Backup QB philosophy

I’m for an athletic stud that needs coaching. So we can still draw up plays to get them In for real time experience 

Athleticism is way down my list of priorities.

Accuracy, intelligence and the ability to make quick reads are prime factors. Anything beyond that is gravy.

Quarterbacks whose prime characteristic is their athleticism don't last anywhere near as long in the NFL as great passers.

Not hard to understand. Trade Bridgewater for a 7th if need be. Bring in Trubisky for 5 years, ~$5-7 mil per and worst case, you bottom tier starter for top end backup QB money while you search for your franchise QB. Here’s the kicker, Trubisky could still develop into a top 15 QB over that contract. 

Lol nobody is trading for Teddy he will be our starter or we grow some balls and cut him.

We’re you asking about your starter or back ups?

The way I’m saying is I’d rather Taysom Hill as a back up than Teddy

I get that. And I can see it to a point.

I'd just have to know they can develop into something more than a guy who runs around a lot and throws the ball really far.

There's way more to being a successful quarterback than that.

Remember in your original post we took out our developmental players that we are grooming for the future. They will be the blokes with traits you want to develop.

You honestly think having Trubisky on our team for $5 mil per would be dumb? I guess your prefer Walker or Grier to a QB who may still be capable of being a starter in the league? Tells me all I need to know about your capacity to analyze our QB situation, but out of curiosity, what’s your backup QB plan?

Trubisky makes sense on a ONE year deal. Five??? WTF kind of Hurney BS is that?

Trubisky literally lost his job to other backups....more than once. 

Your fuging backup plan is pay a fuging backup QB $25 mil?

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
