August 7, 200817 yr comment_43101 Just what we need a noodled arm QB. we already have shitty QBs Report
August 7, 200817 yr comment_43102 Pennington, IF AND WHEN HEALTHY, is a significant upgrade over Kyle or Rex. The question is how is his health? It has been said he is completely recovered for this year. Is he totally healthy? If so, get him, if not, forget him. Report
August 7, 200817 yr comment_43109 we already have shitty QBs Yes, like we didn't know that already. Report
August 7, 200817 yr comment_43110 If he could stay healthy behind this horrible line, he would be the ideal fit for the Bears. He's a smart QB, with what has to be one of the NFL's bests career passing percentage of 65.6%. He would give the WR's a chance to grow and make them look better. Not to mention, he is only 32 and still has a few more good years left in him. Most importantly, his game would keep the O on the field and keep the chains moving, while letting the D rest. Report
August 7, 200817 yr comment_43116 I would say bring him in to at least look at him. I am not sure what he could possibly give us considering his health problems make Rex look good. Report
August 7, 200817 yr Author comment_43128 Watching the Bear pre-game they stated that the Bears weren't interested in Pennington at all. And to top that off, it's being said that they're going to enter the season with only 2 Quarterbacks /shrug Report

And to top that off, it's being said that they're going to enter the season with only 2 Quarterbacks /shrug Whoever says they will open with 2 QBs is an idiot. Especially given the history of cheech and chong here. Let me just say this. If they enter the season with Hanie on the PS, he'll be gone in the blink of an eye and we'll have lost a great talent and for that, I'd fire every asshole in this organization. Report

If they enter the season with Hanie on the PS, he'll be gone in the blink of an eye and we'll have lost a great talent and for that, I'd fire every asshole in this organization. If he continues to play the way he did yesterday, there is no way they will put him on the PS. He will be on the 53 man roster. As you stated, he will be snapped 'in the blink of an eye'. I wouldn't call him a great talent after 1.5 quarters against a 3rd string defense but he does show real potential. Peace Report
August 8, 200817 yr comment_43265 Agreed. If we see similar from Hanie in the next 3, he will be our #3...

August 8, 200817 yr comment_43321 Ain't that the truth! I just wish we has a coaching staff competent enough to develop him. Unfortunately, we don't. Yet.......... Report
August 8, 200817 yr comment_43327 No way on pennigton, His arm in Soldier field would be toast. He had problems in NY with outside play, him comming to the windy city would a disaster. Report

August 9, 200817 yr comment_43349 You know the nickname the Windy City has nothing to do with actual wind right? That depends on who you ask. I have heard everything from politics to weather. Report
August 9, 200817 yr Author comment_43351 I've had thoughts about the Bears trading for Troy Smith, but I doubt that'll ever happen. Seems like he'll be getting lots of action this preseason for the Ravens though. I think he's going to be a beast someday in the NFL. But we'll just have to wait and see. Booker for Smith gg Report
August 9, 200817 yr comment_43371 Pennington signed with Miami for 2 years 11.5 million. Far more money that I would have ever wanted to give him to wear a Bears uniform. Report
August 9, 200817 yr comment_43376 LOL, before this would have irked me. I was an advocate for getting a vet QB for 3rd string and send Hanie to the practice squad. Hell no, Hanie STAYS on the 53 man roster, he would be grabbed in a flash of the eye if the Bears tried that. He is definitely showing he is more than capable of being our #3 (if not our starter soon). He might be the QB we have been seeking for years. How ironic would it be that after all the QBs we have drafted and picked up as FAs that the best of the bunch might very well be an undrafted rookie from Colorado State. Too early to anoint him as our future savior at QB but it is fun to speculate. Report
August 9, 200817 yr comment_43391 The Bears will be drafting another QB next year, or bringing in a FA. If Hanie plays well throughout the preseason, and assuming Rex/Orton continue their average performance, my guess is they'll grab someone in the draft but not in Rd 1. In other words they'll take the less expensive route. Report
