The lockout made it impossible to get Stanzi prepared and while Palko was a disaster, he just didn't have enough time to complete the job. He deserved another year, and I'm quite sure that he was very annoyed with Cassel, not the kind of QB he wants. We may get stuck with Crennel and perhaps he is the right guy for now, but Pioli and Hunt should have let him fight through it. History on these kind of promotions is not favorable either. We shall see, but somebody who eventually takes a chance on Haley again is going to benefit. Those darn injuries were devastating, and it he still managed to get us back in the hunt. My biggest problem with Haley was the Muir promotion, but Weis complicated that too. Then Baldwin screwed up as well, and the 09 draft class was horrible anyway. Hunt is going to learn a lesson here, you decide what the 'Chief's way is, not import a cultural 'way' from some other organization, total crap.

A couple of issues here.....How is it impossible because of the lockout, for Stanzi to get "ready" when we saw what we did out of Cam Newton and Andy Dalton? Plus T.J. Yates finally got his chance after two others got hurt in front of him?
I don't know how Weis complicated the "Muir" promotion. Word was out before the regular season was over that year that Charlie was leaving so they had more time to find a replacement than any other normal year including the year Haley got hired.
It wasn't Hunt who decide which "way" to go. He hired Scott, paid him handsomely, $5 million per year if I recall right and let him do his job. He knew hiring him he would do things a certain way and probably agreed to that based on his track record.
If Pioli would have changed things all up once he got to KC and failed we would have been all over him worse than now.
Just my take.
