I've talked about this a lot in my assesment of Cassel's play after watching all of the Patriot games I could when it became apparent we were going to be going after him.

I think Gailey recognized this, but Haley didn't want to change the philosophy he brought just to hide his QB's weaknesses.

I belieev he thinks the team will be better off in the long term of he is able to develop Cassel into a traditional drop back QB.

Failing that, he'll get another QB.

At the end of the day, he's probably right.
