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.

I think there can be two different aspects to this conversation first whether he should have been signed so early to start with, you make some decent points to why the Stampeders had to risk making the signing.
What I don't think anyone can justify is the price. I have yet to see anything close to justify giving him that level of money. There was no legitimate reason to so vastly overpay for him.
It was a horrible deal at the time of signing and a bad deal now.
