    Correct. He is not the problem. He is one of our problems. He is lower on the ladder of problems but not that low. Hell even if you like him and think we should keep him he’s about to need a new contract that will require big money. That in itself is a problem.

      Pick up his 5th year option, it’s not that much. That gives you 2 more years to develop and evaluate and 2 years to take your time finding a coach/OC you trust and building the team to an acceptable level for a rookie QB.

      IMO one of the biggest mistakes the Browns and Jets make is being in on the QB carousel every 1-3 years and investing too much draft capital there over the rest of the team.

      It starts at the top.

      GM has to be secure enough to take the 3-4 year approach. Coach has to be feel he’ll be fairly evaluated on his skills, not the W/L record with a bad team. Then you build the roster and bring in a QB when you have a team to support them.

        How does a team take their time finding a HC and OC over two years? That sounds like a disaster.
