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.

I know Cassel isnt young, but what do you think his upside in a year or two or 3 if we keep starting him? Ive mentioned it before that i think its probably close to Matt Hasselbeck in Seattle. It took him 3 or 4 years there before he became truly solid and the team began to gel.
