Bears4Ever_34 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I'd prefer Orton if at all possible. He's had experience with Marshall as well. That would be the perfect option at backup QB but Cambell isn't bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'TD' Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I'd really like that move also, so far I am really liking how Emery thinks. Let's just see what he has plans for the OL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DABEARSDABOMB Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Career record around .500. Also has a career QB rating of 82. Very very solid player. Not great but he's a really solid backup. Bears would have been in the playoffs if we had him last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azbearsfan Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Imagine, an actual backup qb who could come into a game and not be utter trash. Its amazing to see actual moves that make the team better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitownhustla Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Agreed. Never liked him as starter but do like the idea of him as a backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Supposedly his contract would be for around 3M. Per Jason Cole of Yahoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradjock Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Imagine, an actual backup qb who could come into a game and not be utter trash. Its amazing to see actual moves that make the team better. The SCORE reported Jason Campbell will cost the Bears 3 million per. Shouldn't the Bears spend that money to keep Cutler upright? Or to give him a TE that can stretch the field? I agree with you we need a good back-up. But the Bears have so many needs, this is not a luxury we can afford IMO.

'TD' Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 That's just the price of a decent back up QB, you see what happened last year with out one. I'm all for improving the OL, but this was a need that needed filled also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears would have been in the playoffs if we had him last year. Bingo. Not great, not bad, good solid backup that would have won one or two of those games, got the Bears in the playoffs, and given Cutler just enough time to come back and deliver.

I'd prefer they spend in order of need, to be quite honest. 3M is not bad for a solid backup QB, but I'd prefer more spending on the OL so the Bears never get to the #2 QB like they have the past two years. Then the money for #2 can be a little less...or a rookie draft pick with promise can be given time to truly develop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DABEARSDABOMB Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Really, 3million- you cant get him cheaper than that??!! He was better than Carson Palmer last year and would still be the Raiders QB had he not went down. He's a really solid backup and when your total cap is around 120M, I think you can spend 3M on a good backup. Especially after we saw what happened with the Bears last year.

The SCORE reports Marshall will cost us 9 million in cap space. We started with 22+ million. That brings us down to 14+ million. Things I'd like to see before we sign Campbell: Mario Williams (maybe not possible now) or any pass rushing D-end Okoye resigned John Carlson or any TE who's an offensive weapon that can stretch the field (not named Kellen Davis) Starting o-lineman LaRon Landry We can't find a back-up QB who's not awful for 1.5 million?

Some reports indicate that. However, Sean Jensen (Sun Times) and others have indicated we started with 26M (including Forte). So this would bring the total cap space down to 19M. This does not include money set aside for draft picks and the resigning of other players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 For 1.5 million you get the Todd Collins of the world...... I think McCown would cost about $1.5m and he was solid last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azbearsfan Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 I think McCown would cost about $1.5m and he was solid last year. The best thing McCown had going for him was that he had experience in running the clown show which was Martzball. Campbell is an upgrade.

DABEARSDABOMB Posted March 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Quality move. I expect McCown to be cut and Enderle to remain the backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
