ole league they call the NFL.

Dwayne Bowe?

Seriously, he's been in the league for 2 seasons and has posted 70 catches, 995 yards and 5 TD's and 86 catches, 1022 yards and 7 TD's with the carousel of mediocre quarterbacks they've been trotting out there, that's pretty damn impressive.

They may not have any other options, short of Jamaal Charles (and I'm basing that on his ability in open space, but I believe he can catch), to throw to, but Dwayne Bowe is a beast!

Bowe rules but they don't have much beyond him.

No more Tony Gonzalez so teams can double team him since there's nobody else. Bobby Engram is old and I don't know what he has left. I think Bowe was third in the NFL in drops last year anyways. I saw this article a little while ago too ...
