It's about creating competition and spreading your eggs in different baskets. You sign a Bramlet, you draft a Palmer, and you let them fight it out with Todd Collins. There, you have two chances for a young QB to show some promise to unseat your cagey old vet, instead of just one chance.
Acquiring a guy does not necessarily mean you're committed to him. It means you're committing to getting a closer look at him to see what he can do. So it shouldn't be a foregone conclusion that Bramlet will make the roster at this point, for all we know (and all Gibbs knows) Jordan Palmer could look better in training camp.
That said, I do like what I've seen from Bramlet.

thats why i said he has a chance to be # 3 and not its a forgone conclusion.
nfl europe is definitely not a benchmark for success in the nfl but they send players over there for a reason and he has more than given the coaches what they were looking for. yes i agree that if palmer beats him out in training cam he should and will be the # 3 but i honestly feel that bramlets performance in europe has earned him the #3 job. #1 quarterback is the most important job in the nfl. #2 is top 5 in importance but # 3 in my opinion is for a young guy with potential and that is why i believe they will go with either bramlet or palmer and release collins. bramlet is my choice because of his performance in europe.
