Would it be a mistake to fire Todd Haley?

I think talking about options for starter is tricky. The options weren't very good. But yeah, for starters, Smith and Moore. I was a big fan of bringing in Smith, if only for QB competition. Even Orton... I was more than okay with that for a short-term fix.

But there were a million better veterans than Palko and Croyle. And a young gun to develop in the wings in Stanzi came 3 years too late.

I still believe that Pioli was so overconfident in Cassel that it came almost to a point of defiance. Bringing in a competitive option only creates a QB competition, which might not give Cassel the chance to succeed.
