-Clark will demand a first round QB be taken in April. He thinks that if Pioli takes one, public opinion will improve and the fanbase will return. Doesn't think this is the fans v. Pioli but the fans v. the quarterback position.

-Clark will be more involved in the entire football operation moving forward.

Again, this guy has given me a lot of really great info, and also some things that haven't panned out, but he's been on more often than he's not.

I'll buy it, sounds about like what i expected.

But he's terribly underestimating the contempt for pioli.

Sadly, there are enough sheep that a franchise QB and a .500 season in 2013 are going to turn the sheep into believers again. And yes, a franchise QB can get you 6-8 wins even with an average head coach. All the more reason to continue to put pressure on the front office before they have a time to get this team to average. Average isn't good enough and some people are smart enough to see that.
