Very, very possible, throw Peppers into the equation.

Anyone remember Scott Mitchell...

Sure, he had a couple great seasons in Detroit - actually took them to the playoffs twice I believe. Why do you bring him up?

I think he had just one good season, if I remember correctly, after signing a massive contract as a free agent out of Miami. He had taken over for an injured Marino and had a big year but never really lived up to the hype anointed him after that.

Probably not the best analogy, just saying I wonder how good Cassel will really be.

Roger that. I was pretty sure that's what you were getting at. I acutally just looked him up on wiki... Set the Lions single season franchise record for TD passes and passing yards in 1995, then lost his starting job in 1998 at age 30 to rookie QB Charlie Batch.

Wouldn't that be a steep price for a backup QB that had one good season, and in this good season he has had a good offensive line, one of the best coaches in the league, an elite WR and a great slot receiver.
