If Cassel doesn't come in here and become a Pro Bowl-caliber, playoff winning QB, Pioli will be "Carl Peterson II" for perpetuity.
Hell, there's ALREADY people making the comparison.

When I thought the Chiefs traded for Vrabel, I compared him to CP. However, I was ignorant of the situation.
Much like the people in here are ignorant for comparing CP to SP.
ONE FREAKING MOVE WILL NOT LINK SP TO CP IN THE AVERAGE FAN'S MIND.
How Scott Pioli is viewed will be based on his entire tenure as a GM for the Chiefs, not this one move.
Hey, I admit, I didn't like Sanchez and I didn't think Stafford was there. So, I think that this was the best that they could do this year. I am merely pleased that Cassel should solidify the position and allow the Chiefs to continue to draft and develop guys at the position and that they are not tied to Cassel.
I just think that the expecatations of a second round QB are much less than a top five QB.
