For the record, Cassel struggled in last year's camp too.
I would be lying if I said it didn't concern me.... but I am not willing to panic just yet.
If Cassel is a bust, I will be more dissapointed in Pioli than anything else. Pioli was with this guy for a few years. I know that you can never 'know' how a guy will respond to a new situation, new contract, and being 'the' guy.... but the main reason I supported the move for Cassel was because Pioli and Johs McDaniels both really wanted the kid.
That spoke volumes to me. I will be dissapointed in Pioli if this kid doesn't work out.
