It's really not a comment that I think Pioli would disagree with. Crennel didn't just come out and say that Orton was gonna be the guy, he just said if a guy produces, then you'd be a fool not to look at him as a potential solution moving forward.
I think it was just a flashback to when both he and Pioli were in New England in 2001, and right after they had handed Bledsoe a huge long term contract, Bledsoe went out and got hurt, and Brady came in and got the team rolling, and they ended up getting rid of Bledsoe and going with the guy who produced.
So while everyone is stuck on the idea that Pioli will never move on from Cassel, I think he will have no problem doing so if he feels like there is another guy on his team or available for the taking who is a clear cut upgrade and clear cut better fit for the team.
I'm still not convinced though that Orton is that guy based on his history. I just see him as, essentially, very similar to Cassel. Can have the occasional good game, but is way too inconsistent...
