Because, just like with every other QB acquisition this team has made over time, the team wants instant gratification.
They want to get back to a full stadium and competing for the division THIS YEAR and they didn't think any of the QBs in this class could step right in and win right away.
They didn't want to break any eggs, so they choose the "just add water" version.
It makes a crappy cake, but it cooks fast and doesn't need a lot of ingredients.
