I've been as critical of anybody of Pioli not drafting a QB. I've openly said I thought Romeo and Daboll were moronic hires. I was Pioli's biggest critic for firing Haley and "Gumgate." I think Pioli is a solid GM whose arrogance has kept him from making the most crucial moves that would fix the franchise. I think it's comical that anyone who irrationally slams the Poe pick is an ass-kisser.
I'm pointing out some critical flaws that are extremely, extremely coachable. And I'm saying given his physical talents, it's worth seeing if changing those things change the player. It's no small deal that he plays with his pads low and is horrendous using his hands. You do realize that the Nose Tackle position is almost entirely about leverage and the ability to use your arms/hands to disengage blockers, right? You asked why he sucked and that's a very possible, strong explanation for it.

The problem is a disconnect.
You can not begin to grasp the argument about QB he presented as it relates to Poe.
