Pioli interview with Jack Harry.

[Amnorix]

In a surprising development, Scott Pioli met with this reporter and candidly expressed the team's disappointment at the development of presumed starting quarterback Matt Cassel and how the team desperately needs to move in a new direction to, as he said it, "save my ass from getting axed along with every coach, assistant coach and the waterboy come two or three years from now."

"Well," started Pioli, clearly looking for the right words before deciding to let it all hang out, "what can I say? He sucked. You saw it too. Everyone saw it. You think we're ****ing blind? It's not like we're thinking we're watching Joe Montana while the fans are watching Ryan Leaf for Chrissakes. We're ****ed with that guy. Captain Checkdown ain't gonna win shit in this league. I thought he'd get better, and he did, kind of, but without Moss, Welker and those guys, he can't cut it."

"So yeah, I mean, whaddya think? We need a new quarterback. HAVE to have one," he emphasized, stabbing his chubby finger in my direction. "Whatever it takes. Two firsts, three firsts, my left testicle, whatever. The NFL has our ass in a sling, our nuts in their hands, and they know it."

With that, tears starting to well in his eyes, he walked out.




^ apparently nothing short of this level of publicly stated commitment will satisfy Chiefs' fans that Pioli **might** be looking to upgrade at the QB position.
