Culpepper bad move for lowly Lions

What is the organization (term used very loosely) behind the Detroit Lions thinking in signing Dante Culpepper to a 2 year deal? Whats the purpose? The guy retired because no one would give him a starting job because, well, he just isnt that good anymore. But, now here come the Lions, with their hand out and their tail between their legs looking for a savior that isn't out there and one they don't really need-if you ask me anyways. Believe it or not, Dan Orlovsky has performed pretty well for the Lions. Granted, he has a penchant for tossing as many picks as touchdowns, but, based on his stats (I honestly don't watch the Lions much anymore) he tosses the ball around pretty well and gets Calvin Johnson involved-which is a good thing since he is the best player on the team. Signing Culpepper sends a bad message to Orlovsky-who I think is coming along nicely all things being equal-and Drew Stanton-their supposed heir apparent-that the Lions are giving up on them both. This is the sort of attitude toward players that, early in their careers, ruins them, and its why the Lions' 'organization' has ruined so many careers. If you don't want to believe me just take a look at the failed top 10 draft picks over the last 20 years: Andre Ware, Charles Rodgers, Mike Williams...Ok, I'll stop there before anyone gets naucious, but you get my point I think...No, the Lions don't need help at QB, they need help on Defense. They need a true impact DE that can get after the opposing teams QB. They need a true shut down corner too, and they need an offensive line that can keep QB's upright and open holes for Kevin Smith-who I still think is a future star and a steal of last years draft. Most of all, what the Lions need more than anything else, is a new owner.
