A slight refinement is necessary here. If the player is injured all of 2012, this answer is correct. However, a second string G or QB that never sees the field, will play slightly better than a street free agent. The assumption is that the if someone makes an NFL roster as a second stringer their ability is greater than that of a street free agent. So that might be an additional reason to keep a player who did not play in 2012.
