I absolutely agree...however, why would you sign a 30 year old that has not produced in a few years to a THREE year contract? Also, when everyone says Portis legs are not there anymore, and his age is showing, why get OLDER at the position? I just don't get this plan.

as far as rex, he knows the system which gives him a head start, and i would rather have him as a backup/coach than todd collins any day of the week

I am not sure I agree here. Rex is not an answer for any team. His career comp % is only 54%. That's terrible for a pocket passer. 33 career passing tds, and 36 career int's (36 total tds, and 56 career turnovers)...another bad sign.
I certainly don't think we should have kept Collins, I agreed with dropping him, I would have much rather gotten a rookie QB to back up Campbell / Colt. That being said, there is no way in hell I'd take Rex over Collins in terms of coaching skills. Collins is an intelligent QB, he just doesn't have the physical tools to be good.
