I hate this move. It's a joke. And i could see this pissing off some of the guys in the locker room. Why does every position have competition except Wilson. It's not consistant to have frank clark breathing down Avril and Bennett's neck, while Wilson can just stroll in as the starter, and never lose his starter gig no matter how poorly he plays during the season. And this isnt about CK, its about what a joke Davis is. If Wilson gets hurt, season over.
I'll take a stab at that.
1) Because it took 36 years and umpteen draft picks to find a true top 10 franchise QB.
2) Because once you have a guy that has proven himself, and excels in the big moment, you use those higher picks to replace more necessary positions.
3) You have one of the most durable QB's in the league, certainly the most durable in one of the better QB draft classes, and you take advantage of the fact he has never missed a game with some gambles that others cannot afford to take.
4) There never was any competition with either player to begin with because of 1-3 listed above and at least 10 other reasons.
