The Bears do need to find a better backup QB than Clausen for next year. They also need to hedge their bets in case they aren't able to get a QB they like in the draft, or they can't get that QB early. I'm assuming Cutler will be back to play out the rest of the guaranteed portion of his contract next year, but I'd love for them to get a young guy for Gase to work with. Mettenberger is a QB I really like, and I'd be all for that if it only takes a 5th or 6th. Then you're not necessarily hellbent on getting a QB in the 1st round. You can take one in the mid-late rounds and have 2 chances to find a future guy. Or if a QB is the BPA in the 1st, a guy like Mettenberger won't kill you to have on board as the 3rd QB, because he makes next to nothing. Or you can just turn around and trade him again.

Wow so underwhelming. None of the QBs excite me. Rather have Kurt Warner unretire.

Cutler's beginning to grow on me. Let's just pray he doesn't have a great season and have someone else steal him from us.

Chicago Bears, 1-3

Trade for Geno Smith, Ryan Nassib, EJ Manuel or AJ McCarron: Most of these quarterbacks are from the forgotten class of 2013, but McCarron, a fifth-round pick the year after, is also jammed between a rock and a hard place in Cincinnati. The Bears, not knowing what will happen in next year's draft, should ensure themselves by dealing for one of these unknown quarterbacks -- with Manuel and Smith, give them a chance in a different offense -- and letting them rip. They can spend the weeks leading up to, and including the bye week, learning the system and for the final eight games, the Bears' offense is theirs to mold. What's the worst-case scenario here? The Bears deal a late-round pick on a flier and it doesn't work out? Are they worried about protecting their relationship with Jay Cutler?

There are more posters on is board that come up with better shit than this idea. I'd rather read their ideas...

Lol. EJ Manuel or Geno Smith. Lololololol. Is Rick Mirer still available?

There are definitely some intriguing backups out there like Mettenberger, McCarron, Garoppolo, Glennon. Outside of that, I'm not interested.

whats the difference with any of these 5 qbs

Manuel and Smith we've seen both suck. The others listed are unproven but have upside. They could be good or not, we just don't know.
