My thoughts on that prior to the year were I wanted to see if he would buy into the new guys system or would he still be going sandlot all game long.
So far it seems like it's about 50/50 split. The fact that he rarely turns the ball over alone makes him an extremely valuable QB. But is that worth his price tag or should we be expecting more return on that coin?
You can't look at it like we would have an extra 25 million in cap space because you would have to fill the QB position too. Maybe you get a Andy Dalton type for somewhere between 10 and 15. So you've downgraded the QB position to free up 10 million. What upgrade are we gonna get for 10 million that is so significant that it not only overcomes the drop off at QB but adds significant value on top of that?
Let's say you traded him for a lockdown corner and #1. That lockdown corner comes with a hefty price tag and now you still need to pay a QB.
It just doesn't make sense to do it unless you are going to go full rebuild. Then you sell everyone and everything like the Fins did.
