He is getting this year I think most of us are just debating (hoping against) that the team doesnt do something stupid like extend him before the season starts. Which is why I have always said the 5th year option is stupid. He either becomes a top 10 qb or we let him walk.
I would say there are probably 10 elite qbs in this league that could win a SB
A) so what would you do in your first 2 scenarios? You want to pay him market rate?
B)No man, "a lot" of teams have not won with middle of the pack qb's. Well I guess it depends on your definition of "A Lot" but for the most part you need an elite qb at some point in the playoffs because the margins are simply too tight to rely on "Middle of the pack"
I am thinking from an analytical standpoint that if high (or low) miles are a correlation to wins or loses. One would think it has to factor in on some level I would guess
It may just be GM speak or whatever but how the fug dont you have an answer by now if he needs an ext. What is "discussing it internally" even doing? You are either going to give him one before the season starts or simply let it ride until the end of 26
