TO package + 1/2 price Burris is better than Ricky Ray? Hard to say.
Even if that is the plan is there any reason why the return from TO has to be so crappy?

Is Shaw any better than the guy they already have Schiavonne (sp?)? Is Jyles any better than random back-up QB that will be available through FA whether new to the league or a NFL cast-off?

If that is the plan I still think the return should have been better and, even though I like Burris, it is a huge risk because there is no way the fans are going to go for that switch so if it fails you are in huge trouble with the fan base.
