Its decision time for Loomis and Payton.
Keeping Drew might cost crucial young players that are essential to our future. We cannot mortgage the future based on what ifs and maybes.
Keeping Drew can hurt us in another way as well. Even if we did have a " good year " , anything short of winning it all is going to hurt badly and resulting poor draft positioning for next year.
So we could potentially find ourselves , out of key players who we couldnt afford to pay to keep Drew one more year , and with horrible draft positioning next year with Drew in my opinion definitely retiring at next seasons end.
I think theres a win for our franchise , that ensures we get our guy under center for the next decade or more to come without us having to lose key players.
It is better to let go a year early than a year too late.
Extend either Taysom Hill or Teddy Bridgewater, they will be our new Starter. Now either they prove to be Studs as starters and Taysom is Steve Young or Teddy B is legit or we suck. Yay !
Why is this good news ? Because , just as excited as everyone is about Joe Burrow this year , Everyone will be more excited about Trevor Lawrence next year. Trevor's shown more consistent play in multiple seasons.
Having a bad year at the right time could net us a franchise QB to go with our young vibrant budding team.
If we have the chops to believe we could get Burrow 20 something picks away this year , we could definitely grab Lawrence next year much closer.
And that's if things go badly !
Taysom or Teddy could prove to be Studs at the controls full time.
In any event we get our answers, and we get our QB guaranteed. If we get greedy today , we may lose out on everything tomorrow.
Goodbyes are never fun.
