But let's be honest here - if Wilson had come here, Pioli wouldn't have given a chance to rattle the confidence of Pro Bowler Matt Cassel. Wilson would have been our #3 QB, if not buried on the practice squad for that very reason.

Wilson got the start his rookie year over a FA veteran who hadn't proven shit like Cassel. I agree that Pioli would likely have buried him on the depth chart for his Patriot Way bullshit but Tyler Palko and Brady Quinn ended up starting at one point or another. It would have been so awesome to have Russ waiting in the wings in those days.
