People want to talk about him like he's some over-the-hill retread they can bring in to hold the fort for a year or two. He's not. He's a 29-year old retread that's entering what's generally the prime for QBs. That paired with the purported compensation is not, to me, indicative of a short-term move. I think we're seeing someone being handed the job for the next 5 years, unless he flames out in some epic way.

And don't mistake that as me saying that it's a good move in any way or that he's a good quarterback. I think he's basically a ball and chain that's going to hold us down for the next 5 years, just like Cassel was. Then we get to start all over yet again, as Hali and Bowe and DJ and Albert and Charles all start to head off into the sunset.

But, yeah, we don't know for sure. I think it's a safe assumption to make, though. And we'll know more starting next week, as they start to make other moves.
