Kansas City is pretty good and Cassel has been great.
He's benefitted from a lot of YAC by his running backs but I have to give him credit for not throwing the pics. However all his success is based off play action behind the best running game in the league. The Raiders took away the run and force him to pass and he was pretty mediocre. The key for the Chiefs is to not get behind by more than a score because without the running game they aren't going to win any games off Cassel running the majority of plays from a shotgun offense.
