What I am upset about is the near certainty that the reason that Orton signed with the Cowboys because he was told that Matt Cassel was the unquestioned starter and that he would only be signed to compete with Stanzi for the backup position. That is the failing. Cassel is the unquestioned starter.

Is, or was?
Pioli's next move is to throw Cassel under the bus IMO.

Didn't Pioli make a comment about Orton signing a really nice deal in Dallas? I got the impression from Pioli that it was a money issue.

I don't think his contract was all that substantial. I think it came down to which team he'd rather stand on the sidelines for. I don't think he ever wanted to be in KC, unless he had the clear chance to start.

I didn't want Cassel to begin with. I thought they should hold onto Thigpen (especially if we had kept Gailey) and draft Sanchez. Sit Sanchez for the year while putting some pieces on the team for 2010. We could have used that 2nd round pick to pick up Max Unger, Patrick Chung, Conner Barwin or Rey Malaluga, all of which would have helped the team more than Tyson Jackson does.
There is no way to tell if Sanchez would have turned out better with sitting for a year but we wouldn't be any worse off than we are now. |
