The Tribune has the knives out for Glennon, too; David Haugh (who isn't their Bears beat guy, but the guy who writes their "big" football stories) had a piece drop last night saying Glennon's done nothing to deserve the starting job and the Bears are actively tanking if they start him in Week 1.

I'm the kick to Glennon's chops by his own teammate while he's trying to run the guy down.

That tweet is wrong. We all knew that any QB *available to the Bears* was going to make Bears fans miss Cutler.

Trubisky looks great against other teams' 2nd and 3rd string defense in the preseason. Start him in the regular season against regular starters on D and he will come crashing to earth.

Or maybe he'll be fine, as he's currently throwing to our garbage tier WR's(as opposed to the first string WR's who are merely bad) and being protected by our bad third string defensive line.

It's why he really really should get some reps with the first team offense in the third quarter the next preseason game.

He could and likely will suck, but I'd prefer the potential to not suck that Trubinsky gives over the 100% guaranteed sucking Glennon provides.

I forgot that John Fox is the guy who refuses to play rookies. Soldier field is going to explode with rage when Glennon and Sanchez both suck and Fox refuses to put in Trubisky.

It will just build expectations/anticipation for Trubisky, and then when he finally plays and is just mediocre-to-bad... oh man!

I honestly don't give a fuuuck about the McCaskey's money

It's a one year 18 million dollar deal essentially and the Bears had a poo poo ton of cap space, I don't care that they took a dumb flier on a likely bad QB.

I just don't want to see him now that I know he's bad.

The Bears still have cap space on the books lol, They had an insane amount of space this year. Think only the Browns had more.

IIRC they are still 18-20 mill under the cap.

They aren't going to have any issues extending their good players.

Hockey is still fourth here despite what the Wild would try to make you believe. The only reason they seem to outperform the Wolves is because the last time the Wolves were in the playoffs the Sonics still existed.
