If they keep Cassel then Pioli has put his job on the line with this decision.
continuity helps a lot of things but also puts a big bullseye on the decision maker.

Cassel -v- Orton --> No brainer Orton -v- all QBs available to us BEFORE Orton walks --> pretty much a no brainer as well Orton -v- FA Manning and/or draft maneuvers --> different matter entirely, but even then nothing is guaranteed us as we have neither #1 pick in the draft nor exclusive rights to Manning. Depends on what presents itself wrt opportunity and cost.

Judging by piolis demeanor in the press conference I truly believe pioli is walking on egg shells right now. I think bunt seems like a guy who actively holds his GMs accountable. I think if this team sinks, piolis gone. |

Why! He went out and spent a lot of money on a rock star gm. It was like hiring parcels only to realize you were getting a retread version of him.
He fired a gm, hired the most coveted candidate, and it appears he grilled the shit out of pioli a few months ago. As for cheapness, I don't know if we know how much that's a hunt directive or how much that is pioli trying to arrogantly prove he can build a team for less. That was his m.o. In new England. I don't have a problem with what hunts done so far. We're not losing because we aren't spending. We are losing because the all star has made a few huge miscalculations. |

There is a fundamental disagreement with how we view the team and how Clark viewed it. To the Hunts, the Chiefs are an asset, an investment. It's a financial property, not an emotional one. It's also a guaranteed bankable profit. I think his passion is soccer, and its reflected by the difference in the way the teams are managed.
