It's a fact Drew's arm has been in decline overall. The offense showed it and defenses capitalized.

We need a new QB who can challenge a defense with more than "accuracy"...

It has been a couple of seasons since we challenged with passing accuracy brother.

I'm aware. I'm guilty of not opening my eyes to it earlier, though. Or at least not admitting to it... Look, I love Drew and what he's done for the team as well as the region in general so it's hard to imagine him not being our leader.

But.... it's evident his time has come to an end.

Nearly all of us love what Drew has done. It does not matter what he did yesterday, his body of work validates the pedestal we put him on.

In some instances guilt makes us believe that evolving equates to tossing aside and that isn't the case. Because there isn't just one discussion but rather two simultaneously; trying to debate if he should be done, and who the next person is... because of this, I believe that his retirement will be healthy for the fan base.

Its unrealistic to become permanently attached to a player and winning at the same time... One or the other will inevitably deteriorate.
