A few quick thoughts for Tuesday morning. If we look at the Bears Depth Chart take a look at the Bears QB spot and you will find as expected Jay Cutler is the starter. Behind him is Caleb Hanie and, and, and? No and, that’s it. Just two Bears QBs on the roster. So what if the worst happens? What if Both Jay and Caleb go down in one game? Who comes in at QB? The Bears no longer have Marty Booker, who has filled the emergency QB roll for the team in the past. So who takes over?
Well if the worst happens I think the Bears will run a mix of the “’Cane,” their version of the wildcat, with Hester or they will have Forte take over as QB. If Forte played QB, he showed enough awareness to throw the ball away on a half back pass this preseason, I think he would be competent enough to make the defense respect the fact he might throw, compared to run every play. I can’t think of any other WR’s or TE or anybody who the Bears would hand over the offense to if the worst would happen. Let me know what you think.

I don't know, I guess Forte would be the guy. However, we could always try out Brian Urlacher since he is big and fast.
ReplyDeleteBear in mind also, Basanez is on the practice squad, so if they were concerned before a game they could always just activate him.
ReplyDeleteThat said, Forte looked pretty good throwing that ball away. But I'd rather see the "hike it to Devin and see what happens" offense, personally.
