Beyond that will depend on Campbell's development. If JC falters Hasselbeck takes over in 2010. If JC is worthy of a new contract and is the clear answer for the long term, we cut Hasselbeck to let him try to start elsewhere.

Mentor for JC? Sorry Matty, but I think JC has been around long enough not to need a mentor. And if he does still need a mentor after being a starter for 2 full seasons, then you have to ask the question is JC a bona fide starting QB? To me, if JC flounders or does not show progression in '09 his butt is gone. Statwise, with the exception of the TD/INT ratio, he is just above Gus Frerotte level, and unfortuantely as much as I liked Gus back in the day, he never really made a progression either.
