Pioli would look like much more of a genius if stanzi turned into a star than he would if cassel turned average

I don't expect we will ever find out for sure. I want Stanzi to succeed but I'm tempering my expectations with the fact he is a later round pick, and Cassel and Pioli are in love.

We are either going to the playoffs this next offseason, or getting a new GM.


I don't really see at this point how Cassel plays this season. Something is gonna have to happen, we weither trade up or sign someone else.

How the **** does someone who has a good eye for football talent, not see a glaring fail like Matt Cassel.

that's the problem. It's debatable if he does at all.

I think he does. The past 2 drafts shows that he does. That's why it's so hard for me to understand how he can possibly like anything he sees in Matt Cassel.

So we have Chadiha saying Haley didn't like Cassel and some other guy saying Haley liked Cassel.



This is gonna be a long offseasn.

Did he say Haley said that? In the OC the summary only says that Todd's dad says Cassel isn't good enough.

I think this might be a case of 1 plus 1 equals 3. It's amazing how often people will extrapolate facts in the absence of evidence ... no offense intended toward you, of course, Mr. O.city.

I haven't read anything that explicitly states that "Haley liked Cassel". What I have read is that Weis threw his hands up on Cassel, so Haley took over the job of developing Cassel. Then, when Cassel improved, Weis got the credit which irritated Haley. Haley admires and respects his father. I highly doubt that he would "like" Cassel as a player when his father called him trash on sticks.

I would also like to mention that the WR position isn't all about yards. Bowe's downfield blocking improved dramatically after Haley came along. In fact, it's one of the demonstrable reasons why some of JC's runs were so lengthy.

To me, it's beginning to look as though Dr. Evil has a "my way or the highway" philosophy that prevents him from seeing his own mistakes ... which, in turn, prevents him from correcting them.

Haley embarrassed Clark on the national tubewaves which is probably why he's gone. I don't think our core problems left with him, though.

Have to hope that Pollard takes his knee out or someone else in the 1st preseason game...

Nobody ever said Haley liked Cassel.

why? he drafted them both and cassel lower and actually cassel twice...

ROFL funny how every bad pick is on pioli but every good pick is on someone else

Guess there's two ways to look at this:

1) Haley told the guy this story to say "I'm screwed."

2) Haley told the guy this story to say "I'm winning with a guy even my dad said sucked."

No offense taken Fax.


I was just reporting what I had heard on here.

I'm starting to get the feeling that 1 of 2 things is gonna happen.

Either
a. Pioli brings Cassel back, which will lead to fail and he will likely be fired or.
b. Pioli gets someone else to play quarterback with all the bad juju flying around it's gonna be hard to get fans in that stadium.

we're rat-****ed.
