The guy has not been a legitimate starter and you can't properly evaluate a back up quarterback based on what he did in just two lousy games.
Secondly, as a lot of people would agree, a free agent signing of a QB is not how you win in the NFL. In the last seven Super Bowls, a first round draft choice has played quarterback. If anything, that alone should be the standard for drafting your own QB. A free agent QB will always be hit or miss while a quarterback drafted in the first round is almost always a hit. In today's NFL, only a first round selection at quarterback guarantees success at that position.

Sorry but you're wrong on both counts.
As CB59 has already mentioned Brees was a free agent in NO, and was orginally a 2nd round pick.
We've had our share of first rounders come through here, that alone should show you that a first round QB is far from any sort of guarantee for success.
