Scott Mitchell‘s best season with the Detroit Lions came in 1995 when he helped lead the team to a 10-6 record.
Unfortunately, Mitchell and those Lions’ teams of the mid-1990s were never able to win a playoff game but he believes that would have happened had than band stayed together longer.
In fact, Mitchell recently joined the “Breaking Bread with Herman and Lomas” show and he says he believes they could have won a Super Bowl had the team been allowed to stay together for a longer period of time.
“We were a really good football team,” Mitchell said. “One of the frustrations in my life is: I wish they would’ve given us more time. Look, winning a Super Bowl and being effective in the playoffs, that’s a hard thing to do. I mean, Tom Brady makes it look easy. But, Peyton Manning went five, five or six years before he ever won in the playoffs, and I just wish they would have kept that group together longer to really give us a chance because I think we could’ve done it. I really do. And I’ll say that until the day that I die.”
Nation, do you agree with Mitchell?
