Caleb Hanie For President



So I was skimming SI.com and found this article by the mostly enjoyable Don Banks about backup QBs.

Guess who is dead last in his rankings of backup QBs, that's right, Caleb Hanie. The man people wanted to see start at QB last year for the Bears. I personally love Caleb Hanie, but I understand this ranking. He's never played a down, he didn't have that much hype in college or coming out of college like Smith, Young or Lienhart. Still, I like Caleb and think he's going to be a fine backup QB. Saying that, would I be terrified if Cutler is unable to play, you bet I would.

    I, too, am a big fan of Caleb Hanie. Can he really be that much worse than whats his face on the Colts? Sorgi? Anywho, irrelevant. Caleb Hanie = Mr. Awesome. However, I would never want to see Cutler injured in order for Hanie to play b/c its highly unlikely that Hanie is anywhere NEAR even a jock scratch of Cutlers. With that said, I was hoping Orton would get injured so we could see Hanie dominant!

    I just watched Hanie play in the preseason game against the Giants, and I have to say, he didn't do terribly bad...much better than I thought he would. I haven't even heard of him before this game, and now he's become one of my favorite players, not to mention I think he's absolutely adorable. :]
