At this point it might be the only contract he gets offered which makes it more of a no brainier, imo. As awful as he's looked over the season you just can't dismiss how bad his supporting is as well.
I respect everyone's opinion but Alex Smith / Ryan Fitzpatrick / Andy Dalton do not elevate this team back to being a contender. They are all stuck in the "meh" group joined by Cam. We'd merely be jogging in place just at a faster pace. Sure our receiving TDs may go up...we may have a few notable "fantasy players" on our team, ultimately our Ws do not increase by much if at all.
If you can have an experienced qb in camp- experience in the 'Patriot Way' and he's cheap.. Do it. Like him or not , Cam has been the ultimate citizen and by all accounts a total workhorse behind the scenes. If you're bringing in a young gun, why wouldn't you want him exposed to that?
