There isn't a "staggering" number of free agent QB signings. Hell, there have only been 55 QB's taken in the second round since 1967, three of which have won a Super Bowl.

let's presume that there are only 2-3 udfa QBs per year that stick (a number I don't consider unreasonable, but that's arguable). hell, let's say it's 2.5 for the sake of argument. 1967 to 2013 is 46 years. 46*2.5=115. granted, that doesn't take into account the differing lengths of the draft (went from way over 10 rounds to the current seven during that span), nor the amounts of teams and amounts of roster spots.
as for staggering... depends on your threshold of what 'staggering' is.
