I love the guy. One of the best ever. But he's 36 years old (as of March 24th) and has had multiple neck surgeries.
What do you think you are going to get from this guy at this point? Besides a massive salary cap hit and another two year delay in drafting and developing a young quarterback?

Pocket presence, reading defenses, and anticipating receiver routes don't go away with neck surgeries. If he's healthy enough to play, he's far and away the best option.
