Pixote Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Pennington, IF AND WHEN HEALTHY, is a significant upgrade over Kyle or Rex. The question is how is his health? It has been said he is completely recovered for this year. Is he totally healthy? If so, get him, if not, forget him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'TD' Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 If he could stay healthy behind this horrible line, he would be the ideal fit for the Bears. He's a smart QB, with what has to be one of the NFL's bests career passing percentage of 65.6%. He would give the WR's a chance to grow and make them look better. Not to mention, he is only 32 and still has a few more good years left in him. Most importantly, his game would keep the O on the field and keep the chains moving, while letting the D rest.

bowlingtwig Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 I would say bring him in to at least look at him. I am not sure what he could possibly give us considering his health problems make Rex look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubbiesFan07 Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Watching the Bear pre-game they stated that the Bears weren't interested in Pennington at all. And to top that off, it's being said that they're going to enter the season with only 2 Quarterbacks /shrug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to top that off, it's being said that they're going to enter the season with only 2 Quarterbacks /shrug Whoever says they will open with 2 QBs is an idiot. Especially given the history of cheech and chong here. Let me just say this. If they enter the season with Hanie on the PS, he'll be gone in the blink of an eye and we'll have lost a great talent and for that, I'd fire every asshole in this organization.

If he continues to play the way he did yesterday, there is no way they will put him on the PS. He will be on the 53 man roster. As you stated, he will be snapped 'in the blink of an eye'. I wouldn't call him a great talent after 1.5 quarters against a 3rd string defense but he does show real potential. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlithuanian Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Agreed. If we see similar from Hanie in the next 3, he will be our #3...

GrizzlyBear Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 No way on pennigton, His arm in Soldier field would be toast. He had problems in NY with outside play, him comming to the windy city would a disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubbiesFan07 Posted August 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 I've had thoughts about the Bears trading for Troy Smith, but I doubt that'll ever happen. Seems like he'll be getting lots of action this preseason for the Ravens though. I think he's going to be a beast someday in the NFL. But we'll just have to wait and see.

AZ54 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Pennington signed with Miami for 2 years 11.5 million. Far more money that I would have ever wanted to give him to wear a Bears uniform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixote Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 LOL, before this would have irked me. I was an advocate for getting a vet QB for 3rd string and send Hanie to the practice squad. Hell no, Hanie STAYS on the 53 man roster, he would be grabbed in a flash of the eye if the Bears tried that. He is definitely showing he is more than capable of being our #3 (if not our starter soon). He might be the QB we have been seeking for years. How ironic would it be that after all the QBs we have drafted and picked up as FAs that the best of the bunch might very well be an undrafted rookie from Colorado State. Too early to anoint him as our future savior at QB but it is fun to speculate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 The Bears will be drafting another QB next year, or bringing in a FA. If Hanie plays well throughout the preseason, and assuming Rex/Orton continue their average performance, my guess is they'll grab someone in the draft but not in Rd 1. In other words they'll take the less expensive route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
