Most of those are not starters and 2 are rookies. When you start a rookie you have to have realistic expectations. Hell look at the difference between Mark Sanchez last year and this year. I think that Cassell is a bottom 5 starting quarterback, because he is what he is. I don't think he's going to get better. Not saying that Clausen (I wasn't big on him anyways) or Hall will, but there's a chance they will so I wouldn't rate them worse than Cassell. He was signed to be the future franchise qb and he's failed. Of course there are worse qb's but that's why they ride the pine. It's also why I prefer the Jets strategy of signing an old vet for their backup qb. Sure Brunell isn't going to come in and win any games for you, but he also probably isn't going to cost you one with a mistake. Chiefs should sign Jeff Garcia, not necessarily to start him immediately, but if they start losing games due to Cassell they can make the switch before it's too late.
