A stupid question? No not at all, plenty of people are questioning the decision to give him that deal.
As far as paying for future performance, yea all contracts have that expectation I would hope but looking at it reasonably he didn't earn the front half of the 1st contract so its not slam dunk he earns the second one.
BTW, don't you also expect we traded for Alex Smith based on what they feel he can do moving forward as well?
