5-6 years?

The problem with QBs whose career takes off later in thier careers is that they give you a short window before you have to go out and replace them.
Teams that consistently stay at or near the top of the heap have more stability at QB.
To get that kind of long term stability you have to either find it in the draft or find guys like Brett Favre or Matt Hasselback, guys with only one or two years in the league as backups.
Guys like Matt Cassel are better options for teams further along.
Building a team around a 27 year old career backup is a bad plan.
By the time this team is ready to compete, he'll be 30 and might allow this team to compete for 5-6 years, assuming that he is what Pioli thinks he is, and he doesn't have his confidenc destroyed or his body broken by then.

I just hope we can get to see him reach potential. Nobody knows what that is.
