It appears Scott Pioli learned only one thing in New England: be secretive, and have a tall, tough QB who works hard, and you will dominate the NFL. Turns out of course this is wrong, but it's all Scott Pioli knows, which is why he repeatedly doubled-down on Matt Cassel, which all but destroyed the franchise. The damage Cassel was allowed to do to the franchise because of Pioli's ignorance can't be overstated. It's not Cassel's fault, so it's hard to hate the guy, but wow, did he suck the life out of the franchise. No other player compares.
