Train wreck? It's not this bad. WTF? Some of you don't even watch the games.

Pioli's job is to field the best team with a chance to win the Super Bowl. That is priority one. The second priority is to fill the stands and create a dynamic team the fans can be proud of and will want to root for for many years to come. There is not a GM in this world that will pass up on Luck should they get the first pick. A QB of his status will complete both priorities. No way he passes up on Luck. It's patently stupid to do so.
Once you hit on the QB to lead your team for many years. You can then build the team of your dreams around that player. You can't do that by fielding a bunch of holes with good players. Great teams are led by great players. They are rare in the NFL. No way a GM passes on this opportunity. Pioli may have an ego and that ego is that he wants to run the ship the way he sees fit. It doesn't mean his ego is to pass up on HOF potential that will sell a great many tickets.
