Very similar to want happened after the SD game in 2008, he was so disgusted he decided to clean house.

We'll have to see about that. I was pretty shocked we didn't take a QB and would have loved to have taken even a project like Lefevour. And frankly, I would have preferred trading up for Clausen instead of Arenas. But just like the Chiefs didn't add a Nose Tackle or Linebackers, that doesn't mean they don't think it's important. I doubt Pioli would build in a 3rd year out clause if he was deadset on Cassel as a long-term option and I haven't seen a lot of evidence in New England that suggests that the Pats will hold onto players who underperformed their contracts.
We'll see. I hope Weis adds a strong opinion. I hope Cassel improves and I hope, if he doesn't, the front office will find a plan B. But I do think this is a decision that could potentially set the franchise backward 2-3 years.
