I like this move a whole lot.

Pittsburgh was interested too. He's an upgrade over Clausen, so whatever.
People are going to be upset that we didn't draft a QB, but this is our best option now.

 

[westcoast bear fanatic]

Wow that was quick, Pace doesn't play around.

 

[PolarBear]

Solid backup in Hoyer.

 

[jonimus]

I like it. We needed something at backup.

 

[bearmick]

Time to call Rex. :yep:

No he said backup QB.

 

[WestsideResider]

Didn't Hoyer have like 7 picks in that Chiefs game? Yuck.

 

[da_bears6]

I wonder if this is a multi-year deal.

 

[Bort]

Hoyer is terrible.

Anyone want to take any bets on whether Fales beats out Hoyer for the backup job in the preseason? I'm betting on Fales.

 

[TL1961]

Don't get me wrong, I like Cutler, but damn....I thought at some point we gotta start drafting his replacement. Unless they have faith in Fales. I liked him a couple of years ago in that one preseason game. Let's hope he has improved.

There was not one single QB in this draft I would have wanted at the point at which they were drafted.

 

[Bear Nation]

Got our backup QB. Who needs the draft?

I swear to God people think the only game Hoyer played was the Chiefs game in the playoffs. He's had a lot of decent games and this is a good signing for a back-up.

Have fun

 

[WCL]

time to call mrs. Rex. :cum:

fify

 

[Burrberry]

Well we signed Hoyer. If he can't beat Hoyer for #2 we know the deal.

I don't want someone that is capable of playing that awful in a playoff game. Would much rather let Fales be the #2.

 

[Matt2012]

Say what you want, but that playoff game wasn't a representation of his normal production.

Last year he had a 61% completion rate through 11 games with 19 TD and 7 ints. He finished with a 91.4 QBR according to the NFL website.

I'll take that for a backup any day.
