Not to mention he has 7 starts total where he has been taking first team reps , etc. I like the improvements im seeing at this stage of his career (in dog years).

Unique situation for Kirk because he sat behind someone who the franchise had huge expectations for.
Looking at the numbers, Kirk has played the OVERALL toughest defenses in the NFL combined between all 31 NFL teams according to pro insider. He's down from 4.5 INT/Throw to 3.0. League average is a bit below that.
We have a QB right now that is playing in a real WCO and project numbers...
4100 yards, 23 TD 18INT %68 completion rate.
Compare that to other young QB playing their first season. There is no way you don't offer the guy a McCown or Fitz type deal and build around the team more.
