Found November 15, 2011 on The Penalty Flag: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Matt Cassel,  Tom Brady,  Tyler Palko
TEAMS: Kansas City Chiefs,  New England Patriots

Matt Cassel was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2009 and was given a $63 Million contract. Cassel became available due to him making the most of his chances when Tom Brady was injured and knocked out in Week 1 of the 2008 Season, ironically against the Kansas City Chiefs. He has done well for himself in KC, including leading them to the Division Championship last season. For Matt Cassel, his career as a Chief has been up and down, and now he is about to be on another downhill slide as his 2011 season may be done due to a significant hand injury. That leaves Tyler Palko, an undrafted free agent taking over as the starting quarterback of the Chiefs. For as weak as the AFC West has been, it is possible Palko could lead the Chiefs to the playoffs for the second straight season. Even though we are just getting started in the wild playoff race, it’s not too off base to look ahead to the off-season and whether Cassel’s injury could lead the Chiefs to draft a new Quarterback in the 2012...

  • The Chiefs need a QB who is going to build the ego's of the other players. Get a QB that will make the reciever's want to catch the ball instead of dropping the ball as much as they do now. There's no enthusiam on this team and its sad!!! Come on Chiefs your a young talented team and you can be number one if you just work with each other and start being a team that wants to be number one!! I'm a fan of yours and I take alot of crappy comments about the Chiefs but I will continue to take those comments cause I have faith in you, the Chiefs!! Can't you do the same for us fans and show us that you have faith in yourselves and each other?! Chiefs all the way baby!!! :-))
