Kansas City Chiefs Preseason Stats: Quarterbacks
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!

| Att. | Cmp. | Yds. | Cmp. % | Yds./Att. | TD | TD% | INT | INT % | Long | Sack | Lost Yds. | Rating | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M.Cassel | 59 | 38 | 293 | 64.40% | 5 | 3 | 5.10% | 2 | 3.40% | 30 | 4 | 23 | 79.3 |
| T.Palko | 42 | 24 | 215 | 57.10% | 5.1 | 0 | 0.00% | 3 | 7.10% | 39 | 1 | 7 | 41.3 |
| B.Croyle | 31 | 19 | 184 | 61.30% | 5.9 | 0 | 0.00% | 1 | 3.20% | 43 | 0 | 0 | 64.5 |
| Team | 132 | 81 | 692 | 61.40% | 5.2 | 3 | 2.30% | 6 | 4.50% | 43 | 5 | 30 | 63.7 |
| 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?

my mind is bursting from all the information overload!
keep the posts coming, no need for coffee!
The picture is a Chiefs pumpkin, yeah that is right a Chiefs pumpkin.
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

Dude... SERIOUSLY?!?!?!!!!
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.

I recall KC Chiefs in fall
Thier opponents tore there dress
What a mess
I confess
To love
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.
Cut KCWolf and start Broyle as team mascot!
Insert witty yet thought provoking phrase here.
although it should read
Dixon>Sanchez>Masoli>Blount>Thigpen>Brodie>DeBerg>KC Wolf>Warpaint>Meth Man>Cassel
I'd rather be a free man in my grave than living as a puppet or a slave
I'll give Cassel one
Cassel>JaMarcus

Wait.... yep, it's stopped at Blount cause he just punched the first three guys out.

Man that kid has a cannon of an arm!
He doesn’t look all that sturdy though…. not sure he can take the hits.

He reminds me of a young Brodie Croyle.

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.

Broncos lose yet another RB for the season...
We should see some division profiles soon, right Thoman(s)?

they dont need RB's
they got Tebow, 900-0

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.
Smile, its the second best things you can do with your lips!
they already dumped him
I doubt they bring him back.

he's getting cut from the Jags tomorrow

Sad but true.

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.

Wow, impressed with the numbers vs opposing QB's.
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
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.

even if it wasn't stats
its still good to talk shit on them any moment of the day.

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!

Here ya go....

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
