Then your opinion is factually incorrect.
A) he has not had viable alternatives
B) he would get shitcanned by Pioli

Although I can see how constant wildcat formations could improve the offense. [/sarcasm]

You think Stanzi would do worse than Cassel? I mean... I know throwing 5 yard slants is a lot to ask, but...

I am about as big of a "cassel-hater" as you can find, but I still can't answer that. I don't have enough information. The head coach might. Hell, he might even agree with you but be unable to pull Cassel due to pressure from Pioli.

The only way Pioli would fire Haley for switching QB's is if it completely ****ing flopped and blew the Chiefs chances of making the playoffs.

That is speculative on your part. Pioli may have a development plan for Stanzi, or just not want to see 12MM (or whatever Cassel's stupid salary is) sitting on the bench. Further, it is possible that Cassel still gives us a better chance to win than Stanzi. It wouldn't actually surprise me that much.

It's not speculative at all. No GM is going to fire someone for making a move to try and better the team. If he does then I say GL trying to get that respectable HC you want to come in and coach someone elses team.

Pioli isn't the one writing the checks, btw.

Good point. True that.

I know Pioli thought Cassel was the answer for this team when he traded for him. But god damn he sees the same games we do plus a lot more of his bullshit at practice and on tape. He has to have figured it out by now he is not the answer. I just hope he can do some magic this off season. Remember when we traded for him, how bad McDanials wanted him.So they both saw something in NE they liked. I don't know what. We sure as shit haven't seen it here. I don't know if Stanzi is quite NFL ready. But I sure would like to see his ass at least activated for games. I was somewhat impressed with him in preseason. Who the fuck knows.

I am convinced Cassel in practice looks like an ace, but can't hold up in the tempo and pressure of a game.

This is true. But he has to see the tape over and over of how he can't handle it. Everyone says it's his ego with Cassel. Bullshit. He wants to win. This is his first GM job and wants to hold on to it. I have faith in him. For now.

Oh I agree with you. I suspect Cassel was either a stop-gap OR a "stab-at-a-franchise-qb" which got turned into a stop-gap. He probably hadn't found another QB which he thought was franchise QB material. Frankly, he was probably right.

Cassel is the anti-tebow. Good in practice, bad in games.

So basically, hes the anti-christ.
