Report: Bears to bring back David Fales

[ruprecht]

Rather watch Fales than Barkley. Or Cutler for that matter.

I always liked Fales as a prospect, and I never thought the current staff gave him enough of a chance.

Last year, he missed the entire training camp with an illness, then played extremely well in the preseason, then got placed on the practice squad, then got moved up to the active roster very late in the season when the Patriots tried to sign him, then never actually got any playing time in a regular season game even though the season was basically over.

This year, the staff seemed determined to relegate him to 3rd or 4th string and barely even played him in the preseason.

They went with 2 QBs on the active and Shaw looked good. Fales probably chose to sign with Trestman who always liked him. Trestman's gone, Ravens don't care enough about Fales to bring him up again to ptotect him and the Bears are making their best move available.

It would be great if he earns the opportunity to be a stop gap next year. This year's QB class is so weak, it would be great if he could hold us over until next year's draft.

lol

I say there's a 70% chance that Fales is starting next week.

Bears supposedly tried signing QB Jake Rudock off of the Lions practice squad but the Lions signed him to their team to block the Bears from signing him.

What makes you say 70% and not 69.9%?

He'll come in, play well, everyone will think we have the QB of the future, even Pace, he won't draft a QB, Fales sucks, back in same situation this time next year.
