Dan's flawed thought process is that Trestman will make any backup as good as McCown so they should only pay a backup 850k.

That coach in Green Bay was thought to have a great offensive system. A great offensive mind. How has he looked in the last three games with his backups? Answer: 0-3.

Bernstein:

Beardown: Yeah.

You're leaving out the very important point that a non-lawyer is coaching that team.

Wait, why does it matter who the back up is anyway, good or bad. Isn't one of Lil Dannys tenets that if your back up qb is starting , the season is over ?

That was his stance prior to the ascendance of Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick.

Sorry , I mustve missed that 180 . Theres so many of them its hard to keep track.

I want this documented to bring up later. I'll bump this after free agency in the NFL is over.

1.5 million is the average salary of backup QBs. Bernstein said let him go if he wants that.

He's making 850k right now. To not resign a good backup because of a 650k pay raise is insane. A backup that can get you wins in 2 or 3 games if you need it. Over 650k? What? That's the difference in playoffs or not. That's not gonna kill your salary cap. Bernstein wouldn't do it. That's what he said. Wow. He actually went further and said the Bears wouldn't do it. His exact words, for the record.

He called callers stupid. Dismissed them. BERNSTEIN IS DUMB AS HELL IF HE THINKS THIS IS THE RIGHT DECISION. Dumb ass Boers went along with that thinking as well. Cuz that's what Boers does.

Now, when he's resigned at this figure, and I believe it will be a little bit more, Bernstein will deny saying this. So will Boers.

We'll bring this thread back in February or March.

i dont think you sign mcowen for 800k more because hes not going to get a hell of a lot better. if he wants to play for $20k over minimum, thats fine. hell i will be nice and give him 25k over. but 2 years? fuck that he can sign a game to game contract after next year #OLD FUCKER

"Hell of a lot better" Better than what??? The guy is 2-0 and almost pulled the Bears ass out of the fire in the other 2 games he releived! I just want him to keep doing what he is doing!

Him being 2-0 doesn't mean shit to a tree ... Craig Krenzel started out 3-0.

Except this guy looks 100x better than motherfucking Craig Krenzel.

I like what Trestman has done so far, but he's no genius although being a smart guy and actually giving good answers in his press conferences. His Time-Out strategy was flawed, despite talking long about it in long form (which to guys like Holmes/Bernstein meant the answer was somehow valid)
