I get it, people hate Alex here, but the franchise is not going to endear itself to prospective players if they pull a 49ers on him again.
I don't think they will. But then, the task becomes extracting a ton of value from a legit franchise that isn't a potential rival in the AFC. They can't use their waning contract leverage to ship him off to the likes of Cleveland, and sending him to SD/LA or TENN will be a real headache.
Can you imagine the heads exploding if an Alex-led AFC team goes on a playoff tear at our expense, even in 4-5 years [unless we have some success of our own in the intervening time]?

Not saying he's going to skyrocket in production, just remembering what 32yo Vinnie Testeverde looked like, compared to 38-39yo Vinnie.

You know absolutely nothing about football and should stay in DC.
