He is one of the worst starters in the league not because he fell off but because he never was any good. It isn't like he was injured and his arm strength was effected, it was always weak. It wasn't like he lost a step and couldn't make the runs he was always poor at running.

It may not make it "better" but it makes a difference when he signed it.
As mentioned, he was coming off a starting QB season. Small sample size for sure, but in 9 games, he threw for 300+ yards twice and 400+ once. And as mentioned was extremely accurate at 75%. Not to mention a 2-1 TD to INT ratio. He clearly looked like he was capable of making the jump.
But I agree it was a small sample size and maybe the Stamps rushed to sign him thinking there was shortage of good QB's. And there is. Further, he was the only QB in the pipeline and it seems to me that he was being groomed to take over for BLM.
