Don't even need to go into the coaching staffs do we?

You're wrong and will always be wrong. You'll likely disappear during this coming season just like JaguarLVP did last season when Lawrence continues to cement himself as a top QB in this league.

Sorry that all you can see are half told numbers and don't actually know what you're looking at when watching the gameplay and situations. That's a you problem.

But you're still missing the entire point on the conversation.


Let's not forget the real comparision here, Josh Allen. He got paid after year 3, he was bad first year, OK his second year and then blossomed in his 3rd year (with the addition of Diggs)

This is LIKELY the path Trevor takes with the addition of Ridley. 

In the scenario that he becomes that kind of QB through year 3, we can rest easy when he gets his big contract.


My argument is with those who are on this thread saying they'd feel comfortable giving him a Herbert contract RIGHT NOW (i'm not stupid, I know we can't technically give him one right now) but that dosen't detract from the argument. 

However, if he comes out this season with 2 years under his belt and his stats line up with the stats he had last year then no, he does not deserve to be the highest paid player in NFL history.

Does that make more sense?
