I haven't read anything that explicitly states that "Haley liked Cassel". What I have read is that Weis threw his hands up on Cassel, so Haley took over the job of developing Cassel. Then, when Cassel improved, Weis got the credit which irritated Haley. Haley admires and respects his father. I highly doubt that he would "like" Cassel as a player when his father called him trash on sticks. I would also like to mention that the WR position isn't all about yards. Bowe's downfield blocking improved dramatically after Haley came along. In fact, it's one of the demonstrable reasons why some of JC's runs were so lengthy. To me, it's beginning to look as though Dr. Evil has a "my way or the highway" philosophy that prevents him from seeing his own mistakes ... which, in turn, prevents him from correcting them. Haley embarrassed Clark on the national tubewaves which is probably why he's gone. I don't think our core problems left with him, though. FAX |

I was just reporting what I had heard on here. I'm starting to get the feeling that 1 of 2 things is gonna happen. Either a. Pioli brings Cassel back, which will lead to fail and he will likely be fired or. b. Pioli gets someone else to play quarterback with all the bad juju flying around it's gonna be hard to get fans in that stadium. |

Except Robinson never said any of that. As you said, FAX, the story was that Haley and Weis disagreed on how to develop Cassel and Haley took over those duties. Robinson never said that Haley loved Cassel. Likewise, he never said that Weis didn't like Cassel, and he specifically clarified that in subsequent tweets. He pointed out that if Weis didn't like Cassel then he wouldn't have come here and/or the team wouldn't have hired him. |

Well if we are using all these stories as somebody "said something" than somebody did say this. A few months ago it was said that Weis didn't like Cassel and Haley did. Who knows if that is true or this is true or if either is, but on those grounds it was said. |

Hold on just a minute pal! Are you trying to tell me that CP takes small snipits of information and twists them to fit their own beliefs then use that twisted snipit as undesputable fact that they were correct and everyone else is a moron? Are you trying to say that the good poster here on CP don't actually know what is really going on behind closed doors at 1 Arrowhead Drive even after all of their diligent tweet reading and internet surfing? I'm not buying that for a second, not one bit. |

Charles Robinson said Weis wanted to use Cassel differently than Haley and ultimately gave up and told Haley to take care of it. Haley was thus (reportedly) responsible for the run-first, completely unbalanced offense that gave Matt Cassel his one and only trip to the Pro Bowl. |

Honestly this is the make or break year for Pioli at the QB position. I will give him the benefit of the doubt before that. Because in
Year 1: He realized we needed a QB and traded for one (Cassel) who showed the potential to be a legit QB. Plus there were no sure fire QB's in the draft. Year 2: Realizing that some of Cassel's struggles could have been the result of crap talent around him, Pioli gives Cassel more talent around him and Weis. Year 3: No need to address the QB situation because Cassel is coming off a Pro Bowl season. Now Cassel has proven that he is not the solution at QB and it obvious to virtually everyone. There are studs out there for the taking. If Pioli is unwilling to address the QB position in the 1st, then his job should be tied to Cassel. For that to happen though the fans need to make their voices heard by not going to the games. Sadly what will happen is the fans will still show up because there are many outside of the message board realm that still believe in Pioli and Cassel. They will blindly support this team regardless. This team will win enough to keep the seats filled and thusly maintain the status quo. The fan base is so conditioned to mediocrity that a 9-7 season and a playoff berth is considered a success. We came close to a winning record and playoff berth this year with all of our injuries and brutal schedule. It will be much easier next year when they come back and an easier schedule. |

However, when the need arises, I hire experts who know more than I do about their given specialty area. A lot of people do that sort of thing. Given that expertise has a purpose, is it too much to assume that NFL talent evaluators ... especially ones who have received numerous Executive Of The Year Awards ... should possess the capability to assess a quarterback's abilities without the benefit of observing three years of bone-headed decisions and screw-ups?
