I was pessimistic about Trevor for a lot of the middle of the season. But the most I was ever willing to say was, "He will play out his rookie contract. Hopefully he becomes great before the contract is up, but if not, we try again." A lot of us said that after the Denver game.

But CJB said we should draft a new QB next year. That's bonkers and it will always be bonkers, even if Trevor regresses again. It's not as if we've got this window where we have great players at other positions and just need a QB. We have mediocre players at other positions, and we needed to, and still need to, see if Trevor becomes that guy that makes them all look better than they are. Turns out Trevor is that guy. But even if he wasn't we would keep him thru 2023.
