Oil Can Boyd Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 And we're offKC gets CasselI just saw that. Cassel and Vrabel for a 2nd round pick? Wow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmacomber68w Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I just saw that. Cassel and Vrabel for a 2nd round pick? Wow. Very surprised, I was expecting at the very least a 2nd rounder and a 4th - 7th rounder. The NE upside is all the extra $ the pats now have. Plus that 2nd rounder is the 34th in the draft, sorta like a Round 1a lol. Still, steal for the chiefs, solid lb who can give you 2 more years as a starter, and a potential top 10 QB to lead the team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 cassell is not a potential top 10 qb. He was terrible doing anything but passing from the shotgun, and he did that with welker and moss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not that Detroit should have held on to him, but why does Dallas want a third-rate chucker? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uncool2pillow Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Kitna goes to Dallas!? Not that Detroit should have held on to him, but why does Dallas want a third-rate chucker?Ha, just told my wife. She's not happy. We'll see how Rosenfels does for the Queens. I have a feeling he'll beat out Jackson for the starting position. We'll need to draft a QB. I read that T.J. Houshmandzadeh wants to be a Viking. Not sure we can afford him. A decent QB w/ Berrian and Housmandzadeh as targets might give Peterson some more space to work with, and if our defense stays solid, who knows?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmacomber68w Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 cassell is not a potential top 10 qb. He was terrible doing anything but passing from the shotgun, and he did that with welker and moss. I think its fair to say a 26yo who was 10th in passer rating and TDs in his first year has the potential to be a top 10 QB. This isn't a golden era of QBs. Change top 10 to top 15 if you want, in the end he will likely be an average to good QB, but if he ends up over performing I can't see how that wouldnt at least place him 9th or 10th in the league.

dondoboy Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Not to make this all about the Lions but they can't even get the off-season right. DETROIT TALK: Albert Haynesworth foresaw Jim Schwartz becoming the Lions' next coach. When the Titans faced the Lions on Thanksgiving Day last year -- with Haynesworth at defensive tackle, Schwartz as defensive coordinator -- the Titans were 10-1, the Lions 0-11. The Titans won, 47-10. "I was looking at Schwartz like, 'Man, you're probably going to be the head coach over there,' " Haynesworth said Friday at a news conference after the Redskins signed him to a huge free-agent contract. "I was like, 'I love you, but I don't know about Detroit.' " Still, Haynesworth said he thinks so much of Schwartz, he would have considered coming to Detroit had the Lions bid aggressively. "I don't think we even talked to Detroit much," Haynesworth said. "I love Schwartz, and if he would have asked me to come, I would have had to take a look. But here, honestly, is the best fit for me, because I have a lot of players around me." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H-Bomb Henry Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 This NE Chiefs trade looks a bit fishy. Pioli must have threatened to come out with more dirt on Bellichick. My guess is Brady's other knee is blown out this season. Karma sucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Is Corey Smith really lost at sea, or do you all think he just can't stand the thought of playing another season with the Lions? Yes, I realize how tasteless it is to ask that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Smith Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Very surprised, I was expecting at the very least a 2nd rounder and a 4th - 7th rounder. The NE upside is all the extra $ the pats now have.

Still, steal for the chiefs, solid lb who can give you 2 more years as a starter, and a potential top 10 QB to lead the team. Regardless of what you think of Cassel he is way better than what the chiefs have and he tore up the AFC west this year...of course that woudl include the Chiefs too. This NE Chiefs trade looks a bit fishy. Pioli must have threatened to come out with more dirt on Bellichick. My guess is Brady's other knee is blown out this season. Karma sucks. I had heard that the Bronco's offered a better deal, but the Pats went with the Chiefs because of the bond between coaches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't say WAY better - Thigpen had his own kind of breakout year and only threw 3 less TDs than Cassel did and he didn't have Welker and Moss to throw to. Thigpen is also a better rushing QB than Cassel. The Chiefs are on the hook for over $14 mil per year for Cassel - not that big of a steal... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But, Orlovsky for $3mil a year??? Now THAT'S a shitty signing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 But, Orlovsky for $3mil a year??? Now THAT'S a shitty signing.I wish I could remember the source of my favorite recent comment about Orlovsky, so I could quote it properly and give credit where it's due, but it the gist of it was that Orlovsky should sign with a CFL team ... because the end zones are deeper in Canada.

dondoboy Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 I admit, I was just sick of Kitna. It really wasn't his fault he spent most of his time on his back. Here's a decent report on who blew it this weekend in free agency: Philadelphia Eagles Jeffrey Lurie should not feel safe walking in the streets of Philadelphia. The Eagles have taken advantage of being $40 million under the cap by: 1. Letting the heart and soul of the defense Brian Dawkins jump ship to Denver. 2. Trading Lito Sheppard. 3. Appearing to now be out of the running to sign T.J. Houshmandzadeh. If this is how you go about trying to sell Donovan McNabb that you are trying to win now, well I suggest you try something else. It has been a dark weekend in the City of Brotherly Love. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dondoboy Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 God, that's embarrassing. You see the ref, but every defenseman had his bloody hands up. Orlofsky just stopped, looking around like someone just farted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Regarding the Chiefs/Cassel trade, it's being speculated that Belichek might have preferred a very high 2nd round pick over a 12th pick for money issues. A 2nd rounder is way cheaper. ALSO, New England may not have liked the idea of their 2008 Offensive Coordinator (Denver's current coach) coaching thier 2008 quarterback. That combiantion contributed greatly to a 10-6 record. Competitively, New England most likely felt more comfortable in having the 2-win, sucky Chiefs getting Cassel. Reagardless, a GREAT deal for the Chiefs. But the BEST part is that Jay Cutler is pissed off and wants out. If all this is true, what a completley moronic move by the Broncos. As a Chiefs fan, I LOVE it!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jules Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Also, isn't Belichek buddies with the KC GM? He threw him a bone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jakobnicholas Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Also, isn't Belichek buddies with the KC GM? He threw him a bone. Yeah, they're really good friends and close. But Belichek also was close with McDaniels. I think it mostly had to do with that Belichek didn't like the idea of McDaniels and Cassel teaming up again. The 2 did quite well together in New England. If it was an NFC team, maybe it'd be different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 The rumor is that Parcells leaked the Broncos involvement himself to mess with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
