Oops, I just posted a story about Simms

He signed with Denver. I wish I had seen this article so I did not post a useless fanpost.

Seriously....

Are any of these guys better than Neckbeard?

by scespy12 on Mar 4, 2009 6:32 PM CST up reply actions  

Maybe, maybe not.

But how many would be a good back-up if Orton got hurt?

And, a couple of these guys may could even compete for a #1 spot, but judging by JAs comments in the interview posted by propheteer, there won’t be any more competition.

The only way KO ain’t the starter is if we bring in a true #1 QB.

Things will get better as they improve...

by Dane Noble on Mar 4, 2009 6:35 PM CST up reply actions  

+1

BUT… are any of these even legit backups?

I see only about four and the rest are marginal at best.

by scespy12 on Mar 4, 2009 6:38 PM CST up reply actions  

I don't doubt that Leftwich

is better. But, Angelo won’t do it. He could have had Leftwich when he traded down to get Rex, he is a bit averse to making moves that imply that he screwed up before.

by Santos Sorrow on Mar 4, 2009 6:41 PM CST up reply actions  

not really

although i think leftwich would be worth a shot.

by mike b on Mar 4, 2009 10:00 PM CST up reply actions  

Not the QB thing again.

I thought we had this settled.

We are talking chicago bears football here....

The QB thing is never over.
Orton could go to ten pro bowls and we would still be saying to draft a QB

you know that story

about the Backup QB that steps in for the injured QB and becomes a Legend? Steve Young, Brett Favre, Johnny Unitas, Tom Brady, Willie Beamen. Add Caleb Hanie tp that list.

Leinart

could potentially be available, now that Warner has 2 guaranteed years.

DEJESUS!!!

by tomas21 on Mar 4, 2009 6:50 PM CST reply actions  

Watch out for Caleb Hanie!

He’s been working out and throwing since the season ended according to chicagobears.com. And apparently he lost 20 pounds and is focused on securing the #2 spot. But He probably is thinking that he has a legitimate shot at the #1 if he plays his cards right.

by Haightminow on Mar 4, 2009 6:58 PM CST reply actions  

Or he could be

cut in training camp becuase we draft a better third stringer in the draft somewhere…Not sold on Hanie. Didn’t exactly light it up at CSU his last year there against average competition..

by tfrabotta on Mar 4, 2009 7:32 PM CST up reply actions  

You talking two years ago.

I’m not sold on him either. But stranger things have happened.

Hanie is 3rd string material at max

He’s just not that good. Even the Bears are smart enough to know he isn’t now and doubtful will ever be legitimate competition for the # 2 quarterback job. We as Bear fans are guilty to way over-valuing Hanie because that is what we do. See the famous wide receiver with last name Haas for reference point.

by BLou on Mar 4, 2009 9:53 PM CST up reply actions  

i swear

people think hanie and haas could carry an offense.

Well let's just wait untill we see a little more....

From Hanie.

Losman wouldn't be a bad 2nd or 3rd stringer

He’d most definitely have the most upside out of anyone on that list. Plus, he’d come very cheap.

Expectations

should be very low for Hanie. He had a very mediocre college career. Decent completion % but way too many picks and too few TDs.

DEJESUS!!!

by tomas21 on Mar 4, 2009 10:16 PM CST up reply actions  

We would be

better off keeping Grossman as #2 than any of those guys.

by luckie815 on Mar 5, 2009 6:30 AM CST reply actions  

Except the fact

that Rexy would be a complete, and utter distraction to the team.

I actually felt good

about Grossman coming in the Detroit game and the Tenn game. A little nervous but confident. He knows the offensive scheme and all the players. Better than any FA we could bring in. What about a trade for Drew Stanton? He’s big and has a good arm. Just a thought.

I've always liked Drew Stanton

"You win because of the quarterback. We have to get that position stabilized. We're fixated on that.

We know it's the most valuable position on the football team. We've gone through so many scenarios at that position we can write a book, moreso on what not do."
