Matt Cassel is putting up great numbers and has his team in first place. Should he be in the discussion as well? Hell no.
I understand that people don't believe in KC and expect San Diego to take the division, and that's fine. I'm skeptical myself. But, this isn't week 3. We're 11 games into the year, and Rivers hasn't wrestled the division away from a team that won 6 games combined the last 2 years. What's up with that?
Rivers hasn't been clutch when San Diego needed him.
@ KC...completed 54% of his passes, sacked twice, fumbled twice, lost
@ Seattle...completed 55% of his passes, sacked 4 times, 2 INT's, lost
@ St. Louis...completed 59.5% of his passes, sacked 7 times, I INT, lost
@ Oakland...sacked 3 times and fumbled twice, lost
NE...sacked twice, fumbled twice, and threw a pick, lost
He lost to the NFC West twice. He hasn't been able to take care of business on the road against teams he should beat. MVP's should be able to do that.
