Signing Leftwich makes sense if you did it two weeks ago OR are committed to him starting for a few years, i.e. don't take someone in draft. Otherwise it makes little sense. Just throwing bone to fans to show you are trying.

Signing him 2 weeks ago meant that a team had to guarentee him his contract. Signing him now means that a team only has to guarentee 25% of the money. It's more involved than that but that is a black and white way of saying it.

And looking at the NFC South at this moment in time, this division is up for grabs. Yeah ATL is in a bad place but there is nothing saying that this division is set in stone. Maybe a spark like a Leftwich signing can give this team something. I'll never write a team off going into week 3.
