It's too soon to pull the guy who helped get you to the playoffs last year, especially when you have Indy and Minn coming up on the schedule and take some heat off of everyone (players, coaches and management).
But, if KC loses those games, they'd have to play Stanzi and/or Palko in order to determine how they should move forward. If Stanzi plays well and could win 3 out of 5 games at the end of the year, then Haley and Pioli look good for finding a diamond in the rough and coaching him up. If Stanzi fails, "well he's just a 5th rounder, what do you expect, now we know we've got to use that early 1st draft pick on a QB."

Hmmm.
I'm having trouble figuring out where we disagree.
Maybe it's this; you're saying that the decision to pull Cassel would be mutual (between Haley and The Don). Perhaps so. However, I'm saying that, were Haley to make the decision unilaterally, that would be a statement which would indicate just how pointless the entire Cassel experiment and the attendant, prior decisions have been. Ergo, Pioli is a dumbass.
