A. We have him for the next 4 years regardless.  You can extend this out with the franchise tag and such for about another 4 years
B. I for one am not 100% sold he is worth the money. I am no blind homer and see there are some big holes in his game.  He is a good QB but not Great IMO.

Yeah that sends a great message to other draft choices and free agents they might want to try and sign.

Sends a great message. You want to get paid, prove it on the field. Josh Allen did and he got paid. Lawrence has not shown he is worth the pay day to date in many eyes.

He continues to be mediocre and not justify his contract while the team is in cap hell stuck with it.  I am not saying it will happen but it is hard to justify paying him $50 million a year right now. I do not care about the money value but do care how it effects the cap.  He has not sold me on being the franchise yet.  Clearly, he has sold you.  I think it is wise to let him prove he is worth the money.  Yes signing him now could save money but could also save a massive future headache if it does not work out.

For the people that know what to look for in a good QB, he’s sold them.

Might want to just buckle up for the big contract pal.

He's 24, played through literal hell in the last couple seasons and still has the team in position to win long term. People are fixated on the last six games instead of the tremendous improvement made in 2 seasons. Whatever it takes to hold on to this guy needs to be done, it's really hard to get one and I don't feel like waiting another decade for the next one to come around.

It’s Josh Allen all over again.

People fixated on his lack of sacks while not looking at the big picture.

Lawrence is going to explode (like Josh Allen) and it’s going to be glorious.

You got blind faith. I am a realist. Josh Allen proved it on the field. Lawrence has not yet. As I said before, good but not great. Some have him out of the top 10
