So far he seems happy here, but I do worry that if he takes a beating like last year that he may sour on the team pretty quickly. We have seen plenty of our premier players become disgruntled over the years. Like Palmer, Dillon, Pickens, Spikes. If I was him I would care about my long term future if the team repeatedly ignores the OL, or does a poor job improving it. I could also see him retiring early if there are multiple seasons like last season.
That's the thing though, he didn't ask for a better O-line, he asked for Ja'Marr Chase, a WR who can get open immediately. The team gave him what he wanted. Were he to take another beating, like you said, he would have no one to blame but himself. Lot's of people on here were criticizing the possibility a young QB would be making personnel decisions, and in the end I don't think he did. But the top two targets were both the best in the draft at their relative positions, and he was given input, which is huge towards keeping you QB happy. Joe obviously felt a better receiver would help him more than one offensive lineman. I think what Taylor and Tobin did was excellent. (I know that will surprise you)
