Quote:

When John Fox was trying to grumble his way out of the Panthers prior to the 2010 season, they drafted him a quarterback he didn’t really want.

So naturally, now that the poor kid’s not a helpless rookie any more, Fox likes him.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Bears are re-signing free agent quarterback Jimmy Clausen.

Clausen was 1-9 as a starter for Fox on that magnificent 2-14 Panthers team, and hadn’t played since before the Bears signed him as a clipboard holder, who eventually appeared in four games.

Fox didn’t necessarily having anything against Clausen in 2010, he just didn’t want to be held hostage to the last year of his contract, and prefers older to younger in almost every decision.

Maybe now the Bears can also add free agents Matt Moore and Brian St. Pierre, and Fox can collect the whole set of question marks from the final season of his first job.

So would you rather have Cutler or Jimmy as the Bears starting QB?

If Clausen can lead them to 2-14 and the first overall draft pick...

One of the greatest characters to ever post here.

Pickles was much funnier than this duo here.

You two are like the old men from the Muppetts.

Hopefully they saw the potential to lose just about every game if he is the starting qb. Jimmy Clausen may be the key to getting the top pick in the 2016 draft and is therefore already a strong contender for MVP!

I jumped in the car after a meeting with a customer earlier and turn on 670 to hear someone ask Dan and Terry if clausen could be the starting quarterback next year and immediately Terry says no no no, then Dan says he thinks the answer to that question is probably maybe, then Terry proceeds to completely agree with Dan and the possibility of Claussen being the quarterback because what difference does it make next year.
I used to like Terry when he had a sack and some fight in him. He is just pathetic now.

Jimmy Clausen = Chuy Garcia

Cutler = Rahm

Jimmy may end up as the Bears starting QB this year. The Bears won a whopping games with Cutler last year and with Fox likely to run the ball more they might be able to get away with Jimmy for 1 year.

They were a bottom 3rd team last year with Cutler. I wouldnt be surprised if the Bears won more games next year with Claussen.

To paraphrase Berns - "how does that get them closer to a championship"? If your argument was that the Bears would get a higher draft pick with Clausen I'd actually agree.

Next year doesnt matter and I want Cutler the hell out of here.
