No, a lot of other teams (and fans on this board) want a serviceable veteran backup for insurance. The Patriots though, always seemed to have developmental guys, who, if you coach them up right(where Zorn comes in) might flourish(like Cassel, questionably) and either become your QBOTF, or a trade for picks with a good return on investment(ala Cassel).
I personally agree with Milk on this one too. I don't want a veteran who has reached his ceiling taking up a valuable roster spot. If we get into trouble and our backups don't perform, we can always call up one of the guys sitting at home...
