giving Drew such a huge contract? We all know Drew isn't the "savior" some made him out to be, but in TD's defense he's not really as bad as he's played lately, he did have some success in NE and we were desperate for a QB after the RJ/Flutie fiasco.
Still, IMO Drew never did anything to warrant $13 MILLION a year, which is what it will cost to keep him next season. Is anyone in the league worth that much?
Now we're stuck- there's three possible scenarios:
1. Pay $13 million to a QB who obviously doesn't deserve that much
2. Cut Drew and start from scratch with a new QB, which means either an overpriced veteran like Brunell or an unproven young guy like Volek
3. Convince Drew to restructure his contract for far less (easier said than done). This will probably save the Bills some money but still result in Bledsoe being paid more than he's worth.
Personally I don't like any of these options. I'd like to see Drew get one more shot with a decent O line and an OC with some brains, but not for that much money. Six months ago TD seemed like a genious- now it's starting to look like he should be demoted to concession stand manager, although he'd probably spend too much on Pepsi and be forced to re-use paper cups to protect it.
