Brunell and Collins are almost certainly done after this season. So it's a foregone conclusion that we are going to have to bring in someone new.....and soon. So, we might as well bring in a new #3 who will learn the offense this year and be ready to step up to #2 next season when Brunell is gone, as opposed to having a new #2 and #3 next season.

Why are you assuming Collins will be gone after this season?? Please explain why that's a "foregone conclusion?"
To date, with all of our cap maneuvering, the team has kept Todd Collins on the roster despite the fact that they could cut him right this very minute and save $1.2 million in cap space. They've decided to keep him anyway, because they see value in him.
I see no reason to believe we won't consider signing him to a one-year deal next season at or near the vet minimum. All indications are that the guy is still in favor in Saunders' mind, mainly for the comfort level of having someone who knows what they're doing in an emergency.
A foregone conclusion that he's out of here? That couldn't be further from the truth.
