I agree that no matter who the Palko thing is on it was fail on basically all sides.
However there is a reason that guys are backups. Look at Chicago, Indy, etc. You don't plan on your top qb going down. I realize you have to have a backup plan but when you have to play a backup, there is gonna ba a drop off.
I think CP tends to jump to the "it's either one thing of another" mentality and doesn't see the grey matter alot of times.
I tend to agree that haley got a shitty deal with Cassel. I don't really see alot of other options that he could have brought in to start. The search for qb is neverending and we shouldn't stop looking til we find one.
I think Pioli knows that. I think Cassel was brought in to be a stop gap type of player. Don't know why he got that much money but anyway. I think Pioli saw the roster and needed someone that would be a good leader and set a good example, which is something Cassel has done.
Now the roster is basically built, assuming the 3 ACL's come back healthy as they are a key piece to the pie.
Now it's time to go get a guy to lead the team with his ability at the qb position.
