I don’t think it’s a bad move. He’s the best of the underwhelming QBs available.

 

[packerzrule]

Wow, 1 step forward, 2 steps back.

The Bears D was stout without signing Quinn - money that could have been used to acquire a better QB

Just spit ballin here

It's not awful....it's just blah.

Maybe he makes them better? I don't know.

 

[beardown07]

He's better than Daniel.


I wanted Carr.

 

[Jiddy]

Sigh.

Trubisky buries us for a half decade will be the look back story.

Who isn't?

 

[BsGenius]

I like this move. For a comp 4th, not bad.

 

[Beengay fudgepackers]

He’s a good back up and has the ability to win a super bowl. I’ll take him.

I predict more pain and Trubisky starts next season.

 

[DJ]

Great signing of Quinn to an already excellent defense.

Foles is a solid backup and starter if Trubs struggles....

Big Dick Nick!

As in you think Foles will get hurt or that it's worthless to pick him up?

Foles will get hurt.

Foles not being all that good to begin with (albeit better than what we were throwing out there last year) is not setting the bar nearly high enough.

 

[cwalke3408]

Only for a 4th? (Unless I’m missing something).
I’m not mad

We'd all like something better, but there's only so much that could be done. Pace went all-in on Mitch so he built the team up around him. Looks like a bad move in hindsight so the ability to pivot is limited.

If Foles recaptures some magic he had in Philly, it could be a baller move to get Foles. We just don't know yet. It's possible that Foles wins the job (or just gets handed the job) which finally lights a fire under Mitch's ass... then Foles gets hurt allowing Mitch to step in and finally realize some of that potential en route to a playoff run or something. Stranger things have happened: like Foles looking like Tom Brady while leading the Eagles to a championship.

At least Trubs will have serious competition in camp, if they have camp. That's all I can ask for at this point considering the remaining FA qb's.

A good signing provided he can stay healthy. I guess they kicked Trubisky to the curb.

The Bears seem to have moved on from Trubisky.

Maybe, maybe not. Considering Foles' injury history and career mostly as a backup, it'd be wise to have a wide open competition and let the best man take the job, whoever it is. If that's Foles then great, or if it's Trubisky then fine. The hope is that the competition makes both better, not that one wins the job because the other sucks worse.
