I think it's great that we get to see Brock for another whole year before making that decision, we will learn a lot this year - specifically consistency and what kind of improvements he makes.
im very optimistic about him but who knows. I tend to believe that an actual off season for him will help a lot.
I was speaking more from a negotiating perspective. The 49ers aren't just going to give him a top deal because it's a thing to do (though Jed should keep his mouth closed).
I personally think it's likely that Cousins, and even Goff, are viewed as better QBs in a current free agent market. I don't agree, especially about Goff. Whether that's true or not, another year is going to work to answer that question.
I can see that with Goff and cousins because they're more "known" prospects. You know what you're getting with them, Brock is still young and relatively inexperienced. Couple that with "shanahans system" and it's easy to throw doubt on his ability. I don't believe that either, but I don't think it's far fetched either.
