I really hope he doesn't come back. He might have been injured, and he will be if he plays again. Drew will never be healthy for the last 10 games of the season. If I ranked QBs he'd be in the 15-20 range of current QBs.

Yes, Drew would start hot and look good, like he does most seasons. However, for the games that matter most he'll start falling apart. Can't throw the long ball, and towards the end of the season he couldn't throw accurately at all.

I hope I don't have to keep ragging on Drew, but it'll be another season to damage his legacy if he returns.

I am ready for Winston.... (Two years ago I would have thrown up at the thought)
Not necessarily - timing of the announcement may just be about Loomis' wiggling room with the cap as Feb 23rd is approaching and we'll see if Loomis designates anyone with the franchise tag...

Once we're into the new NFL calendar year, Mar 15 I believe, we'll probably have a more formal announcement with a post Jun 1 retirement designation...

Plus, I seriously doubt Drew would play for $1MIL/season - his current contractual number...

Wrong, it’s Drew who will be carrying his ass elsewhere.

As for him being a top 10 Qb if he comes back as some here have stated, I agree. For a hand full of games at least. His body can’t take it anymore and it’s obvious to anyone whose been watching the past few years. If I knew he could stay healthy hell yea I’d want him back but that’s not reality.
I’m on the Winston train now. Giving him a year while we figure out what to do about the future can’t hurt. There’s really not body else out there that makes sense ATM.
Even the local media agrees its best for the team if he retires.

This is why I want him to come back. I know Im in the minority but I think he gives us the best chance.

I don't mind if Drew comes back. As long as he can throw the rock. Better than last year at least. If not....we need to see what Taysom has.

I simply disagree.

You know what? I really don't know if I agree with me or not.

I don't know what I would want at this point.

Dude! How can you talk about Drew like that? He is a good humanitarian and has been our savior bringing us a Lombardi! I guess that you're one of the "what have you done for me lately" types. He has been the face of the franchise for over 15 years and has personally carried the team on his back until recently.

I hope that you don't disrespect everyone in your past who no longer makes your life better. Damn Son! That's just mean.

Or maybe because he's 42? All the great ones will decline.

Deion, Rice, Ewing, MJordan … father time remains undefeated.

It's time.

Is everyone ignoring the fact that he was dealing with a rotator cuff injury through at least most of the season? You can be 24 years old and "not have it" under those circumstances.
