Then you use the franchise tag as long as you can and go year-to-year with him while you try to find a long-term answer that isn't as financially disastrous. And if he plays an entire year like the playoff game/last 6 starts he made, you offer him what he wants and he probably takes it, just like Bowe and others before them. It's a business, and he understands that. Just ask the fanbois who swore he'd sign for an offer that showed him "respect" and that he wasn't chasing dollar signs first.
The flip side is that his play continues to be inconsistent and his asking price either drops or you're ready to move on, anyway.
The next QB class might not have an Andrew Luck in it, but it does have a redshirt freshman signal caller who won the Heisman trophy and has all the physical ability you could ask for from an NFL QB. It does have some freak athletes with huge arms and good accuracy (Mariota and Hundley). It has some more traditional pocket passers who are well respected in their own right Bryce Petty and Kevin Hogan).
I mean, that's probably as deep a QB class as we've seen in several years, comparing for this point of the season. What exactly would need to be included in it to be a strong class? A can't miss guy who's going to go first overall? That type of class doesn't help KC, anyway, unless this season absolutely craters.
