Conspiracy Theorists Unite
 

Okay, so I have heard many conspiracy theories on here from:

1. Pioli contolled the gameday roster, which forced Haley to play Cassel.

2. Pioli stated that Stanzi would not play in his first season, which essentially forced Haley to play (and take the heat for) Palko when Cassel and Orton were injured.

3. Pioli still controlls the gameday roster and Crennel has no choice but to play Cassel.

ASSUMING that ALL of the above is true..........Why wouldn't Pioli do something to prevent the Notre Dame golden boy from being successful such as limit the play calling or restrict downfield passing?

If his ego is a big as they say and knowing the fanbase is digging in for an assault...........wouldn't he do everything in his power to give the appearance that Cassel is the best option?

Haley definately appears to have been the scapegoat at this point.

What say you?

Its Win Win for Pioli at this point

We've also heard that the game plan is to run, run, run again this Sunday so if true, it seems he is doing that.

I think there would be a protest if a GM tried to control playcalling.

Such a thing has never happened, IMO.

STOP.
Can't believe anything you read here.

I'm not saying you're naive but I have some prime ocean front property in Illinois I'll sell ya.

I would suggest that he would control Crennel who would control the play calling. Crennel definately hasn't been overly enthusiastic at the possibility of playing Quinn in his comments to the media.

He brought in Quinn too?

Almost like there is a cocked gun to his head? http://i46.tinypic.com/i263ht.png

How much I want it?! Lmao

I'll make ya a deal you can't resist.

I honestly believe that even Pioli will not put Cassel back on this fanbase. With as much attention as we brought him, Hunt, and the city... everyone in the US knows this fanbase hates Cassel.

Pioli will be rooting for Quinn to succeed so he can look like a genius for bringing him in.


And yes, I do believe in the OP's list 1-3 are true.

with the Puppet as head coach i think not.

Why do you think this is a conspiracy? It seems like a realistic situation to me

I could believe that Pioli forces Cassel to start, but the playcalling has been altered because Cassel cannot throw. I think Cassel was read the riot act which is why he audibled out of a pass several times on Sunday. Cassel will have to survive as a game manager. I will reserve judgement on the rest until I see them go 75% run with Quinn under center.
