Weis put in glowing recommendations for Clausen and backed out of orchestrating his pro day because it was a conflict of interest. Couple that with the rumor from a credible insider that he didn/t like Cassel. Where there's smoke there's fire. I think it was pretty obvious he wanted Clausen.

Romeo said multiple times in the offseason he wanted competition at QB. He always spoke very highly of Orton. It's not hard to connect the dots here.

Romeo Crennel then designed an offense a few games ago where they took the QB completely out of the game. What does that say about his confidence in the QB?

Haley wanted Hasselbeck, as claimed by Kevin Harlan, a credible source.

Haley's dad didn't want Cassel.

Add in that Babb said directly that Pioli micromanaged roster decisions.

It's pretty clear Pioli has dictated the choice at QB against the will of his head coaches.
