Matt Cassel traded to the Chiefs!

Wow the Chiefs just got better and might even compete for the divisional title this year is Matt plays like he did last season.

 

I was sure the Pats were gonna hang on to him since Brady's recovery was supposedly not going smooth.

We aquired Cassel & Vrabel for a second round pick, which was brilliant imo. Now we need to go after Canty & some roll players along with drafting Curry at #3 in the draft ( the best player in the draft)....we will compete in 2009-2010.

 

That being said I know you are a Donkeys fan & I must say, getting Buckhalter & Dawkins was a great move.

Yes getting Dawkins especially put a smile on my face. :tumbsup:

I may be in the minority, but this time last year I said that the Browns had overrated Derek Anderson and should trade him for a high draft pick. I was right.

 

Well, Matt Cassel is this year's Anderson. Without an offensive line or Randy Moss, the guy is going to scramble around in the stretch offense and get hammered.

 

And Mike Vrabel is a paper tiger. The Patriots are adept at dumping aging veterans at the right time, i.e. Willie McGinest. I think they knew Vrabel was done.

 

Sorry to be a wet blanket. I hope I'm wrong. :(

You are incorrect on all counts...

 

We gave up a second round pick for a potential franchise QB. Pioli is a smart guy & drafted Cassel...he knows what he's getting. I might add that Cassel was sacked twice as much with the Pats O-Line last year & Thigpen was sacked 21 times all year. Our line is not that bad...Cassel will flourish in this Haley offense.

 

As for Vrabel, he was not aquired to be here for 10 years. The defense is very, very young. We need leadership & experience...he will deliver that. Not to mention he will play middle LB...they blitz & stop the run...he will do that in a very productive manner for 3-4 more years. We will draft Curry at three and have one of the best LB core in the NFL.

 

The blogs on ESPN have about 95% of Pats fans pissed off because they feel they got hosed...I think they're right!

you are absolutely right! the pats got totally hosed on this deal....the chiefs are making big strides already, and the draft is yet to come...Denver is also making great strides to be much better this year, (other than considering to trade cutler) they both will compete with the chargers this year....some teams want to win and show it...., others like philly just can't seem to get any help for mcnabb and seemingly won't try......not sure why?.....

Cassell's job got a LOT tougher with the trade of Tony Gonzalez. that alone will prove to be huge this season.

 

They could always trade for Tony Scheffler since the Bronco's have decided to trade everyone that's good. :hammer:

We don't need anything but a blocking tight end. Look at Arizona's offense...it was 3 wide out which is what we will do. We'll be okay. Who had a worse drafter? The Raiders or the Bronco's?

That would be the Raiders but the Broncos did some things that are making their fans scratch their heads.

Their problem for the last few years has been defense and most notably the defensive line that can't put any pressure on the QB but what do they draft, like one D-lineman and a shit load of safeties. Maybe McMoron, I mean McDaniels knows something I don't. And for the record I didn't mind the Knowshon Moreno pick as I think he should be a very good back.

Would have been a great pick up had they not signed 17 running backs in the offseason. I think the AFC West have all lost their minds...

    • I posed him that exact question on his discord page as to what his future plans are.... He said he plans to relax for a bit, do his You Tube thing, keep writing new music and then will decide how to release that music.  He said as of now he's thinking he'll either do a solo thing or form his own band.  He didn't say this but I'd sort of envision a Daughtry type "band" where he kind of puts a band behind his name. So essentially, I think you're right on with his plans.  Ultimately, I think like you say, the control is a big part of it.  I think he wants to be able to operate on his own schedule to maintain his health and family obligations. It'll be interesting to see what sound the new material takes on.  It would seem logical to think it would be rock/melodic rock of some sort since that's really the type of music he's built his following with but he certainly has shown he can dabble anywhere from AOR to metal.
    • Glad I got to see them with Erik in front. All the best to him, definitely looking forward to his future outings when he is fully recovered. Would be cool to see him form his own band, where he could take control, and play around in different genres, from full on metal, to soothing AOR, the guy is so versatile.
    • Remedy - Crying Heart. One I've just seen thanks to the Iridium channel.  From the upcoming album. It's a Killer.     
    • Let's not forget Benny Hill. What a Magnificent show that was.    
    • Yeah... I dunno about that. It would be too cringe. Who knows? If I'm high enough, I might submit a video. 
    • Yep great track and if you fancy being in the video for "The Feeling" nows your chance.  
    • I'm proud to say that I had this single when I was a mere 8 years old. KISS were big down here then. Norman Gunston is Iconic for Aussies of my vintage.  The face ln the bottom left says it all. Hilarious.     
    • All in all, this is a great story. Erik played a brilliant, well received, albeit short cameo with one of our favourite bands.  It was a win, win, win. A win for us, a win for Skid Row (the album certainly put them back on the map) and a win for Erik, adding this to his already impressive resume. The fact that it was so amicable with both parties is also great to see.
    • I really like this album - not every song on it but there are some surprisingly catchy melodies all over. Personally I think the singer adds great energy to the mix. It reminds me of the earlier Bai Bang ("closer to you")
