Not knowing if Favre is going to retire.2. Needing to get ARod some experience if Favre does retire.I really don't see wasting cap space on a FA backup QB on the assumption that #1 is going to happen, expecially when Nall's "test of the FA" doesn't seem to have his phone ringing off the hook.  If Favre does decide to call it quits, we will need to sign a backup QB in the event ARod gets injured over the course of the season.  However, I don't believe we should jump the gun and tie up cap space until we know for sure one way or the other.  The QB market is pretty ripe right now... Signing a backup this year should be fairly easy, even leading up to training camp.There are a lot of positions that we need to fill more than a backup QB at this point (guards and CBs come to mind).  IMO these positions are far more important to fill for the future of the team than a FA QB that we may or may not need.
