Steve9347 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 12:48 PM) If Cutler goes down for a long period of time, I'd rather see what Caleb Hanie could do rather than some washed up, over the hill vet who has no business being on the football field. Notable example: John Kitna being the backup in Dallas this upcoming year. That's nuts. The Bears have legitimate Super Bowl aspirations this year. They shouldn't hedge that bet on Caleb Hanie.

Palehosefan Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 A vet back-up can be very valuable to a team the caliber of the Bears. Byron Leftwich saved the Steelers butts a few times last year when Ben got hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas Cowboys fans around the world are probably rejoicing at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Griese was released by TB. He knows the Bears' system and would be a better backup than Hanie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without knowing how Hanie has progressed (Seriously, the backup QB slot is something you can only guess at a lot of times, the team has to evaluate them based on practices and preseason games), signing Griese wouldn't be a bad move at all. Although the Bears may not have the roster spot open for another QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Hester doesn't have to be a good WR with Cutler. Just go deep and catch the ball when it falls into his hands. How else could Earl Bennett have fooled NFL scouts? Cutler made him look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) Oh I don't doubt Cutler is going to make the WR look much better than they really are but if you think he is going to help them run their patterns better... you're dreamin......However don't get me wrong here. I hope he does make them into Pro Bowlers.. I just doubt it. Edited July 18, 2009 by EvilJester99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of Ryan Grant at all, and they've lost some solid o-linemen over the years. Not to mention they just switched to a 3-4 defense.

I hope he does make them into Pro Bowlers.. I just doubt it. At the same time, you can run good patterns, but if your QB can't get you the ball where it's supposed to be, you aren't going to catch it. Earl Bennett is also a 2nd year player now, and played with Cutler in college. He could blossom. QUOTE (rangercal @ Jul 18, 2009 -> 11:16 PM) What team doesn't have holes? (maybe NE) Green Bay has wr's, but they have more question marks than the bears. New England has holes too. Their running game has some depth, but there is not one good player amongst that entire group I would take over a ton of NFL running backs. They do throw the ball a lot, and anyone of their receivers or even Brady could suffer another injury. They may not have holes, but they may not have depth either. They are still very good though.
