Wesson44 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 So the Browns signed J. Campbell and will soon depart with Colt McCoy. Do you see him as a backup for the Bears? If not then who would be the best fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingtwig Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 OR I'll make it simple. Anyone but tebow. And dude will cost at least a draft pick. I would rather use a draft pick for a back up instead of using it on tebow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 As a backup, I don't mind the concept of Tebow. With a QB guru coaching, maybe he can harness the various great Tebow attributes and use them to accentuate flaws? He's especially more appealing if the Bears actually to plan on putting in some read-option packages. But he'd have to come free...no draft picks.

BearFan PHX Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Jay Cutler has a lot of talent, but I'm not sure he will ever reach his potential. Also, this is the last year on his contract. Now, don't get me wrong, Im all in on Cutler, and would LOVE to see him dominate and bring a super bowl victory to Chicago. But Trestman knows QBs, and if he sees someone in this draft that he thinks is the man, I would not mind seeing him take that QB in the 1st round, to play behind Cutler for a year. Since we've plugged most of our needs via short term free agency, and are free to take any player on the board, IF Trestman thinks his guy is there, I wouldn't be bothered a BIT to see him take that player with the 20th pick. We could literally take ANY position with our first pick. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would need to be very specific about his role. IMO that's where NY screwed up. They kept hinting at having a secret plan for him. Meanwhile, Dirty Sanchez sucked, Tebow was worse than the #3 QB, and there was no package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say what he did in Denver looked #2-worthy. I doubt Campbell would have had similar results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearFan PHX Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 From what I see in the draft, I dont want or expect a QB either. What I'm saying is that I'm not Marc Trestman. If I'm the GM and Trestman tells me theres a QB that has what he needs to be the next legendary QB, then I think we're in a position where we COULD take him. To my eyes, I like Cutler, but I see he has some flaws and if even Trestman can't get him to cut it out, being that this is the last year of his deal, and we didn't extend it, I'm saying, maybe they have something in mind. I think at this point they've earned the benefit of the doubt, so whatever they do, even if it's a surprise to us, I'll be optimistic.

balta1701-A Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Both Matt Flynn and Kevin Kolb also came off the market yesterday, although I'd guess both would have been out of the Bears' price range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
