The only way he's an upgrade is because he was a more mobile QB then Ramsey is, and with his age and the fact he was hurt most of last year that difference is going to drop dramatically, especially when compared to a situation with Ramsey, a decent O-line, and a decent running back.
Even without the contract, it is a truely stupid move, especially when a guy like Kurt Warner, or if the rumors are true Jeff Garcia, could be availible on the market. Even signing Anthony Wright to compete for the job would be a better move; at least he's truely mobile and willing to be a backup.
