A quarterback who saved the season with an unexpected career year after Geno Smith versus IK Enemkpali, before he saved his worst for last with a wild-card playoff berth on the line in Buffalo.
A quarterback who suddenly finds himself six days from the opportunity to wade into the green free-agent waters.
Mike Maccagnan was Rookie GM of the Year because he made all the right moves a year ago, the most impactful being bringing Darrelle Revis back home and trading away peanuts for Brandon Marshall and the journeyman quarterback named Ryan Fitzpatrick.
