With very slight changes to "his" style and actually spending at least 50% of the cap on offense I could see him playing another 15 years.Bigpumpkin":15ai9p9j said:I believe that Russ will be able to play his "style" of football for at least another 10 years. We have the potential to be dominate while Russ is here......he is definitely not our "weak link".
Fran was Mr elusive, scrambling is not a running QB, Russell is both right now, I think his whooooop plays with making guys miss will still happen, you will see less taking it up the gut for 20 yards, the 5 and ten may still happen because he sees lanes so well, he just won't be able to keep the seperating with speed from the young guys.
He better have a good running game as well of pass protection by then. Health is going to be his biggest challenge in another 4 or 5 years.
