How is switching to Blink, a Google-controlled engine, supposed to help creating an "alternative engine"?

Because Blink is an alternate engine to Webkit.

Fully controlled and developed by Google.

So what would Firefox (or anyone) gain by Firefox ditching their engine and helping Google?

I was suggesting Mozilla could help with the development. Firefox gains an engine that has a lot of other engineering hours being invested into it that can fulfill their needs.
