Its not like we are going to have to pay the guy for the next 4 years. They can cut him anytime they want after the contract is signed if he loses too much. It will most likely be a front loaded contract anyway so the cap hit probably wont be to bad if they do cut him.
There just isnt a better option in the league right now or coming out of college in the next year or two. Hes got two more years at a high level. We need to ride that train as long as we can. We get rid of him too early and it will be years before we are contenders again.
New QBs come with new schemes, new protection, and a different pace. It is rarely a plug and play when it comes to QB. Unless they are elite.

You cant blame him for trying to get the best contract for himself. This is his last go round and he knows it. Yea we see him making so many millions a year but we dont know what his financial situation he is. For all we know his Jimmy Johns venture is putting him in the hole a couple million a year. I dont care if you make 100 million a year, if your losses in other business ventures are 99,999,999 you arent making squat.

I realize the Bernie Sanders mindset is appealing but you cant blame a guy for trying to make as much money as he can. Agents make you sick because they try to get every dollar they can?? Thats their freaking job. I wonder how many of you would tell your boss you dont want a raise "because its best for the company" when your time comes.
