It's dumb that Pioli wouldn't want Quinn to succeed. He signed the guy for ****'s sake. This place is reeruned sometimes.

If Quinn sucks Pioli can say "Well, we tried fans but Cassell is clearly the better QB"

And if Quinn does good he can say "Well we tried with Cassell, he did go the Probowl and everything but, you know, you can never tell with the mental stuff. Anyways I kindve anticipated this would happen so with my ingenious superior intellect I brought in Brady and you see, Im smart huh?"

one would think that thought would have crossed Pioli's mind before he made the move to trade for Cassel. (seeing as how he was around Cassel from the time he came into the league)

just shows how smart Pioli is when it comes to QB's.
he got lucky when he drafted Brady or TB was Bill Bellichicks pick.

Here's what I know...

We've seen this before w/ Damon Huard, when a QB loses all faith in his ability to perform, when they're up against the ropes and everyone and their mothers are rooting against them and hoping they fail, they just give up. That's what Cassel did. You saw it in his face. He gets rattled when the fans boo him....we've all seen that on the CBS camera.

Cassel was talking to Pioli on the phone right before that possession

Cassel was not hit in the head at any point...whether it be from a player or the fall he took.

The gameplan was designed to prevent him from throwing the football, yet he still managed to turn the ball over like a rookie QB who was in way over his head playing professionally in the NFL.

I honestly don't think Cassel would do well in the CFL. I really firmly believe that.

We have no idea who Cassel was talking to.

Or even if he was talking to anyone, since there's no footage of it.

And, as the GIF showed, he was definitely hit in the head. He was driven into the helmet of another player. Direct contact.

This has gotten stupid.

Yes, he was hit in the head. Clay I believe posted the freaking still of it.

I personally saw on the TV he was talking on the phone to someone.

It wasn't Crennel, Daboll or Zorn ....who else would it have been?

He was hit in the shoulder...by BOTH players. There was NO helmet to helmet contact.

JESUS CHRIST DUDE SHUT THE **** UP.

I've seen the gif of him getting hit in the head. CR posted it.

I reviewed the entire broadcast. This footage doesn't exist.

It was like a 2-3sec clip.

you probably missed it.

i believe i even posted about it on CP in the game thread as soon as it happened.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. I have it in front of me RIGHT NOW.

It doesn't exist.

OK, here is your phone call. Look at the time on the clock.

This not even CLOSE to the time he's hurt.

It's not even before the same possession. After this phone call he goes on the field for a possession, the Chiefs get a couple of first downs and wind up punting after Dexter's penalty.

He gets hurt on the NEXT possession.

Romeo degrading Quinn before he even starts is an interesting topic. I don't think I've ever heard Crennel speak negatively about a player, but he sure seemed to when asked about Quinn. Why? He afraid the fans will be disappointed in his performance when put up against the shitfest quarterbacking we have bore witness to the last 4 years? An opening to make sure that Cassel gets his job back when he's "cleared" to play again? I don't think Romeo is smart enough to think too far in the future. Why would Pisoli have Crennel talk about Quinn the way he did? It's got to be so that His Precious can lead the team again don't you think?
