Or even be average. <----I realize this is a poorly worded, long, run on sentence, but Im not changing it.
I and many others expected a below average year from him, just not this bad.
Im willing to bet that he makes a pronounced jump up in these rankings by this time next year after some of these gaping weaknesses are fixed and he progresses as qbs with his work ethic do.

I am willing to put any of these three on the line against any of the "horsemen" to say that Cassel cuts that number in half and ends up at least 22nd in these rankings next year or better. This puts me at a huge disadvantage because it is dependent on Pioli filling the holes that are there to give the kid a chance at achieving this, but I am basing my thoughts on the fact that I fully believe that Pioli looked at this as a evaluation year and that he will fill a couple needed holes to help his investment succeed. So call me a homer for this all you want or claim I am calling for a miracle, but I honestly think it is ralistic to expect that type of improvement or better. The kid is not a total loss.
I expected a below average to poor performance this year. That showed to be more than realistic, I just never thought it would have been this bad.
I realistically expect Pioli to fill at least half the holes we have on offense and for Weis to make a big difference in the progression of Mr Cassel.

I'm going to say this again.
If Pioli looked at this year as an evaluation year, then he's an incompetent, useless boob.
He should have been able to make evaluations from game film and start filling holes going into the season.
