Haley thinks Cassel's problem was the players around him

So your analysis is worthless, but you got to crack out another insult to someone who got it more accurately than you did. 50/50 post for you. Congrats!

No dumbass, I didn't ignore a thing.

First, Cassel is not a scrambling QB.
He has some good mobility, but he isn't a scrambler.

And the fact is, scrambling QBs scramble of necessity, not simply because they can.

The best scrambler ever, Fran Tarkenton, was first and foremost, a playmaker in the pocket.

The same can be said for Roger Staubach.

As it can for many others.

And the fact remains, there was a pocket to remain in far more than you give this team credit for.

Did he face pressure often?

Yes.

But not nearly to the extent that you are trying to sell.

Sell your bullshit, Pioli/Cassel ball washing elswhere.

I ain't buying it.
