I'm not sure they look at his draft status at all. As a fan, we think that happens. I honestly don't feel it's happening here at all. He is the obvious best QB on the roster. If they can continue to develop him to where his poor performances would pretty much be the exception....then I can see why they want him. When he is on point, he makes amazing throws, even for a man his size. His ability to make plays off platform is fantastic.
I am with you, his poor performances are beyond frustrating.
He is so incredibly clutch, I still find myself astonished with what he does in the clutch. 2 TD'S off 4th downs is badges, regardless of the physical talent.
