I know he was on the panthers roster but who the f*ck is Brett Basanez? Apparently our QB problem is solved, the Bears just inked this clown.:smilielol5:

You're not from Chi are you? Baz has come home he's a Northwestern product. He's better than any QB they've had including Rex. We'll miss him. He learned a lot from backing up Jake and he has a much stronger arm.

As an NU alum I'm very familiar with him.

As a Chicagoland resident and Bear fan I'm familiar with the QB situation.

My take: The Bears like collecting backup and 3rd string QB's, but haven't had a bonafide starter since McMahon.

Big up NU! I'm a Evanston native. Have a couple of Alums in the family. That's why I'll root for the guy. He's got more heart than Orton or Gross, mobility, and a good arm. He may be the diamond in the rough they've been looking for. He comes cheap too.

He can't possibly be worse than you already have. I'd say it was more of a lateral than an upgrade though.

Orton actually did fairly well this season, he started out pretty hot then injured the ankle and since then slowly declined towards the end of the season. Record wise he finished fairly strong though (3-1). I'm still not ready to rule out Orton as a good starting QB, he needs another 1/2 to a full season before i'm ready to call him a bust. I started this thread because like EPI said Chicago as a history of picking up other peoples back-ups and trash and never end up with anything legit. I'm not from Chicago nor an Alum of Northwestern so I don't know much about the guy but I figured if he was any good some team would've had him as their starter by now as he's been in the league for 3 years. I do appreciate the insight from you guys that know about him, thanks.

      No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad

      I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle.

      Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
