Go get him. Played for the pats for 3 seasons. It makes so much sense. I'm saying this and I hate MSU.

Get StartedCoaches love backup QBs who know the system, even if they aren't very talented. What they don't want is a guy coming in Q3 of a game, and fuckign up everyone's rythm and timing for weeks to come because they don't understand the playbook.
Orlovsky, for better(?) or worse(yep) is the backup this season. We're going to bring in a developmental guy to begin learning, but there is no veteran QB out there that is going to be signed.
It's all about continuity.
You're arguing with the wrong guy. I am 100% certain that when I say "Coaches love backup QBs who know the system" I was not imparting mystic hidden knowledge upon anyone.
You guys know that to be true. It gets proven every year. It's a universal fact of the NFL.
I'm not the one saying a guy can't learn the system. I'm not the guy saying I love guys who know the system.
I'm the guy saying that the only reason Orlovsky was brought back here is because he knows the system Caldwell wants to run, and thats the same reason he will be the backup for the Lions in 2016.
Argue that shit with Caldwell.
