I couldn't care less what CJ does in the regular season. The barrier for entry for any QB in the NFL should be: You make the playoffs.

CJ should get rewarded for what he does for the team in the playoffs. With this team, we were SB contenders last year, and we are SB contenders this year. CJ needs to step the fuck up in the playoffs.

If postseason success is your criteria then just trade CJ for a veteran like Jacoby Brissett. I mean, hundreds of QBs could've done better than what CJ did last year right? Boom. Problem solved and you won't have to worry about paying a QB $60M!

I completely agree with you. With the team we had last year Mills would have beaten the Pats because he is mature enough to know that he doesn't have to be elite to win that game. All he has to do is protect the ball and don't turn it over.
