The bottom line is they think losing him would be a bigger detriment in the locker room then if they just let him play it out. I am almost willing to bet they have talked to teams leaders to gauge if there is any back lash going on with AV. From the way it sounds so far the players are blaming how they are playing more then they are blaming themselves. -

that's exactly what we should not be doing.  have you ever heard the phrase "perfect is the enemy of good?" Well until the perfect quarterback comes around I'm perfectly satisfied with the good one we already have.  And I really think that squandering the draft assets to chase an ephemeral perfect Qb will hamstring us in other areas.  The microscope some of you guys hold Brissett under is abolutely ridiculous, expecting him to do things that maybe 4 QB in the entire league are actually capable of or you dismiss him as "average" or "a career backup." It's honestly pathetic at this point.  Exactly 0 of the QBs that won Superbowls in the last 15 years were guys drafted to be the perfect QB. 15 of those 15 teams had a QB with flaws -- even Manning had his share of flaws by the time he won one, with his age mounting and his health starting to deteriorate.  We wasted a lot of time in the Manning era chasing Superbowls with a QB heavy team and living in denial about how bad certain areas of the team were, especially on D, because Manning bailed it out. Cost us over and over again against the Patriots until 06 when we finally managed to eke one out against them.  Then we draft Luck and repeat those same mistakes until we break Luck down and wear him out trying to cover for all the flaws we refuse to admit are there until he retires.  There IS a reason our internet nickname is "the Glue Factory." We are not kind to our horses at times, and overoptimistically expect too much of key producers while providing too little support. And our solution to any problem, especially at QB, is to throw it away and draft another one. The whole league is bad about this but we're among the worst.  Just once I'd like to see the fans of this franchise admit that there's more to winning football games than having a QB and that the solution to all team problems is not to throw the QB into the woodchipper and draft another one. It's infuriating to be the fan of the second worst team in the league when it comes to this attitude (second only to the Jets) and watch it unfold in realtime again and again. -
You've got a stable of backs, a few good TE's, a few WR's not named TY who's a blue chip and a high draft pick in Campbell, then there's what should be a top offensive line. The talent is there. I'm not saying there aren't tweeks to be made, but this iteration of the offense is for lack of a better way of putting, "built",  the QB drama withstanding. There's a reason this team was pegged as a Super Bowl contender before the start of the season, and it's not because the D was supposed to be an all time unit. -

So true     @EastStreet    If the team replaced AV the team would also lose his leadership which could be worrisome -

Agreed   That is what I meant by KOS    NE is having Kicking issues themselves so I don’t think they would sign AV
