I watched an interview with Doug on Chris Long’s podcast and he said something about Trevor that I feel like we all know but it stood out to me and nice to hear Doug say it out loud into the media. I’m paraphrasing but he mentions our 2nd year ascending QB already has a ‘wealth of NFL experience in just year 2’.

These are my thoughts & words now but he experienced being in one of the worst positions nearly any QB (much less a rookie) could be put in last season. Now in year 2 things have clicked and he is experiencing winning. He is playing in big games. He’s already experienced some pretty nice highs and some terrible lows. As terrible as last year was - a lot of what he experienced will ultimately be a positive for him as he progresses throughout his career IMO. Sometimes you need to experience those lows and situations that aren’t ideal so you know recognize the red flags when they appear. I don’t want to ever go through last szn again obviously and I don’t want Trevor to ever have to go through anything like that again. But when it’s all said and done after his first 2 seasons he really is going to be sitting there at age 23 with a ‘wealth of nfl experience’ already.

And how he handled last season and responded to it shows us what type of person and player we have as our franchise QB for a very long time.
