The Cassel experiment should have ended last season....we should have signed Orton as a stop gap until we had enough ammo to possibly trade up for a 1st rd pick next seasons draft like Geno or Wilson.
That's the ideal situation that many of us would rather have.
But the cards didn't fall that way. Pioli purposely (regardless if he says it or not) signed Quinn to force Crennel's hand in naming Cassel the starter...I get that, but don't agree w/ it....but as bad as Cassel has played you HAVE to bench the guy. Leaving him out to rot is going to continue this downward spiral, the same kind of spiral that's making Bowe and Colquitt (probably others) want to leave this organization. To be honest, Quinn has much more God given talent at the QB position, he's a much better passer IMO.
But it gets to a point where the whole team's morale and chemistry hits rock bottom because your alleged "leader" is shitting his pants on a monumental level, driving the god damn short bus to Hell. You can see it in the team's play. You saw it last season when the team had more "bounce" in their step whenever Orton took over.
