I'm sure many people agree with me. Including most NFL coaches, Cutler top 10 pick. Cassell who knows where and even after his break out season only worth a 2nd round pick. McDaniels only prefers Cassell because A) he's an idiot B) he has coached him previously. If he was/is that in love with Cassell then he should offer Cutler to Kansas City for Cassell.
Your either extremely high on Cassell or extremely down on Cutler. I'm sure you'll change your mind if, as some rumours suggest, the Bears are interested in Cutler.

Big IF though.
They will need the number one pick to get Stafford. Will Detroit go for Cassell and give that up. Will they want the number one pick with all the financial implications. I doubt it.
Sanchez is unproven and Freeman has split opinions on him.
If they get one of those three can they be expected to play straight away. Ideally you want them to sit for a few seasons ala Rodgers to get up to NFL speed. You don't want a Joey Harrington/David Carr situation where they are beaten up/ not up to it and then bottle it.
Even if they are expected to play straight away then they still need to learn the system.
Realistically it will be one full season until they are upto speed with the system and the NFL.
5 years may be excessive, more likely 3 years until they are playing consistently at the same level as Cutler.
Cutler is higher in virtually all statistics than Cassell was last year.
