One of the things that we loved to point out on this website was that all of Matt Cassel’s success last year came from the shotgun formation, and people generally assumed that GM Scott Pioli would bring the spread offense that the Pats used so well with him to Kansas City. Not so Fast. From Rotoworld:

Beat writer Kent Babb observed that the Chiefs didn’t practice many plays out of the spread formation in OTAs.
Babb also noted that the offensive braintrust prefers “to at least enter the season using Cassel in a Pro Style, drop-back look.” While the Chiefs figure to run plenty of multiple receiver sets, it’s worth a reminder that the shotgun was responsible for much of Cassel’s 2008 success. He’s going to be a risky fantasy pick if he remains under center where he has trouble reading the pass rush.

Well, this is interesting. Let’s take a player who we signed and knew he was only good at certain things, and take him out of his comfort zone completely. Then, let’s put approximately zero weapons around him and see how he does. My guess? The Chiefs will be among the league’s worst offenses.
