GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No on Poe? Powe-Poe be rollin' this year.

Wow. High risk first round pick by the Chiefs. Billy Beane would not have approved.

Hope he works out. It's about time for the Chief's to get some mileage out of a first round pick.

[mean]

It will be interesting to see what, if anything, Poe does under Crennel. I'm also not convinced that Tyson Jackson is quite the bust some people are suggesting. Let's see what these guys can do with a full camp / year under Romeo. I wouldn't say I'm exactly optimistic, but I feel like there's at least a chance of this working out in our favor.

Brodie Croyle has announced his retirement.

SI: Offseason Breakdown: Kansas City Chiefs

Outlook: This is a very talented team, there’s no doubt about that. That talent alone should get it to the playoffs easily, even in an AFC West that has a reloading Chargers and a Peyton Manning-led Broncos team.

But how far the Chiefs go in the postseason is up to Cassel and Crennel. Both are good enough to not get in the way. But can they be even better? If so, I dare say that the Chiefs have a chance to be legitimate Super Bowl contenders.

The Chiefs are not super bowl contenders but they will probably go 9-7 or 10-6.

Pro Football Weekly ranks Cassel as the 21 best QB in football and Ron Jaworski ranked him as the 22 best QB. Those rankings are fair but I would expect them to improve if the key players on offense stay healthy (Before last season Pro Football Weekly had Cassel ranked as the 16th best QB). It would be great to upgrade to a top 10 QB, but those types of upgrades are very expensive.

Some of Cassel's critics say his good year in 2010 was because of Charlie Wiess. That is an overstatement. Wiess was a pretty poor play caller for about the first five or six games of 2010. He did improve a lot as the year went on. On the flip side, promoting Bill Muir to offensive coordinator in 2011 was pathetically stupid. So if you are going to give Wiess credit for Cassel's good play in 2010, you have to give Muir some of the blame for 2011. Hopefully Daboll will learn from the mistakes made by Wiess and Muir.

Cassel needs a strong supporting cast to go 10-6. But he has proven he can go 10-6 with good support.

Totally agree. My opinion is that Cassel is a legit top 15 QB. He had a bad year last year when he was healthy, but his completion percentage was actually better than his pro bowl year. Haley put Cassel in more situations last year where everyone on the field knew he was passing and had to complete something on long yardage, it is no wonder his INTs were up.

Chiefs to host Arizona Cardinals during Training Camp in St. Joseph

[KCKev]

Watching the Chiefs now here in Tucson, so that pretty much means the Cards will lose as they do every time I watch them.

[mean]

The Chiefs starters look pretty damn good. Wow.

[macnw]

Bowe, finally. He better put up this year.

[mean]

He can't engage in any team activity (practice, etc) until Monday or Tuesday, is that right? I heard something about a 3-day waiting period after signing before he can actually rejoin the team. Not sure if that's true, however.

Russell Wilson in his first professional start is a significantly better NFL quarterback than Matt Cassell.

Truly incredible and comical.

[mean]

Matt looked really good a couple weeks ago, but yeah, he looked pretty bad last week and hasn't shown anything to inspire confidence this week, although there have been at least a couple of throws tonight so far that should have been caught.

[AllThingsKC]

I am at the Chiefs game right now. The 37-7 score really gives a person time to check KC Rag while at Arrowhead.

Anyway, I don't think Cassel has looked that bad. As mean, a few passes should have been caught.

And, Seattle just scored again. 44-7!
