That's not true. I was told Kyle Orton and Matt Cassel were equivalent players.

This.

Pioli really ****ed Romeo over this offseason.

Orton
Campbell
Tannehill
Manning

Any of those guys would have saved Piolis job. The fact he ignored all of them is cause for dismissal.

"decision making detrimental to the team"

Pioli didn't **** anyone. Especially Romeo, who just padded his retirement account.

Romeo made numerous comments about wanting Orton back after this was reported.
Romeo interviewed RG3 and said at the combine he is "the type of qb you go up and get"
Romeo was vocal about Manning
Romeo interviewed Tannehill twice and had a private workout with him...he obviously liked him.
Romeo said "Cassel is the starter until we get another quarterback"

All of this was over the course of a couple months and all he got was a Pioli surprise of waking up one day finding out he had signed Quinn.

Tell me again how he didn't get ****ed over.

Romeo wasn't winning crap here either way.

He got a nice fat check.

Boss, I'm with you on this. Romeo was pretty outspoken from the moment he got named interim.

I despised the Romeo hire. But you are absolutely right that Romeo made it clear as day he wanted a new qb. **** pioli. Let me also mention that while Romeo promoted qb competition when Quinn came in, pioli said outright... Quinn is our backup, cassel is our starter. **** pioli.

Nobody will ever want to work with pioli unless it's mcdaniels. I agree that Romeo got ****ed over.

Scott couldn't find a ****ing soul besides Romeo who would take the ****ing job. Charlie Weis bolted as quick as he could. Was it Haley, or was it Scott? Weis could work for Belicheck, he respected him. How about working for the new Scott? I dunno, maybe Haley wasn't the reason Weis waddled away as quick as he did...

Matt Cassel was the main problem for every ounce of fail we have had to endure.

Trading a second rounder for him wasnt a bad decision IMO...even though I hated Cassel.

Signing him to that reeruned deal (sorry jason) and handcuffing him to the starting spot has overshadowed some very solid moves that Pioli has made for this franchise since.

It's a real shame...all he guy had to do was his job and keep trying to find a franchise quarterback and he would be a hero.

People on here would be photoshopping him in a superman suit if he had moved up for RG3 or Tannehill.

Cassel is not the only problem with the franchise. That's an incredibly simplistic point of view.

The defense has been a dumpster fire this season far too much, and everyone knows Crennel is a fat, worthless puppet.

Don't even get me started on the drafts. We all know they have been vastly overrated.

Every single draft pick would play better if we had a qb that gave them hope instead of take it from them.

Brandon Flowers intercepts a pass from Flacco and one play later, Cassel wastes a timeout and then throws a pick when a tight end is wide open on the other side of the field.

That's just one example of probably 20, this year alone, that Cassel stole the energy from this team.

It's no mistake that the team plays energized once Cassel is out.

They know they have a chance without him.

I'm sure Javier Arenas would play better with QB hope. LMAO

You just need to cut bait. This GM is fail. We're literally a play or two away from 0-5.

This GM is fail because he chose Cassel over

Dalton
Campbell
Orton
Manning
Tannehill

Not because he didn't draft well.

We're one of the worst teams in the league with Cassel.

Without him, we'd probably be a fringe playoff contender.

It's a bunch of wastoid bullshit either way.

he also didnt draft well in the last 4 years. I dont care if you are still a homer and think guys like Tony Moeaki are good. Because newsflash: they are not. Pioli has had way more turds or average nobodies than he has had hits and it's not even close

especially when you consider all the play makers around every single pick he has passed on over a 4 year span, ignoring the BPA for his massive ego to make a Pioli pick

but hey, "it's a process"

It's.

:facepalm::facepalm:

And a Cassel goal line fumble away from 2-3.

Hey, homer. Missed you.

I'd say play. Saints TD that was overturned for ball hitting the ground... then they missed the FG. Play looked like a TD to me... and if it doesn't get overturned we are down 31-6 instead of 24-6.
