As far as the "temp fix when he doesn't/wouldn't actually fix anything" phrase goes. I happen to believe that our weakness is on the offensive side. Mostly the offensive line, but outside of Moss there is no other reciever production (Cooley not included) and outside of Portis there is no out of the backfield production. I believe that in addition to being a backup QB he could help us those areas as well as be a return man. He would be cheap and he could help so long as we address the Oline. And if somewhere down the line we needed him to fill in at QB he could be an option. He is just too good of an Athlete to not take a "cheap chance on" especially if no one else will. Note: that I am not talking about gimmick plays either. I am talking about lining him up as a receiver and/or using him out of the backfield. If the opportunity for him to play QB arises, then I am confident in his abilities.

see, that seems a lot more reasonable.
the problem is, i don't think he's had enough experience to be a good enough receiver and i don't think he'd make a great return man (more prone to injuries and he fumbles a lot). I definitely think he has the speed and moves for it, but getting hit repeatedly, holding the ball, and staying in the game aren't really his strong suits.
