But he does have the tools to be a top-half NFL quarterback if he is developed properly. One season is not enough time to take him down to the dumpster.

You must be trolling us all. There is no way you believe this stuff.

You think he was brought in to be a savior? He was paid $18 million to takeover a playoff team who had just suffered through Brian Hoyer. There was no expectation on him. I remember countless people posting preseason "He can't be worse than what we had last year." It was the cushiest starting gig ever. Throw to a 1500 yard WR who made Brandon Weeden and TJ Yates look good, and score 20 PPG and win the easiest division in football. And he managed to ruin a WR the worst QBs in football couldn't ruin. He managed to lose a job that his contract guaranteed him. And he managed to be the worst of the 8 QBs we have had start a game in the past 3 years. And you want to say he hasn't gotten enough time yet? You want to say he can be a top half QB? You're going deep into the bizarre here Bob. He's just a bad player and a worse signing.
