he had already won a mvp and was in negotiations with the team the entire time.  A bit different.  Danny dimes would be a closer comp but he just played on his 4rth and the team stupidly gave him a massive deal.  You are who you are by year 3.

I know. But the reference was that Lamar is the only one who played out his entire 5th year. People talk like Bryce will too just because we throw it out there when the reality is, he most likely won't. QBs want those extensions and the huge payday that comes with them.

thats the point, they arent drafting a guy if they pick up the 5th

It's possible they do this as a hedge(pick up the 5th and sign/draft someone). I think that is highly unlikely. That would be a completely schizophrenic message.

are you agreeing with me or is that aimed at me lol

I could see either way as there are not a lot of examples of teams simply picking up the 5th to buy time to see if said player improves in year 4

You and I are on the same page.

Bryce is as likely to get a huge pay day as much as I am. There’s one option for him to stay in the league and it’s whether Carolina offers.

If you step back and look at the big picture, picking up his option is the thing to do.  Free agency?  Nope.  Draft?  I even have questions about Ty Simpson, the third overall qb in this draft. I do, however, believe there are some beaten-down stock and hidden gems at QB in this draft--if you develop them for a year.

For example, Mateer has an impressive skill set--he simply needs some time watching film and working with a QB coach.  Klubnik has the dual threat ability and pocket presence to be effective.

Allar, Beck, Chambliss, etc. could be developmental sleepers. 

I know, some will claim to know that they "suck," but what did you say about Purdy?  Slough?  You never know.  

Without other options, it is the thing to do.

Exactly, "we love you bryce and want you here 2 more years at least nevermind we might have just drafted your replacement"

 

If a girl breaking up with him sends by into a tailspin I cannot imagine him actually have to fight for his job for once

He looks like a middle school kid who can't lift his bookbag.  I hope he balls out.

The big picture being he's proven over 3 years that he isn't an NFL QB - so lets run it back and commit ourselves to paying him $26m in year 5?!

IMO, if we add no FA nor legit draft options(not a UDFA) to this QB room in the offseason, 100% of all information about Tepper, Morgan and Canales will be clear.

That "braintrust" will have conclusively proven they have zero idea what the fug they are doing.

It will also prove who's really running this show.

We have ample options. All of free agency, some trade options and the entire draft. Make that two full cycles of that if we DON'T pick up the 5th year. 

If you are planning on moving on or even hedging your bet, that isn't a situation you pick up a 5th year option. The 5th year option is basically a cheap(usually) precursor to signing a guy that is gonna get a big contract. Well that is for sure not Bryce Young.

His UFA value would probably be in the neighborhood of $3-10 mil on a one year deal.

The option year is not usually viewed as a try-out year. The team at that point should feel comfortable enough to make a clear decision. It is more like an engagement period. 

Daniel Jones is an example of an option not being picked up, playing out his 4th year successfully, and then the Giants were a bit over a barrel in sending a qb on their way that got them into the playoffs, or working a deal out with the player. It's easy to make fun of them for signing Jones after saying no thanks after the 3rd year, but they were between a rock and a hard place at that point.
