Teams want backups that will keep the boat as steady as possible, not one that they are going to have to rip out half of the playbook and start teaching receivers how to catch balls that will be coming in very wobbly and very late and as they are getting hit. Maybe a team with an already unconventional passing game like the Ravens.

Backups with Blake's resume don't come around often. He'll have plenty of offers.

If you have NFL starts (significant ones, not just those due to injury, etc.) it changes everything.

You're put in front of the line.  Gabbert, Geno Smith, et al still get bounced around and find landing spots.

Also... coaches also have a tremendous amount of hubris.  (The "I can do/fix/work with what others couldn't" attitude.)
