That's just dumb. They had plenty of other opportunities to bring in challengers. I'm sure Pioli would argue that guys like Orton and Campbell are also at best nice backups, which may be true. But come on, you have to try and have some options there, not say we have three QBs on the roster in Quinn and Stanzi who we believe can start in this league, like you said in the offseason, and now spin it like you have no options. With all your cap room, with the ability to trade up for Tannehill based on what the Cowboys did, you absolutely had options, and you passed...

Tannehill is 4th round talent and there were other QB's that could've been taken without trading your draft away. Hey look, we have one on the roster already that hasn't been given a chance to play yet... |

Pioli is the worst of Carl condensed into a neat 50-game package.

In his best season, Cassel's 400-yard game was all garbage time. Ryan Tannehill is a rookie and already has a legit 400-yard game.

We can bump this thread in a few years and see who was right about Tannehill.

But Manning wanted NO PART OF FAT SCOTT! Can't really blame him for that.

This!
As I understand it, Peyton said be something to the effect of "My salary negotiations start no lower than this $$$ amount, if that is not your cup of tea then don't bother" At which point we promptly turned around and said no thank you. Which is odd considering how much we still have in cap room. |

Is this Pioli going down the road to throwing Romeo under the bus to save himself, same as he did Haley? (Not that Romeo has done a good job or anything) |

He doesn't believe in real competition. He thinks you need to have one entrenched starter that nobody questions
