This just... isn't true? The weeks 12-16 of the regular season he was 14TD 2INT, 69% completion rate (nice), 287 ypg and 8.1 ypa, he was good. He basically sucked for the last two games. Now, it's certainly fair to say those were the "prove it" games and the most important of the season and it's reasonable to have doubts based on those, but to say he was terrible the last "4-5 weeks" just isn't reality-based.
Rich Eisen went on the air this morning and predicted that this deal would be 50 million per season, and it's 55M guaranteed total. If it doesn't work out this year they're not tied to anything, and they're not contenders this year anyway unless something
very strange happens, so it seems like it's worth a shot.
