Pioli has obviously been terrible with the QB situation thus far. As far as everything else roster-wise, not so bad. Especially contract situations. Now he has made a major draft mistake in Jackson(where we got him, he actually isn't bad now as most would agree I imagine). So if you want to use that to judge Poe already ok I guess, although I think that is also using his failure at the QB position to judge him in this debate.
On a full view the QB situation is certainly enough in the end to be his undoing. Thats not what we are looking at here though. Its not about saying should he be here, its about seeing if we think he will do the right thing with Bowe. Considering Jackson was one of his few non-QB mistakes, and that there really haven't been any contract mistakes, I am not really going to throw him under the bus for this. Especially when it hasn't even played out yet.
Now as I said, if one wishes to rip him for future QB moves just based off the past, go ahead. I as well fully expect even more QB mistakes in the future. I figure we can look forward to Matt starting almost no matter what, and that even if he does come out Stanzi won't get the shot. Now certainly that goes on the coach, but it also falls on the GM for blocking the young QB with an average backup, assuming Quinn really hasn't been insanely unlucky so far. I also don't doubt that he won't get rid of Cassel next offseason. But in just trying to figure out how he will handle Bowe, I don't think we allow ourselves a proper guess by letting his QB decisions lead us to our final guess here.
