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.

My point is, if you have a competent head coach, you don't get beat 89-10, regardless of injuries.

Most of those points were scored off turnovers. Haley made Cassel throw INTs?

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.

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.

Chan Gailey was forced on Haley as was Weis after him. So was Romeo Crennel, too. I know you know this, Clancy was never hired as the DC he was hired as a defensive assistant that didnt get a title until Romeo turned down the job in 2009. Couple that with being handcuffed to Cassel and a worthless draft... you absolutely have to dish out some of the blame for that years failure on Haley for not working things out with Gailey (which at the time I saw as a huge mistake and as it turns out, it probably was) I think what Haley has done in keeping this team together and his motivational tools is pretty impressive. |

I am torn on Haley. I think that keeping the team together after their horrible first two games is impressive.
I don't care how bad Minnesota and Indy are, they are NFL teams. And, Minnesota had no trouble with Arizona. Minnesota also built pretty sizeable leads against every team except the Chiefs.... they just couldn't finish. Indy played poorly with an 'over the hill', I don't know the playbook, Collins. But, after he was injured/benched.... Painter has played well and the Colts have really hung in there. They got to within 3 of the Steelers after Painter came in.... and they had the lead on the Bucs for most of the MNF game last week. Oh, and the Chiefs hung in there against the Chargers. Yeah, the first two weeks sucked..... but those two teams are pretty good and the Chiefs just weren't ready. Oh, and they lost one of their best players on both sides of the ball. I am okay with the Chiefs getting a new head coach.... I am just not sold on Haley. But, I am also okay with him sticking for another year or two to see how things develop.
