It might be the only consolation prize that we are seeing him without weapons and also probably good for him to play in these situations for his own growth. I love the guy but this roster is and will change over the next two years. How will Brock respond.
I would love for him to be the guy for the next decade plus but I also am concerned that we might not be seeing the full picture. I don't think that makes us flip flopping or what not. But I would love to see him without all rosey glasses.
In the past 5 years, I think Joe Burrow might be the only QB that has come into the league that has had more sustained success than Brock. Maybe Herbert too. Yet, plenty of other QBs aside from those two have already gotten extensions and commitments from their teams. Trevor Lawrence got a $275M extension and has been markedly worse than Brock.
Every QB has bad games/stretches, but what I have seen from Brock makes me more than comfortable paying him. He has what it takes between the ears. He might not have the rifle arm, but he is plenty good enough to lead this team.
