Kansas City Chiefs Preseason Stats: Quarterbacks

Photo

Part of the rest of today will involve me posting the final preseason stats for various positions on the Kansas City Chiefs. I know we're already talking about all of these other players in other threads but I think it's important to make sure everyone sees these. 

First up is the Kansas City Chiefs' quarterbacks: Matt Cassel, Brodie Croyle and Tyler Palko.

P.S. Sortable tables are back!

Opponents 148 83 933 56.10% 6.3 3 2.00% 1 0.70% 77 7 46 79

 

Here are a few more tidbits of information:

  • Matt Cassel took 47% of the snaps; Tyler Palko took 32%; and Brodie Croyle took 21% of the snaps;
  • Cassel was clearly the best passer according QB rating and completion percentage, two stats I'm big on using to evaluate QBs;
  • Cassel took most of the Chiefs' team sacks. I'd have to go back to the game tapes to determine if those were Cassel's fault or because Cassel played almost exclusively against first team defenses;

Any miscellaneous thoughts on the final preseason stats for the Chiefs' quarterbacks?

Cassel is CLEARLY the best QB on the team

and better than any of the QBs the Chiefs faced in the preseason.

good to know :)

(somewhat kidding here, of course)

this should be the most exciting Chiefs team in years! Most major needs filled with playmakers, and the league's best coaching staff... 10-6 a possibility?

no he isn't

Dixon>Leftwich>Ferris Bueller>Kordell Stewart>Palko>Quinn>KC Wolf>Cassel

Don’t you think you are being a little hard on KC Wolf? I mean, he hardly ever gets any time with the first team.

Misc. Thought #1

Matt Cassel is definitely in control of the O and has a great opportunity to be very good. He has the weapons around him and better O-Line, so I do expect improvement.

Misc. Thought #2 I sincerely hope that Pioli pulls the plug on Palko for the numerous other QBs that are available. I’ll be very dissapointed if we don’t upgrade the #3 QB.

Thanks for the post. This is a great comparrison and I do enjoy them.

What about Kolby Smith?

I hate the Donkeys, but I really hoped this guy would get on a team. He seemed good, but just had the same disease as Brokie.

I know at least one of those sacks

Wasn’t Cassel’s fault.

The play where Moore kind of fell down as the LB ran by him and then speared Cassel roughly .3 seconds after the snap.

Not much he could’ve done about that one.

That said… I’ll take Cassel at that completion % all year. I’d like to see him get a little better TD/INT ratio though.

But… if he goes through this season with a 79.3 rating, that’ll be a huge improvement and give us a chance to win at least 7-8 games, if not more.

I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.

I'm more

confident in our back-ups as back-ups than I am in our starter. Does that make sense?

For a Mizzou fan it sure does. ( ;

Who am I kidding? Nebraska won’t announce a starter until game time! Lol.

Remember the name Taylor Martinez.

Not too bad all in all

If Cassel can complete 65% on the year we will be in good shape!

by Skrappy on Sep 3, 2010 1:43 PM CDT reply actions  

More offtopicness

But through the preseason its nice to see denver and oaklands run defense dead last and 27th respectively and their ypc average are the two worst in the league. Hey its stats so its not that offtopic.

Seriously?

You put a picture of Brodie to lead off this post? You just trying to feed the Croyle over Cassel crowd, aren’t you? Haha!

by Chief_Elmo on Sep 3, 2010 1:55 PM CDT reply actions  

Being available

is part of what makes one QB better than another.

I too love Croyle’s skill set, but it’s unfair to speculate on what he could be if healthy, compared to another guy who has proven that he’s dependable.

by Tarkus on Sep 3, 2010 3:25 PM CDT up reply actions  

not really ... when playing, Croyle > Cassel

at least so far … and considering that accuracy is Cassel’s problem i just don’t see it changing.

by Home skillet on Sep 3, 2010 3:37 PM CDT up reply actions  

Ummm, how? Did you look at Chris's sortable table?

So you got the fax. So why didn't you add it to the resume? What do you mean? Of course martial arts training is relevant.

by BigRedChief on Sep 3, 2010 3:55 PM CDT up reply actions  

umm ... because i watch the games

doesn’t see open receivers
when he does see them he can’t usually hit them if they are beyond 10/15 yrds
when he does actually throw a decent pass it still makes the receiver stop/adjust because the pass isn’t great so it effects YAC

the only reason Cassel is starting is because the chiefs game him a big contract and Pioli refused to bring in any real QB competition.

i hope it changes but so far Cassel = stank

by Home skillet on Sep 3, 2010 4:32 PM CDT up reply actions  

What would Brodie have done with the ones?

I would have liked too see what he could do with the first team, but Cassel did fine while he was in there. But I noticed something during the game that Brodie lets his WR’s know when they made a good catch in one way or the other, like a pat on the back. Another thing the o-line guys help Brodie up when he’s on the ground just little thing’s like that make you wonder what is going on.

Another thing i noticed

Was T.Jones encouraging Cassel on the sidelines after the pick. Sometimes Cassel seems like a robot out there, i just wish he would show some emotion.
