Same reason why Purdy will be signed in SF. Does it mean that they value him as high as the fanbase in SF do....or the HC, GM?

NFL is a business - especially when it comes to QB play. It's not as easy saying well lets just pay him because we think hes REALLY good or REALLY bad. Or his production is mid or whatnot.

Besides QB production there is alot of others factors that get talked about in "closed doors" when it comes to resigning a QB that we as fans dont consider or think about. 

They probably thought that they had a very good roster around Trevor and they thought he could be "good enough" to play at a high level under this roster. Again think of Purdy with the 9ers. 

They couldn't just let him walk away because he still shows flashes and is young, and they didn't feel too confident walking into the draft and replacing him. Thats just speculations ofcourse. 

My stance on Trevor has always been and always will be that if we have a healthy roster think of 2017 roster than Trevor would thrive and fit in. But he’s not one who can lift a team by himself with any extraordinary skill or talent, in my opinion. 

He falls in the same catg as guys like Baker, Darnold, Cousins, Purdy. 

He is not Burrow, Herbert, Allen, Lamar, Mahomes.

There's 5 that can do it. 

So as a HC and GM, what now? You just dont let them walk away.... you sign them and wish you have a legit roster to compete and Baalke and Doug failed to provide Trevor with elite talent to succeed.

The guys you say he is not are playing with much superior offensive lines. (see below)  The Jag line began the season at the bottom. After 4 or 5 games they have been steadily improving but are still in the lower third of the league. Heck our running backs have to make a guy miss while in the backfield on most runs.

Herbert(13th), Allen(5th), Lamar(11th), Mahomes(8th).

Baker(4th), Darnold(9th), Cousins(14th), Purdy(12th).
