If you are even tendering a QB it is an insult to him

That’s true. Part of that, I think, is these guys still not knowing if they actually want Campbell as their guy, but also recognizing that he’s too talented to not see what you have first. Of course, he hasn’t signed his tender yet, so he at least is still holding out hope to impress enough in the offseason to get a real contract. These guys have only seen Jason Campbell running their plays since Monday; they might still be willing to offer him a contract if he looks good this spring and summer (and if they decide not to draft a QB in the first or second round). Tenders aren’t necessarily permanent, and with a new FO and coaching staff, it’s not surprising that so many players were tendered this year. Like I’ve said elsewhere, these guys are clearly building for what their system demands, not simply on talent or reputation (cough Vinny cough). By the end of the summer, I wouldn’t be surprised if a few tenders become actual contracts and a few get either released or traded. By doing any of that, the team might not be saying “this is the most/least talented QB/LB/CB/etc in the league,” rather they’re just figuring out who can and cannot play in the new offensive and defensive systems.
Contrary to your opinion — and I know I can’t convince you of this, but I’ll say it any way — we don’t need a Hall of Fame/All-Pro/Pro Bowl QB to succeed. We need someone working in a system that plays to his strengths and who has a talented enough team around him to support his hard work. I’m not necessarily talking about a system QB or a game manager; I just mean someone who actually fits with the identity of the team. For instance, putting JC in an Al Saunders offense was not in keeping with what he actually brings to the table. The Zorn system worked better for him, but of course, we’ve gone over everything that was wrong with both system and personnel the last two years.

5 linemen + 1 qb + 1 rb + 1 fb + 1 te = 9 non-WRs. There’s only two spots left. If Moss is designated as our slot guy, that makes him a non-starter. He might be the first guy off the bench; he might see more time than any other backup. But unless he’s the X or the Z, he’s not a starter.
