Alaskan Grizzly Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 So I was perusing a recent article in SI (and I believe Bleacher Report - OH THE HORROR!!) and saw a nugget about this kid out of Vanderbilt. Yes, that Vanderbilt. Anyhow "they" went on to say that he is a late round prospect (something like #18th rated in upcoming QB's). So the question to be asked, could he be a project QB that the Bears should/could entertain in later rounds...like 6 or 7? (Remember, Tom Brady was a 6th rounder). Anyhow, he is enticing not only because he is from Cutler's alma mater but also Aaron Rodgers little brother. And like the BR's article I read suggested, wouldn't that make for an interesting story line? http://www.greenbaypressgazette.com/articl...s-NFL-potential http://www.vucommodores.com/sports/m-footb...ers_711885.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears4Ever_34 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I brought this idea up yesterday out of curiosity. I think it would be pretty cool. He will be 25 by the time the season starts so I don't know how high the ceiling is, but if Trestman truly is the quarterback whisperer, maybe he can work some magic with this kid. Would make for some pretty entertaining games between the Packers, going up against his older brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scs787 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Ya, you're the 3rd guy to mention him, myself included. I'd love it as a "joke" 3rd string qb who could grow under Trestman. As a Northwestern fan I saw him in a game against my Wildcats and despite not looking that good I remember a few drives where he looked like he had some potential. He's also got some some pretty good wheels so he would work if they wanna move to using the read and pistol more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ54 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Don't see anything that makes him better than the 3rd or 4th QB we already have so why waste a pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balta1701-A Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 If he's the 18th QB on people's boards, he will be a UDFA. I have no issue with the Bears bringing in a UDFA if they like someone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABEARSDABOMB Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Cutler has worked with Rodgers a bit and that is what led to Cutler/Aaron being pretty good friends. I think he'd love to come to the Bears but Bears won't draft him (he's way more likely to be a UDFA). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
