This is a call-out to DJ - who still has a chance to learn from the veteran leadership around him. DBowe got a 4-game time-out due to choices he made. LJ got cut (a move that cost him probably $3-million or more) due to choices he made and non-performance on the field. DJ has a veteran named Vrabel he could learn from, step up, and be a real leader. “Keeping LJ in hindsight was a mistake sure but at the time coming in and starting fresh I don’t think running off a running back under contract is the best idea.”

A second round pick for him and the big V, a steal. He has played an iron man role with our OL. His ability to lead this team and hit the open man will improve as the OL improves. What more do you want? Lots want to give Jackson and Magee years to develope, so cut Cassel some slack. Get off Cassel’s back. A second round pick for him and the big V, a steal.

One. Secondly, Thigpen had to operate out of an offense where he didn't line up behind center because he couldn't operate in an offense where could line up behind center. Cassell has to deal with a lousy offensive line, a bad running game, a new system that was implemented one week before the season opener (granted he was hurt at the time), and changes in the receiving corp (he finally got some decent receivers in Chambers, Long, and Wade before Bowe was suspended). Once Cassell gets some help he'll be fine. I wish that all the Thigpen supporters would remember two things: first, how many games did Thigpen win? One.

Thigpen numbers would prob be much worse this year because this offense is an NFL offense, not a DII offense...

Comparing Cassel this year to Thigpen last year is hardly fair. Thigpen had Tony G to throw to last year...to the tune of 96 receptions, 1058 yards and 10 TD's. So, I think it would be fair to say that Cassel's numbers would look much better this year if Tony was still here. arrowhead1978 says:

Coming into the NFL the D-Line is one of the hardest positions to get accustomed to. And Jackson is really starting to show strides. I also believe Magee had a sack last week. Keeping LJ in hindsight was a mistake sure but at the time coming in and starting fresh I don't think running off a running back under contract is the best idea. You also mention the TE's that got picked up - mainly FA's filling in and brought in for blocking Pope is a good example of that. As far as IDing talent look at Cassel and O'Callaghan are good pick-ups along with Chambers and Wade - you aren't going to get every pick or acquisition right 100% of the time especially in the first year trying to figure out what your HC wants and getting scouts to look for that kind of player. And your "bitching" about Bowe being on the field when he is out of shape? He is a play maker and if you read the article Cassel seems to agree throwing him the ball more than anyone else in the last three games. I believe your being to critical of Pioli and Haley in their respective "rookie" years at their new roles. JB el cid,

His work ethic is second to none. Cassel says he's quick & precise in his routes. These are a few examples of why he is even in the NFL. The kid has a motor that won't quit. This to me, sets a good example for all our players. Lance has all the tools (except for his size) to be a better than expected player. Heart, Desire, Passion, these are all great mental attributes. He has so far, proved to me that he has the potential. We need to see more of Mr. Long to determine if he has the true talent & skills neccesary to be a good player. I am grateful that coach Haley is giving him the opportunity to play. Lance knows that this may be his only NFL opportunity to prove to himself & Chiefs Nation that he belongs. Good reporting Bob. I think that all of us are rooting for this kid to be a star. He just needs to do it quickly. Go Chiefs.

This guy is an extremely hard worker who has been patient for years to get an opportunity. He was rarely used in college, but brought his A-game everyday. Did you know that his only TD in college was a fumble recovery? Hasn't caught a TD pass in a game since high school, yet he has continued to work hard everyday in college and the pros with a bulldog mentality. But, like any player you can expect a few rookie mistakes. As far as his size, he is physically stronger than most receivers who weigh 15-to-20 pounds more than he does.

Thanks for the article on LL Bob. It’s really nice when you do a write up on a player because it makes us fans feel more in touch with the team and what they are about. Great stuff. I hope LL succeeds with the Chiefs.

Wish he was taller, to match his heart and determination. Hope he is becomes the unknown Poili/Haley found to help this team. Like I said before without Bowe we will see just what the Chiefs have in their WR corps. Long is one of the high points of a sad season, a feel good story.

Rob Thomas was a very tough as nails kinda guy who some how always got his job done. I hope his determination rubs off onto some of the others, soon. We have 7 games left... how many of those can the boys win?? Now that we are cancer free,(LJ) I look for two more W's. It is always about the TEAM.....and the right 53! In Coach Haley I trust.....do you? Lance Long………………..Rob Thomas, kinda the same just separated by about 14 years. Rob Thomas was a very tough as nails kinda guy who some how always got his job done.

Maybe as this year rolls on he will get that experience and become our Diamond in the Ruff for years to come. I do like to see the kid play and every time he gets the ball I keep thinking he may break a big play any second. Go Chiefs!!!
