I think the front office tried to be bluntly honest with him. If what they all seem to say is to be believed they told him to prove he was going to be a franchise QB and they'll pay him. If he goes out and does that then they can make him a fair offer and he should be cool with it based on his personality. I think the FO actually got this right in philosophy. Perhaps their execution was a little ham-handed with all the pursuing other options talk but ultimately they knew they had to kick the tires on other options because JC hasn't shown anyone yet that he can lead us deep into the playoffs. A lot of it isn't his fault for sure but it is the simple fact that is hasn't happened.
