The guy needed the entire year to evaluate the roster according to some here, yet he traded for a QB a month after being hired.

Perhaps, who knows. Certainly you or I don't know that.
With Cassel, if he didn't make the move when he did, he would have ended up in Denver or somewhere else. I get that he made them move quickly, but he kind of had to if he didn't like Sanchez at 3, and wanted to make a move at QB.
Like I said, if Cassel doesn't have a good year in '10, then we should be in a position to take a guy like Gabbert, Barkley, or Locker, assuming they come out. And, IMO, those guys all have more upside than Sanchez, and will most likely have less question marks due to more playing time and game film to gauge them on.
