Weis not believing in Cassel confirms my thoughts last year while watching the games when it was obvious that Cassel was being babied by the play calling. Haley's thought process may have been that we have to see what we have in him otherwise he himself would be let go.
Given all the turmoil the team has went through this season I'm more mad at Pioli than Haley. There was never any reason to give that huge contract that early to Cassel. They could have done more to strengthen the offensive line also. signing Lilja was a mistake, letting Brian waters go was a mistake. The cupboards are bare besides some of the guys that were left behind from Herm era. Not to mention all the injuries.
I would have liked to see Haley call the offense permanently and develop a QB.
