He really hasn't put a whole lot of effort into finding a "viable alternative" to Cassel. For instance, just this year one pick after we took the game changing o-lineman Donald Stephenson in he third round, Seattle takes Russell Wilson. All Wilson has done is beat Green Bay and New England in the fourth quarter of both games (yes, a gift win, but stll a win against the Packers).

That's just one example. We could have easily taken Dalton over Baldwin, as well. But for whatever insane reason, Pioli has thought the QB position on this team has not needed addressing in his time here.

Russell Wilson beats the Packers and Patriots in his first 6 games....Cassel's best win is over a 7-9 Seahawks team...LMAO

You did, but the numbers don't bear you out.
We can talk about the QB's we'd rather have.
What we ought to be discussing is which one of these QB's is significantly better than Cassel today? That shrinks your list a bunch.

Yates completed 11 passes that day.
The Texans won because Foster went for a bill-fifty and two TD's.
The Houston D also produced 3 turnovers.
Not sure I give him much credit for that victory.

You can't infer about his job status, no. Yes, this is damage control. But we have ZERO idea if Pioli decided to do this on his own or if Clark told him to do it.

Those 2 scenarios have vastly different implications for his job status.

I would too, but that still doesn't solve anything. Quinnis better too, but it doesn't change much.

Occassionally, owners intervene but never GMs. It doesn't work that way. This is the stupidest Pioli theory there is. If he did this, he would be fired immediately and he would never work as GM again.

Nice job there Petro, way to ask him questions about things the fans all want to know about.

God damn stupid ****ing n00bs.

I completely believe that he had no choice but to do these interviews.

I maintain to this day that the trade for Cassel wasn't his mistake.
The mistake was the contract.

There have been a FEW other options, but not many as some would have you to believe.

I bet Clark is waiting to fire him the second we're eliminated from the playoffs.

He told Scott "until then, get your ass on the radio and try to make nice."

The fact that it was a taped interview in his office says alot. If Clark made him do it, it would have been at a press conference.

He is in complete control imo.

It is working that way. Pioli is without a doubt putting pressure on the staff to keep Cassel in the starting line up.

No one ever said there was umpteen billion chances to go get a QB. If there was, everyone would have one.

You only get a few...we whiffed on acquiring any competition whatsoever, didn't even bring in a capable backup....Scott is ultra ****ing fail.

If you are listening, he's talking about what I said.
