Chiefs officially place Matt Cassel on I.R.

[NV]

rotoworld:

Chiefs placed QB Matt Cassel on injured reserve with a fractured right (throwing) hand, ending his season.
It's going to be an ugly close to the season in Kansas City, and not because Cassel was a franchise-caliber passer. His backup, Tyler Palko, might be the least talented No. 2 quarterback in football. Cassel, 29, finishes with a 10:9 TD-to-INT ratio, his numbers across the board taking massive hits after losing ex-offensive coordinator Charlie Weis. Cassel struggles with accuracy, decision making, and pocket presence, and isn't the long-term answer in K.C. We're interested to see whether GM Scott Pioli agrees to pay Cassel's $5.25 million salary in 2012. It's certainly not an unmanageable cost for a starting quarterback, but Cassel isn't a good starting quarterback. At the very least, he will face competition for his job in 2012 training camp.

haha. Tyler Palko.

I heard on Boomer and Carton this morning that Joe Flacco transferred from Pitt because he didn't think he could overtake Tyler Palko as the starting Quarterback. Thought that was pretty interesting.

Palko > cassel

...... Any person who can throw a football > cassel

I just wish the chiefs would get an actual good QB for once.
