Not quite, but I would bet if you hooked up various members of the Chiefs front office to a lie detector and ask them if they got a little giggly inside after that hit more than half wouldn't pass the test.

This franchise has had some bad and some unpopular QBs--Elvis Grbec, Brock Huard, Tyler Thigpen, Tyler Palko, Steve Bono--pretty much everyone to suit up at the position since Montana retired with the exceptions of Rich Gannon and Trent Green but I've never seen this town as unhinged about the QB position as it is this year with Cassell. You can mark him down for at least three turnovers every game, he has no arm strengh, and his lack of accuracy has already got one WR and one RB hurt this year. Forget keeping his job, if Pioli wants to not get burned in effigy at Arrowhead next September he absolutely has to find a way to get either Geno Smith or Matt Barkley with their first round pick this year. Even if he has to trade every other pick the Chiefs have in the draft this year it must be done. The Chiefs haven't taken a QB in the first round since 1983 and Arrowhead will be a ghost town next year if they don't.

Cassell has absolutely zero support from the fans right now and if you watched the game today it is obvious the coaching staff does not trust him making even the simplest throw. You would have an easier time selling Oakland Raider jerseys in Kansas City than Matt Cassell jerseys this year. I don't agree with cheering when one of your team's players is hurt but the Cassell experiment in Kansas City has to get the plug pulled. He has lost all support in this town, has absolutely no one in the organization with any confidence in him(possible exception might be Pioli but if he does he needs to get booted out on his ass as well), and has no chance of ever regaining any as long as he is in K.C. The only way he salvages anything in his career is with a fresh start with another team.
