The Bears cut Connor Shaw today. So I guess he wasn't what some on here thought he was.

We could've moved Trub to the PS.

I don't remember people saying he was the answer. But several were hoping to see if he could develop into a good backup. He has a little Russell Wilson to him, but nothing that showed he has what it takes to be a starter. I wonder if his rehab is coming along slower than expected?

Is Wilson short and does he extend the play by rolling out of the pocket? Maybe it's a context issue with you?

It was a matter of time. They were never going to carry four QBs and they obviously brought Sanchez in for his experience and preparation help.

I thought you meant that Connor Shaw was mulatto...not really seeing any comparison, TBH, but your comp was still better than the PT Willis/Cam Newton stuff.

lol... don't think that thought didn't cross my mind.

I feel like you guys are reading too much into it. I didn't say they were the same, played the same, had the exact same skillset, were the same athletically or anything like that. I said he had "some russell wilson to him". I know Shaw is like 2" taller... but he plays like a smaller guy with vision in the pocket issues, that has a knack of extending plays with his feet by rolling outside of the pocket. It was a simple and harmless comparison followed up in the same breath with "nothing that showed he has what it takes to be a starter".

Can Connor throw with any velocity? Wilson doesn't tend to leave the pocket early. I like the kid but come on. You want possible starters or established vets as your backups. Connor may eventually become a journeyman backup, occasional starter but that's his ceiling.

Read my first post man. I basically said his ceiling was a backup.

Did him a favor. There are fewer practice reps then ever and he wasn't going to get any here.

Pace is an idiot. Connor Shaw-Kendall Wright-Brendan Massie would have been the most prolific offensive trio in the NFC.
