he said he could win with Brady Quinn and was polite to Cassel ... that's it.

i would of much rather kept Weis,Crennel and dumped that POS Haley.

This.

Weis talks about Quinn being great, and that he could win with him wherever he coached.

He simply says that Cassel is set to have a solid year with the pieces surrounding him.

Read between the lines.

Quinn is talented.
Cassel is limited.

Big baby? I even say he's really not talking up either guys but rather himself, you didn't even have to read between the lines there, but then I've come to realize reading comprehension, especially past the first few words, let alone the whole first sentence is in short supply on here.

So would I in hindsight, although I wasn't sure who really deserved credit at the time. Cassel's good month in 2010 made the offense look like the one Haley ran in Arizona (with Bowe turning those crossing routes into big plays like Fitz and Boldin did). I likewise did not know who was in charge of the RB rotation, but probably should have guessed after 2009.

I take significant issue with him saying Quinn is great, and the writer says that Weis expressed he has "too much affinity" for Cassel, enough that he wouldn't push Quinn over him. This after him talking up Quinn's numbers and how he could win anywhere with him. He didn't do the usual "Matt's a great kid and hard worker" bit that others do where you can tell they're not saying anything positive about his play. But again, really, Weis was stroking his own ego more than anything there.

Really who cares, Weis is gone, Haley's gone, and hopefully both Quinn and Cassel are gone fairly soon too (or are at least relegated to backup status).
