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.

The debate lies on whether you see the flaws in his game as his own (traits like inaccuracy, crumbling under spotlight, or foolish throws) or if you see the flaws as circumstance (playcalls, blocking, drops/routes).

I think the majority here see his potential individually. He has the traits to be a franchise guy, even if he hasn't cemented his spot in the top-X QBs around the league. The question is truly whether he'll improve as circumstances improve. If we wait until he proves it, the cap number will skyrocket even more.

The GM is on the hook for the pick, as well as the work he's done to maximize Trevor's potential. At this stage, whether he negotiates the new deal today or a year from today, TB will stay or go based on whether the work he's done to make this team what it is proves successful or not. It's in his (and the team's) best interest to do the deal sooner than later.
