For those of you that think Pioli, or any other GM is ever going to directly come out and say "Well, I shouldn't have traded/draft x/y/z" - and throw some player under the bus, forget about it. It won't happen. Besides Pioli's ego won't allow him to admit that because Matt Cassel ultimately is the sword he will have to fall on. He's responsible for the QB position. The QB came from his old team and he worked the trade out w/ his old buddy. That lands 100000% on Pioli. You can't tell me that Haley (a rookie HC aka a Pioli "yes" man) sat down and said "look, we need Matt Cassel". Did Haley know that Cassel would be hand picked from the GM coming into the gig? Who knows...but either way what would Haley say - No, and possibly not getting his shot at being a HC in the NFL?
I don't think I can really forgive Pioli for anything really. Other than Houston being gift wrapped to us in the 3rd rd of the draft because he likes to smoke pot and an obvious BPA pick/huge need at safety in Eric Berry, he's never made any "Wow" draft picks. Most of our good core of players - Charles, Bowe, Albert, DJ, Hali, Flowers, Carr, Dorsey (to some degree), Colquitt all came/drafted from previous regimes. I'll give him credit for ultimately making our Oline better, but that's about all the good he's done here in KC.
I just want him to GTFO of Kansas City and to never be heard from again.
