Minnesota would have been smart as well to get him, but they got Brett Favre to try to get a new stadium.

I thought it was a good article. I for one though think that being a first year GM deserves more slack than a first year head coach. Not attempting a field goal in the first half of the raiders game was purely coaching. As to draft picks, and other player/salary cap decisions, we haven't seen them bare fruit yet. Good article though,and I hope that Haley and Pioli were good choices at their respective jobs.

Hey, that's just MY take. Believe what you please.

I really wish the local media would stop trying to sabotage the confidence of our sixty million dollar QB...that's for sure. Now it's a national story? What? JFC

If a media story sabotages is confidence that's all I need to know about him.

agree to disagree... that's cool.. . Cassel wasn't my first choice either but I figured I would at least give him a chance to win me over

Personally, if I were given a $60 million dollar plus contract, there's nothing that anyone could say in the press or public that would affect me.

I'd have so many hot chicks ready to massage my body and stroke my ego that I'd be the most confident mother****er to ever walk on a football field.

If his confidence is "sabotaged" this easily, he never had any to begin with.

Sure as shit is brown, I don't remember Joe Montana, Tom Brady, Troy Aikman, or Steve Young having their confidence crushed by questions over a QB controversy

The first opinion Haley gave PUBLICLY on Cassel was, and I quote:

"He seems like a guy who has the right mental make-up, I hope that he can play".

Does that sound like the ringing endorsement of a Head Coach who is in love with his hand-picked Quarterback to you?

We're talking about two throws. Two.

Cassel has no deep threat so safeties are gonna hover in the 25-yard range all game long.

It's gonna be tough sledding, and throwing to midget doesn't make it easier.

No shit. And we're talking about Kansas City.

Just imagine Cassel in Chicago or ****ing New York City.

That boy had better nut the **** up, quick.

No, we're talking about his entire pro career.

I think Pioli had his QB picked before he even hired Haley... so Todd is just playing the hand that's been dealt....

How would you liked to have been Troy Aikman in 1989, Cowboys suck ass and before you play a snap they take another QB giving up their first round pick next year for the new coach's old QB in college. No wonder they had a dyntasy.

All 16 games in four plus years.
