Cassel is a minor issue in my opinion of Pioli.
The real problem is, we thought we hired Da Vinci, and he keeps giving us Crayola paint-by-numbers replicas of the Mona Lisa to hang in the gallery. Pioli doesn't know how to build a football team, he's just a guy that's seen it done. He hasn't taken what he's learned and tried to apply that knowledge to the curves he faces in his new situation. Instead, he's taken an inflexible straight line, regardless of where that takes the team. He's failed in nearly every major decision he's made in KC. There are almost zero great GM moves, a lump of mediocre moves, and a crushing avalanche of terrible moves. Pioli is a fraud.

Pioli drafts all of these supposed high character players, yet there are no team leaders and they've been blown out of so many games the last few years it isn't funny. Where is the pride and leadership?

Pioli needs to take lessons from Mike Shanahan, without a franchise QB everything else is futile. By mid-season last year it was obvious Cassel was the wrong guy. Quinn should have been the starter the day he arrived.

If Pioli had learned a lesson Quinn wouldn't have been the one to arrive in the first place.

Yeah, but Shanarat also burned through guys like Griese, Jake the Snake, Grossman, and John Beck. Cutler and RG3 happened after he wasted time on those guys...

His biggest downfall is not hiring a legit HC in two tries. You can argue that no "great" QB fell into his lap or was available for drafting, but he had plenty of real good coaching candidates available that would have provided this team with leadership and direction and probably the guts to bench Cassel when needed, and he didn't go out and get one either time...

Brian Griese was an attempt at drafting a franchise QB.
The Broncos didn't have the ammo to get a QB with a high pick at the time. Shanny > Belichick, and his record against that fraud is proof.

Key to your post is in bold. did any of those guys start 4 years for Denver? Maybe Plummer?

I don't know if trying is enough. You can argue he tried with Cassel and failed. If he tries with Landry Jones in the upcoming draft for example, I don't think many people will find that acceptable...

Shanny's record has shown that like Belichick, his success has come only when having an elite QB.

Shanahan's 5-4 vs. Belichick. You need to slow down there a bit trigger. Running around like a crazy person in every thread proclaiming Belichick a huge fraud is not intelligent. He is certainly one of the elite coaches in football.

Pioli not addressing the back up option better than he did in the off season was a major failure on his part. He gift wrapped Cassel as his starter since Manning rejected a visit to him. Cassel was his boy all the way, he wanted to look like a saint with Cassel and RC went along for the ride with him.
RC was all over wanting RG3, Manning, anybody but Cassel and yet Pioli drove the bus right off the cliff and brought in Brady Quinn. Now if Quinn lights it up, he can take credit for that too. Stanzi has not had a chance to play, BTA he hasn't shown enough to beat out anybody. Tanney is on IR, but a long shot to even make camp next year with Cassel & or Quinn gone. Not addressing the QB issue is his failure. |
