Teams should make moves to improve their team. If you have a starting caliber QB sitting on a bench somewhere, why would you not want to bring him in, especially a younger guy like Ramsey who already has some starting experience??

Hell, Matt Schaub is a lot less proven than Ramsey at the NFL level and he's been handed a starting gig and the Texans went and cut Carr to clear the position for him. Does that make them indecisive because they decided that Carr wasn't cutting it and they would rather take their chances on Schaub?

If I were the Bears and I decided Grossman wasn't the answer, I sure as hell would try to make a move rather than worrying about how that move would be perceived.

My post wasn't very clear, but I think you got my drift.

The Texans could have upgraded their QB situation by signing Ramsey for a lot less money and without all those picks. But they would never have done that, and this actually is a good example of the point I was trying to make.

Ramsey would have been an upgrade over Carr, but in an effort to not seem indecisive, the Texans chose to pour a ton of money and picks into Schaub, emphatically making their decision.

Now, Schaub is a much better QB than Ramsey, and will prove so this year. But was he 8 million dollars a year and 2 second rounders better? That's tough to say.

If the Bears decided that Grossman wasn't the answer, I'm guessing they probably wouldn't be all like "we had 11 wins with Rex, but we could get this great value guy (Ramsey), and win 12 games!". They'd probably swing a blockbuster deal for an overvalued QB thats better, and would cost way more in both money and picks.

Thats why Ramsey has no starting job.
