adam Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Connor Shaw re-signed with Bears: https://twitter.com/cmshaw8/status/838037560798687233 Great signing, I think he has the potential to at least be a quality backup and potentially a starter.

BearFan PHX Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 You never want to go into the draft with a NEED. If you have any glaring holes, you want to sign Free Agents to fill them. Obviously you can't always put quality free agents into every position, but you want to have the flexibility to make best player available picks, and have at least a backup plan for every position in case you cant draft them because other opportunities arise, a player gets taken right before your pick etc. You can count on the Bears signing a free agent wide receiver for example.

ChileBear Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Personally think it's a great idea. Suspect Hoyer next? I agree Alaska. There were good vibs about him before the injury. He knows the system and the coaches, so he's at least a no 3 here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ54 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Neither side had any reason to part ways. Knowing the offense and the lack of QB competition makes this by far Shaw's best chance to show he can be an NFL QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskan Grizzly Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 yes they did play together Ah yes., good eye. I remember that game well. Jeffery still won the MVP of that game despite being ejected. I didn't realize that it was Shaw hurling the rock. Guess that answers the question of whether he can throw the long ball. I'd have to say it would be sweet if we could reunite those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemonej Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I think Shaw got a raw deal in college playing in Spurrier's 2 QB system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our last Spurrier coached QB got us to a Super Bowl. That guy Grossman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True and he was allowed to play the whole game early on! This is supposedly something scouts are taking into account with Kizer as Kelly also designates certain series to another QB.

If we want to connect more dots, Mitchell Trubiskys head coach Larry Fedora was also an offensive assistant at Florida when Rex Grossman played.
