Seems fair to compare him to a guy who was in his 7th season by the time he QB this franchise (Kitna) and a guy who in his only season as a starter, put up a 70 rating.

The point was he has "journeyman" type measurables and talent. Andy's skillset aligns him pretty closely with the Mark Sanchez, Ryan Fitzpatrick, John Kitna, Eric Kramer, Josh McCown, Neil O' Donnelll, Kevin Kolb, Trent Dilfer, Stan Humphries, bad shoulder Chad Pennington types of NFL QB's. Limited skillset guys who will produce a good season here and there, but don't have the skills to carry the offense. These types of guys typically bounce around the league, make valuable backups, and decent short term starters. However, they're never relied on as foundation pieces. Often they're bridge guys for teams searching for an upper tier talent to groom into a starter. They aren't neccesarily bad players, but not very good either. These types of guys, as Sparky would say, end up reverting to the back of their ball card if allowed to start long enough.
