Also we still may be in play for drafting someone. I think this move just adds another durable guy w/ experience who can be a backup or starter. Obviously he isn't the long term solution.

The off season isn't over yet as we will see what happens in the draft.

Really not sure why anyone dislikes this move.

Concur on competition. Hope so on drafting. It is a decent amount of money that could be spent better elsewhere that does nothing to address the long term need at the position. Did you see the Packers signing stopgaps after Favre retired? No, they drafted until they found their guy. As observed in original post, we should be adding players with long-term potential. When you look at long term potential at the position, we may have the worst QB situation in the NFL. The proper approach would have been to not sign Fitz and draft 1-2 QBs and let them compete.
