Matt Cassel

Crazy, right? Most Chiefs fans have demonized Chiefs quarterback Matt Cassel all season. In reality, Cassel has been one of the best quarterbacks in the league this year. Yeah, you read that right. The guy we as fans so love to dump on and constantly lay false blame on for the Chiefs struggles is playing at a pretty high level this year.

“Yeah, right” you might say, but what if I were to show you some of the QBs who have thrown more interceptions than Matt Cassel (4 INTs) this year? BEHOLD:

-Eli Manning (16)

-Drew Brees (14)

-Carson Palmer (13)

-David Garrard (10)

-Philip Rivers (9)

-Aaron Rodgers (9)

-Peyton Manning (7)

-Matt Schaub (7)

-Matt Ryan (5)

And those are just some of the guys. I left off all of the terrible QBs like Brett Favre and Alex Smith. Here’s the kicker, out of all QBs who have started every game for their team, Matt Cassel is tied for the least interceptions…with Tom Brady.

Oh, what’s that you say? What about his QB rating?
