He will have to be God awful the last 6 games not to be back next year.
Getting a QB better than what he is doing through free agency won't happen.
Without a 2nd round pick, there is no way the organization will burn another first round pick on a QB who at best would be a marginal upgrade over Weeden. Taking another QB would mean that we didn't address any of the gaping defensive holes (secondary) with an impact player in the 1st round.
When you look at the entire picture it points to Weeden getting one more year next year as there just isn't a real good alternative to replace him with that could step in and give more production than they are getting from him.
I am still hopeful that whoever the next coach is will play more to his strengths and hurry up the offense and let him throw down field more.
