Bears sign Mizzou QB Chase Patton (Matt Cassel v2.0)

Now that "WE GOT JAY CUTLER," it's kind of hard to generate any excitement over a new QB prospect.
In years past, any new QB we added to the team became an instant fan favorite. It didn't matter if he was drafted in the 1st, or 7th round... signed as a free agent... came from Canada... or walked into Halas Hall off the streets. Whoever he was, he drew a following.
Well... it should be noted that the Bears signed an undrafted free agent, who may very likely find himself on the final roster this year. Chase Patton (No, not my man Chase Holbrook) was Chase Daniel's backup at Mizzou, and has been talked about as being more NFL ready than Daniel.
Patton has been invited to this weekend's rookie camp. If all goes well, he will compete with two other recent undrafted free agents, Caleb Hanie and Brett Basanez, for a spot on the QB depth chart behind Jay Cutler. With no major investment tied to either Hanie or Basanez, Patton has a wide open shot to land the 3rd string job.
The 6'4" 230 pound QB was touted as a possible Matt Cassel-type in the October 2008 issue of ESPN The Magazine.
ONLY THE NAME IS THE SAME
by Seth Wickersham, ESPN The Magazine
Here's a prediction for the 2012 NFL season: Three weeks in, a superstar quarterback blows out his knee. He's lost for the year. Crushed fans write off their team because the backup, a 2009 seventh-rounder out of Missouri named Chase, has hardly played. And in fact, he starts out looking pretty shaky. But then he completes a few passes. And a few more. Soon he's winning regular-season games…then a divisional playoff game…then a conference championship…then…yes…the Super Bowl! Suddenly, Chase is worldwide. There he is chuckling with Conan. That's him with Regis and Kelly. Now he's inking a multiyear deal. Reporters scramble to Columbia, Mo., looking for clues to his unlikely success. Meanwhile, humiliated NFL scouts wonder how, after Tom Brady and Kurt Warner and Tony Romo, they missed an other hidden star.

Is it August yet???

The Redskins signed Chase Daniel
Last year, they drafted Colt Brennan. They should just run the darn spread offense… they have 2 spread QBs on the depth chart.

and neither of them will ever be a good nfl qb.

If you had 3 of them on the roster... they'd be interchangable in that offense.
And since that offense provides less pass protection, and those guys are all smaller, you’d probably need all 3 of them :) But… it could work.
Look how well Tyler Thigpen did last year. The Chiefs were devastated by injury at QB, and forced to play him. After he looked awful running their base pro style offense, they decided to run the spread offense, because that’s what he ran in college (Coastal Carolina). The Chiefs started lighting up the scoreboard all of the sudden after that.

That's what I thought
In fact, my first thought was that it was a promo shot of Affleck in an upcoming film in which he portrays a gridiron player.

Chase Daniel is nobody to get excited about
Just hope and pray Jay Cutler stays upright and that either Caleb Hainie or Brett Baesanez can be a serviceable # 3 type quarterback. I still say Angelo brings in a grizzled veteran to serve as backup quarterback.

The Bears keep saying positive things about Hanie...
They like him… and barring the addition of a FA veteran, Hanie will probably be the #2

Which is good, considering that the Bears aren’t looking at Chase Daniel

I live in Missouri
I have met Chase Patton in person, and seen him in practice. He has a BIG arm, not quite as accurate as Daniel but he has good size. If Mizzou ran a different style offense he would have been the starter, but Daniel was better for the spread.
Bottom line is camp is coming right up, and we need more than 3 arms in camp to throw to all these new receivers we have signed… we don’t want Cutler’s freaking arm falling off throwing to practice squad guys.
Costs us nothing but a few bucks, and hey, you never know.
by sabbath999 on Apr 27, 2009 2:41 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Yep... we need practice arms
Especially when they start breaking up into their position drills. But, with the depth chart made up of Hanie and BB… anyone who comes in, including Patton, has a real shot at the #3 job.

I like how they moved...
Daniels up about 5ft.
Cause Daniels is 5"10" in high heels.
Awww, man what am I supposed to do about my sig now?

CD is a legit 6 feet. Met the gentleman
plus Drew Brees is a pretty good player and he’s short too. however this has no bearing because he’s on the Washington Un-PC’s

This guy...
Is meaningless.
Cutler
Hanie
Brett B
And maybe a veteran back-up during camp.

Last year...we all said Hanie was meaningless
And he’s our #2

Depth
Depth at every position helps you win. This is the NFL, you need quality backups.
by sabbath999 on Apr 27, 2009 6:08 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
i agree and i'm scared
this team needs to go out and get a real veteran backup.
a brian griese-type. notice i didn’t say brian greise but someone like him.

I have almost taken more snaps than this guy.

So...
You liked him on the evening we signed him, right after the draft last year on April 28, 2008?
That’s impressive…. (rolls eyes).

Are these 3 really gonna be our only backups?
Hanie, Banazzanazza-fofazza and The Other Chase?
That seems risky. I’d be surprised if we didn’t pick up a veteran #2 at some point.
by TCBullfrog on Apr 27, 2009 7:11 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
Given
New England’s offensive line, Randy Moss, and Wes Welker, this guy is probably 5 – 8 touchdowns better than Matt Cassel. Certainly can’t go wrong by bringing him in.
Insert clever and witty remark slash pun here!
