TWO quarterbacks in NFL history have started less than one season's worth of games in their careers, got traded to a different team, and then went to a Super Bowl with that team.
Brett Favre and Matt Hasselbeck.
This isn't about signing/trading for veteran QBs. This is about putting your team in the hands of unproven backup QBs that other teams try to scam off with the hopes of coming out at the end with extra draft picks in their pockets. It's not a very good strategy. It's not productive. At all.
You may as well sign a stopgap and then draft a midrounder if there aren't any appealing options. It has the same exact chance of paying out, and at least then you're not helping out douchebag teams like the Patriots and Redskins who so ****ing OBVIOUSLY made those QB picks so they could trade them away later.
