If Pioli was halfway objective about Matt Cassel, he would have obliged Haley on Hasselback and when Cassel went down in 2011 the difference between Palko and Hasselback would have been the difference between playoffs and a division title and what actually happened.
But Haley didn't go with the status quo in regards to Tyson Jackson and Matt Cassel, so he got undermined and ultimately fired.
Let me ask you guys a real question:
How much better would this team have been if we had re-signed Shaun Smith (who was loads better than Tyson Jackson) and had brought in Matt Hasselback?
I expect this post to be dodged.
