No, it doesn't. A proven veteran FA provides a viable option. A 3rd round or later QB who's never taken a snap provides...? A hope? A possibility?
Fitz released by Titans. Anyone interested as a backup?

If they see a QB that has what they determine to have starting QB qualities at some point in the not too distant future, I think it is very good draft capital to use. We all hope that Sam is our QB of the present and future if he is playing well. But a good young back-up is not only good insurance, he can be a good investment in the future. In that sense I agree with Alan.
At the same time, I agree that it is the time to win. If there is a player there that can really help you fill an immediate need now, then take him instead.
The thing I come back to is that once you get to the third round, most players are looked at for future potential, and not so much as rookie starters. So at that point, why not make that be the QB position?

Always been a bit of a fan of Fitzy. I'd say bring him back but wont he want quite good money? He's proved himself as an ok starter in the league. He'd definitely be one of the better backup QB's in the league anyway.

Exactly why we can't afford to lose a year of development time. Because that's exactly what we'd have with any pick we made in any round after we found we desperately needed one. One need only look at all the QBs taken in the first round who have failed to live up to their billing. It's a huge list and I wouldn't want most of them backing up SB.

Hell of Mad Mike liked him that is decent for me to think he'd be decent at the very least as a back up. He did serviceable in Buffalo and Tenn to say the least. I'm always up for a Harvard grad!

Fitz would be my choice as well, but I think money is an issue with signing him. Think that's what the Rams don't want to do, invest say 3 mill in a very good backup QB when they can spend say... Idk 1 mil on someone else?
Money sounds like the issue here, otherwise I think we would have signed Fitz by now.

I really don't know what you think happens with a 3rd stringer/scout team QB. After one year of that, they aren't going to be much, if at all, more ahead of a QB drafted who gets a full training camp as the starter.
