Oh dear God. Oh dear God. What are they THINKING? Kapernick next ? Saw where Jerry Krause died. Didn't care for him one way or the other, but he was there during the Bull/Jordan run. A rare time for
Chicago sports to dominate in anything.

 Wow ... alotta QB starters from last year are still gimped.


 E J Manuel QB drafted #16 in the first by Buffalo in 2013 ...


 has signed with Da Raiduhs for 800 K.


 First dopey move by the new Raiduhs organization but still ... cheap signing !


 Josh McCown wandered over to JETS. I heard for 770K ...


 but now am hearing for 6 Mil.  ???


 Saw where Jamal Adams is ranked the #1 player in the Draft ready to START in the NFL.


 With our second pick how about Adoree Jackson as triple threat ?


 OR ...


 Mixon !!


 With Howard that would be one hell of a loaded backfield ...


 spelling relief for any QB starting for DAA BEARRSSE.

My burning question is does this mean the Bears pass on drafting a QB? We already have 3 under contract now but nobody other than Shaw do I think could be a long term QB of the future but maybe a stopgap to next years draft where there may be better quality.

I think we all like Shaw but it's not like he's going to be just handed the backup QB job without some competition.

I'd like to see the guaranteed money Sanchez is getting.

After the draft, there will be mini camp, several voluntary camps, and then training camp.  Sanchez is a camp arm with an opportunity to compete.  Bears will likely draft a QB in the first 4 rounds - your guess is as good as mine when.  This will likely come down to Sanchez versus Shaw for a roster spot.  God help us if he plays a real snap for the Bears.

The intrigue will be interesting over the next 4 weeks.  I said early on that at least 1 QB would be drafted in the first two picks, and that is in jeopardy, but watch the next 4 weeks.  I also said my best case scenario would be to sign Tyrod Taylor and draft Kizer.  So far I was half wrong...

I agree, it will be interesting. But nobody really answered my burning question. I believe it pushes QB down the ladder for sure. I think that kind of identifies who the Bears brain trust actually would feel comfortable with and that's Peterman and he can likely be had in the 4th round where we have 2 picks. Like if they felt that a QB they like had a 2nd round grade (name your player) and he was gone they wouldn't be upset. They would just move on to the next on their list. INOW they will only look for value with the pick and not overdraft because of need. IMHO I doubt the Bears grade this current QB class very high. Now maybe they do their homework via pro days and bringing in players for workouts in their evaluations. But with 3 QBs under contract there is no panic to take a QB.

I'm getting that 70's craptastic vibe from this team that I knew when I was growing up. A bunch of "who the hell is that on the field ?" and "why the hell is that on the field ?" guys.

Barring a major miracle this team feels like those bottom feeding Bears I grew up and somehow fell in love with. I must be a masochist......

We can call this season John Faux's last coaching stand if Pace doesn't a HOF draft or their legacy will be one of utter failure......

Please McCaskets- JST (Just Sell the Team) and uncurse this damn franchise please ! But we know that will never happen....

Every dog will have its day. Unfortunately this one's been shot and run down in the middle of the street.....

BTW Espn is running a documentary on Bears fans from last year. Starts next month. That should be worth a watch at least.....

This post kind of amplifies my previous post. I cant necessarily agree with this post. I still question the Sanchez move but one thing I did get out of this post is that the Bears are doing their due diligence, probably more than I expected. And it could have been put in the draft section as well:

I will say this.... if the Bears do draft a QB high Shaw's days are numbered.

If Shaw plays the way he did before he got hurt last year I see Sanchez as the guy whose days are numbered.

And he is guaranteed $1 million.  Maybe Shaw is the odd man out.  They say Dirty Sanchez did help Dak Prescott, maybe that is the thinking.  Who knows.

Hmmm...$1M guaranteed?

Maybe the Bears will go for Solomon/Adams and nab the QB in round 4.

If Pace gets any QB early he'd have to spin his comments about having all this confidence in Glennon.

I do like that the Bears signed Deonte Thompson.  Wondering if they've bailed on Marquise Wilson.

Thats what the Fan Sided draft I posted suggested, Peterman in the 4th. That almost made me vomit but it sounded so Bearish it seemed real. I still would expect some sort of draft shenagans by the 9ers.
