The Kansas City Chiefs made a bold move acquiring quarterback Matt Cassel and linebacker Mike Vrabel from the New England Patriots, in exchange for a second round draft pick. Tom Brady and his injured knee must be feeling just fine or they would have never let Cassel go.

Cassel had a wonderful year filling in for Brady that included a passer rating of 89.4, 21 touchdowns, and over 3500 yards in the air. Vrabel finished the year with 62 tackles and 4 sacks. Cassel will immediately help at this vital position that the Chiefs have not had in years. Combine that with new offensive minded coach Todd Haley, and the Chiefs don`t look so terrible any more.

But what looks great on paper, doesn`t translate success on the field. You still have to suit up every Sunday against the world`s greatest athletes. Ask the Dallas Cowboys and Tony Romo how well "paper champions" do!
