I've mentioned this before, Mr. DeezNutz, but I'm not sure we're completely out of the quarterback market, yet.

When you put yourself in Pioli's shoes and try to think like he might (Not that he thinks with his shoes, or feet, or anything. He probably thinks with his brain like everybody else, although I suppose it is possible that he does possess some neurons and synapses in his lower extremities which might explain his extraordinary success at such a young age and the reason why he seems to frequently cross and uncross his legs during interviews.), he's probably looking at a guy in the later rounds.

He's already caught lightning in a bottle with Brady. Then, remarkably, Cassel comes in and performs admirably in Brady's place. He (Pioli, that is) may well believe that he has both the ability and the methodology to select a guy in the later rounds, save a ton of money, groom him up, and have him ready when the time is right.

A lot of peeps here seem to believe that Super Bowl caliber quarterbacks can only be had via high draft picks. Pioli may believe otherwise.
