If they are better, of course. But I have no reason to think they are.

There lies the big problem. We should, by now, KNOW if Stanzi is better than Cassel or not. That we don't is a function of either Pioli's lunatic instinct to protect his own ego, or Haley's silly and childish destructive QB games. We have seen Cassel's upside and we are underwhelmed. We have not seen anything close to Stanzi's upside. What we have seen are hopeful hints that he might have one. THAT is already a good first step for hope. Until Stanzi proves he does not have it, he's our "hero."

I AGREE 100%.

the Chiefs FO FAILED by not letting Stanzi get experience after Cassel went down instead of playing Failco.

That wasn't a FO call. Haley played Palko.

the FO should have stepped up to the plate and demanded Haley play Stanzi.

And possibly create an alternative to Matty? No way.

Then why sign Orton? I think to force Haley to sit Palko.

I know you are joking but there are some who think that way and I don't get it.

If Stanzi succeeds that is still Pioli's pick and he will get the credit. It's not like if Stanzi becomes a pro bowl QB that when people see Pioli they will say hey there is that useless turd who gave up a 2nd round pick and a mega deal to Matt Cassel. I imagine they would say there is that lucky bastard who got a good QB in the 5th round and turned the Chiefs around.

Not sure, but I think that's a big no no. Maybe they tried and that's why Haley attempted to sabotage the team.

Not after he got canned and RC took over, had three games left. There was no point to play Orton and now that Orton is gone doesn't make sence why they picked him up off waivers.

Well, they picked him up three weeks before he started, and Haley still started Palko. The division was still in play during those last three games, so I'm glad Orton played. We lose them all with Palko.
