As to what Coach Lewis said, I sure hope he's telling the truth.

I really think a huge part of this was simply replacing our current #3 QB. We ALWAYS have 3 QBs even if one is on the PS. You need the extra arm for practice, scout team and to help develop pass catchers. We have a ton of young receivers we are trying to teach up, I'm sure we noticed a glaring need for an upgrade over Wenning. Maybe coming out of the preseason that was marked internally as one of our biggest needs. We put a claim in on Mettenberger, gave a big UDFA signing bonus to the kid from Toledo so we were trying all offseason to upgrade.

I think we'll see him stick around on the roster until we need to waive him for someone else, Burfict week 4 at the latest, and then he'll go to the PS.
