Good. Make him earn it on the field. He needs to be considerably better than he's been to even consider it. If he isn't, then his 5th year option needs to be spent fighting for his job against the QB we take in the top 10 next April.

I generally felt even our decision makers weren't foolish enough to actually do this. That would end up being an all time blunder that would follow everyone in the front office for the rest of their careers.

However we stil can't put it past them to jump the gun and begin negotiations late in the year if he has a couple of really good games while looking serviceable at best in others while the rest of the roster carries him. The concern remains that in their eyes "deserving" a contract extension means just not looking outright terrible.
