[QUOTE=saphojunkie;8580864]Let's count all the reasons Pioli sucks:



Pioli traded for Matt Cassel, yeah. And it was a great trade. We got Mike Vrabel, who was absolutely instrumental in our transition to the 3-4, and a starting quarterback for a second round pick.

Did Cassel have a pro bowl year? Where he threw 27 TD to 7 INT? Where he took us to the playoffs? Yes. Okay, then. I'll take that for a second round pick any time.

The fact that Cassel has proven, OVER TIME, to not be the answer at QB is in no way an indictment of Pioli. We didn't know he wasn't the answer! He sure as hell looked like it in 2010. But oh boy, now that we know, we sure are ready to put Pioli in the doghouse for bringing him in. Hindsight is 20/20, and you have lasers coming out of your eyes. Settle down.




I love how many times the Cassel apologists say he is a pro bowler and took us to the playoffs.

1- He was the 2nd alternate.The only reason he went to Hawaii is because Brady and I think Carson Palmer decided not to waste their time.

2- We got to the playoffs on the legs of Jamal Charles and the running game and the brain of Charlie Weiss. Not because of Matt Cassel.

3-The Cassel trade was not a good one.He is vastly overpaid for what he brings.He couldnt learn the verbage,cant read a defense and has a noodle arm.So yes Id rather have Cousins or Moore or anyone who actually played in college or high school.also,Vrable couldnt tackle a sack of peanuts.
