The lockout made it impossible to get Stanzi prepared and while Palko was a disaster, he just didn't have enough time to complete the job. He deserved another year, and I'm quite sure that he was very annoyed with Cassel, not the kind of QB he wants. We may get stuck with Crennel and perhaps he is the right guy for now, but Pioli and Hunt should have let him fight through it. History on these kind of promotions is not favorable either. We shall see, but somebody who eventually takes a chance on Haley again is going to benefit. Those darn injuries were devastating, and it he still managed to get us back in the hunt. My biggest problem with Haley was the Muir promotion, but Weis complicated that too. Then Baldwin screwed up as well, and the 09 draft class was horrible anyway. Hunt is going to learn a lesson here, you decide what the 'Chief's way is, not import a cultural 'way' from some other organization, total crap.

See the people who think Haley is the main contributor to Bowe's and DJ's turnaround don't make much sense to me. DJ always had the potential, and I think he really thrived under Romeo. Bowe always was a beast. His rookie and 2nd season were pretty much identical to the last two seasons outside of the 15 touchdowns last year.

Brodie Croyle as a starter: 0-10
Tyler Palko.....1-3

There is a difference.. Brokie was a 3rd rounder and had a lot of potential but fell because he was injury prone. Our team was absolute garbage when he was starting, there is no getting around that. Tyler Palko is a bum from Arizona who couldn't even make in the CFL. No comparison at all
