Quinn was signed by the Kansas City Brigade of the Arena Football League (AFL) during the 2006–2007 offseason, but retired due to injury. At present, Jonathan is the offensive coordinator for MidAmerica Nazarene University in Olathe, Kansas.

Willis currently lives in Valrico, Florida, and is an industrial buyer for Commercial Metals of Tampa.

Burris is also known as "Smilin' Hank" for his broad, perpetual grin.

Stenstrom played in four NFL seasons from 1996–1999 for the Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers. He started several games for the Bears during the 1998 season, who finished that season a dismal 4-12.

The (now-defunct) website www.tradecade.com embodied the antipathy that had built up for McNown. Maintained by two Chicago-area tech industry workers, the website featured animation of McNown being yanked away by a giant crane, as well as a petition requesting that the Bears divest themselves of him.

Entering the 1993 Draft, he was hyped as the next Joe Montana. In 2008, Mirer was inducted into the Indiana Football Hall of Fame.

Will is known for creating jargon on the fly such as "nicheify", "nichefication", "badassification" and other terms that he uses frequently in his everyday speak as well as at presentations. In 2007, he even used "passion bucket" in a presentation in homage to Dan Patrick and Rick Neuheisel.

what the fuck is a "dare graduation"

Drug Abuse Resistance Education, better known as D.A.R.E. or DARE, is an international education program that seeks to prevent use of illegal drugs, membership in gangs, and violent behavior. D.A.R.E., which has expanded globally since its founding in 1983, is a demand-side drug control strategy of the U.S. War on Drugs. Students who enter the program sign a pledge not to use drugs or join gangs and are taught by local law enforcement about the dangers of drug use in an interactive in-school curriculum which lasts ten weeks.

at the end there is a graduation

"students who enter the program" = when the policeman comes to your classroom when you are in elementary school

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a0/Darelogo.gif

totally worked btw - never joined a gang

i didnt know DARE was something you could actually join, i just thought they like... made shirts.

for a minute there i wasnt sure if they were responsible for that special POWER PACK/SPIDERMAN comic about combating child abuse but i'm p sure that didnt fall under their purview~

After being demoted to the fourth-string quarterback spot (most teams keep three) on the depth chart, behind Orton, Jeff Blake, and Kurt Kittner, Hutchinson was released by the Bears on August 30, 2005.

(most teams keep three)

^^^ ouch

i didnt know DARE was something you could actually join, i just thought they like... made shirts.

getting the shirt is part of joining - its like a gang

later in high school i had the pleasure of wearing the shirt ironically

haha @ kurt kittner - HOMETOWN HERO

dare just showed up and a policeman talked about some bullshit, usually just about, like, weed, and then he'd leave and it was over. there wasn't a graduation! it was like maybe once a week, for a month. what the hell!

yah thats pretty much what it was like for me except at the end doug flutie showed up

High School Career

Kittner led Schaumburg High School to a bout in the Illinois Class 6A championship against Naperville Central High School. Schaumburg lost the game by a score of 56-31, but that isn't where Kittner's true lore was born. One day standing atop the steps of Schaumburg High School Kittner sat during a passing period as he spotted the car of the dreaded "Stealth Man". Kittner was no fool to Stealth's douchbagery and promptly made the best of the opprotunity that was presenting itself. After cooling taking a sip of his large soda from Taco Bell Kittner readied himself for the most improbable pass of his life. As Stealth Man tore through the parking lot at an estimated 47.3 mph Kittner took the now epic pose of the cup in his left hand and a pointing in the direct path of the speeding car. Leading the car pefectly Kittner blasted his Mountain Dew towards the oncoming villian (who by the way was speeding towards a line of newborns which were both concieved and born on site of this epic battle). The pop was a smashed promptly on the hood of Stealth Man's car causing the car to veer out of control and back on to Schaumburg Road and cleared a path that is now Braintree Lane. Thusly, pushing Kittner a step closer to becoming a God amongst boys.

we had some random heavy metal brought to our high school to talk about not doing drugs or something, they played some horrible music and were real skeevy.

i regret that i wasn't there the year they brought these guys though:
http://www.thepowerteam.com/

(note it was a public school so technically they could only talk about motivational stuff and not jesus)

was i absent the day doug flutie showed up or something because i'll be really pissed

haha i should mention that i grew up in the town that contains boston college

i don't remember where i even had dare classes but i've decided they took place in junior high and ergo i somehow missed out on charles barkley

DARE is popular and well-funded, at least in the United States. However, numerous scientific studies of the program report that D.A.R.E. does not actually decrease drug use among graduates. Some studies have even indicated that there is an increased rate of drug use among D.A.R.E. graduates. In 2001, the Surgeon General of the United States placed the D.A.R.E. program in the category of "Does Not Work"

So, obv., Flutie.

All we got was some cop, what a rip off.

chris fragile chandelier for lolrams reasons

McCown was rated the sixth best quarterback in the 2002 NFL Draft by NFLDraftScout.com.[35] He was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the third round of the 2002 NFL Draft, with the 81st overall pick, and was the fourth quarterback selected.[38] Dave McGinnis, the head coach of the Cardinals when McCown was drafted, later stated that McCown "had all the background essentials you really liked. And he's a fabulous athlete. If you were going to start a pickup basketball game in the building, he'd be one of your first choices."[39]

Chicago Bears[edit]
On April 30, 2016, Hoyer agreed to a one-year, $2 million contract with the Chicago Bears.[25] After an injury to starting quarterback Jay Cutler in Week 2, Hoyer started the Week 3 game against the Dallas Cowboys and threw for 317 yards and two touchdowns in a 31–17 loss.[26] The following week, Hoyer threw two touchdowns for 302 yards in a 17–14 victory over the Detroit Lions.[27] A week later in a 29–23 loss to the Colts, he threw for a career-high 397 yards, the most by a Bears quarterback since Jim Miller threw for 422 yards in 1999 and the fifth-most in Bears history. Hoyer also joined Josh McCown as the only Bears quarterbacks to throw for at least 300 yards in three straight games[28] and later became the first to do so in four consecutive games after throwing for 302 yards in a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.[29] Hoyer broke his left arm during the second quarter of a game against the Green Bay Packers on October 20, 2016.[30] He was placed on injured reserve on October 24, 2016 after having surgery on his left arm, and was reported to be out at least eight weeks.

San Francisco 49ers[edit]
On March 9, 2017, Hoyer signed a two-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers.[31]

Chicago Bears[edit]

Following an injury to the Bears' backup quarterback Brian Hoyer against the Green Bay Packers on October 20, Barkley made his first NFL appearance as a Chicago Bear, going 6 of 15 for 81 yards; he threw for zero touchdowns and two interceptions.[53] After Jay Cutler suffered a shoulder injury against the Giants, Barkley started the following week's game against the Tennessee Titans.[54] Barkley completed 28 of 54 passes for 316 yards with three touchdowns, two interceptions, and a 72.8 passer rating, nearly rallying the Bears from a 20-point deficit in the fourth quarter before losing 27–21.[55] Barkley earned his first NFL win the very next week on December 4, a 26–6 win over the San Francisco 49ers at Soldier Field.[56] He completed 11 for 18 passes for 192 yards, no touchdowns, no interceptions, and a 97.5 passer rating.[57] On December 18, Barkley completed 30 passes for 362 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions as the Bears nearly upset the Green Bay Packers, ultimately losing 30–27 on a last-second field goal.[58] Barkley struggled in the following week's game against the Washington Redskins, a 41–21 loss; although he threw for 323 yards and two touchdown passes, he also threw five interceptions, including on four consecutive drives in the second half. The five interceptions were the most by a Bears quarterback since Cutler threw five in 2009.[59]

San Francisco 49ers[edit]
On March 10, 2017, Barkley signed a two-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers.[63]

2014 season[edit]
New head coach Lovie Smith quickly announced that newly signed journeyman Josh McCown would be the starting quarterback for the upcoming 2014 season, leaving Glennon's future in Tampa Bay in question. On May 10, Smith stated while McCown would be the starter, Glennon was the Bucs' "quarterback of the future". That same day, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reported that the Bucs turned down at least six trade offers for Glennon during the 2014 NFL Draft.[7]

Glennon made his 2014 season debut Week 3 on Thursday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons. Glennon entered the game near the end of the first half, after McCown suffered a thumb injury. At the time of Glennon's entry into the game, the Bucs already trailed 35–0. Glennon completed 17 of 24 passes for 121 yards, 1 touchdown, and no interceptions. The Bucs lost the game 56–14.

With McCown unable to play due to his injury, Glennon started the next five games for the Bucs. The team lost all five games, and Smith then announced that McCown would reclaim the starting quarterback job for Week 10.

The Bucs finished the season a league worst 2–14, and 1–4 with Glennon as the quarterback. Glennon finished his second season campaign with an 83.3 passer rating. He completed 57.6 percent of his passes (117 of 203) for 1,417 passing yards, and threw 10 touchdowns and 6 interceptions.

2015 season[edit]
Glennon did not see any playing time during the 2015 season. He was the backup to the number one overall pick Jameis Winston.

2016 season[edit]
Glennon was the backup to Winston in 2016. After Winston suffered a knee injury midway through the fourth quarter of the Week 9 game against the Atlanta Falcons, Glennon entered and completed 10 of 11 passes for 75 yards and a touchdown.[8] Glennon also appeared in the Week 10 game against the Chicago Bears but did not record any statistics.[9]

Chicago Bears[edit]
On March 9, 2017, Glennon signed a three-year, $45 million contract with the Chicago Bears.[10]

ALL I GOT TO SAY TO BEARS FANS IS YOU SHOULD F'N WISH WE HAD ANDY DALTON THE PAST TEN YEARS.

Justin Fields 'might' and it is a big f'n might end up good but Andy Dalton would be the best QB in Bears history with his career numbers and that is a fact.

He did not play all that bad for a crap Dallas team with no training camp, getting Covid and hurt when he started out.

Just sayin' - lay off Opie, he's a pretty good dude.

Name the last Ohio State QB that was a decent pro... I'm just saying you won't like the answer as there has not been one.

Heck you can make and argument that Tomczak is the answer to the question as at least he played 15 seasons in the pros.

That's the truth!

write-in vote for Romy Madley Croft

Chase Daniel:

For the 2018 regular season, he served as the backup to Mitchell Trubisky. In week four, he saw action against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a trick play nicknamed "Willy Wonka", which had been designed by coach Matt Nagy and the quarterbacks and named by Daniel days before the game.[76][77] On the Buccaneers' three-yard line, Daniel joined Trubisky in the backfield in the shotgun formation. Before the play began, receiver Taylor Gabriel and tight end Trey Burton moved along the line of scrimmage to confuse the defense. Upon receiving the snap, Trubisky quickly pitched the ball forward to Gabriel on a shovel pass. Trubisky then faked a hand-off to Daniel as Gabriel scored the touchdown.[78]

Andy Dalton:

On March 17, 2021, the Bears signed Dalton to a one-year contract worth $10 million, and up to $13 million in incentives.[154] Dalton started the first two games before suffering a knee injury.[155] He was then relegated to the backup quarterback after Justin Fields was named the starter.[156] Against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11, Dalton entered the game in the third quarter after Fields left the game with a rib injury. Dalton threw for 201 yards and two touchdowns as the Bears lost 13–16.[157] In the 2021 season, Dalton passed for 1,512 yards, eight touchdowns, and nine interceptions in eight games.[158]

Nick Foles:

Foles was traded to the Chicago Bears in exchange for a compensatory fourth-round 2020 NFL Draft pick on March 31, 2020.[118] He competed with Mitchell Trubisky for the starting quarterback position during Training Camp, eventually losing and becoming the backup.[119]

great revive

I guess this is in honor of Mitch Trubisky being benched by a second club.

Got to say that one interception Mitchy threw this week was a straight up Sexy Rexy f'it i'm going deep toss.

Andy Dalton is still better than Justin Fields. OSU QBs are all false gold.

Some experts caution patience with Fields, saw one say being the Bears QB was “the worst position in football right now”, but even in that supposed context he’s looking lost. It’s just amazing to me how badly they whiff on QBs, every time out. The Browns whiffed on Mayfield when they could have gone with Josh Allen, but when he was on his game Mayfield was markedly better than Trubisky. Fields makes Trubisky look like Mayfield, though. I know it’s always hard to predict with these guys but you’d think they’d even accidentally draft a Mahomes once in awhile, or sign a backup who turns into a surprise star, but instead it’s just…*gestures upthread*

I really feel like evaluating QBs in their first few seasons has been skewed by some of the early success stories that happened in recent years, which prior to this decade, were pretty atypical. Dan Fouts took four years to get a starting job, Elway was terrible for four years, Chargers were ready to move on from Brees after 3, drafted his replacement, and he had his best season to that point in his 4th year.

part of it is how the rules have changed more and more over the years to benefit offense, but it's still very wild that we have Herberts and Dak Prescott type situations as often as we have (and yet we've also seen a lot of regression for QB wunderkids as well in subsequent seasons).

that said, the little I've seen of Fields hasn't impressed me much. I'm still of the belief a young QB should ride the pine his first year and learn from the bench and practice, with a journeyman to learn from as a starter.

There is that too. Probably the most ideal situation is the Green Bay method, to have an older QB who refuses to leave and draft your next stud and torture him by leaving him on the bench for several seasons.

It is hard to tell. No one really thought Dak Prescott would have been that good coming out of college. Then you got guys like Tony Romo or Kurt Warner that literally come out of nowhere.

I was curious to see how Mitch would do with the Steelers. It has been a while, but there used to be quite a few guys that seemed to figure it out way later.

Rich Gannon is one of those types who was a heck of an athlete but they seemed raw early in their career.

Gannon was a weird one, one of those dudes that was middling-to-'pretty good' at best for his entire career and then managed to become a stud in a defense-heavy era (I guess having Brown and Rice didn't hurt).

speaking of, football from 2000-2006 or so was sooooooooooo dire from an offensive standpoint, like, all offenses did back then was run one feature back into the ground, if you averaged 350 yards/game you were a league leading offense lmao. my Fins won their last playoff game in 2000 with Jay Fiedler, an offense that averaged under 300 yards/game and whose defense did all the scoring.

everyone used to say "the defenses are just that good" as a defense, but in that same era, you had no-name running backs putting up 1300-1400 yard seasons, and run defense was abysmal.

I really feel like NFL executives breathed a sigh of relief when Rodgers emerged as the next big stud because all of the greats of the 80s/90s were almost gone, and there weren't a whole lot of big name successors...and then Rodgers et al kind of brought on a QB renaissance, no doubt aided by the fact that rules continued to be bent towards the passing game, and teams realized their RBs that they ran 450 times a season had to retire by age 29, so they went back to RB by committee

I kinda think NFL is running out of the QBs to an extent. They had a window where they had all these guys (Big Ben, Mannings, Brees etc...)

While they have gotten a couple new elite ones, the drop off is probably more severe now than it's been and there is more middling in the Qb game.

I think that is where Shanahan is pretty smart with the Niners. He's got an offense that kinda works without not having to have the Ferrari Qb.

yeah we've started to start cycling through another weak era. we won't see an era like 2000-2006 again, but definitely more teams than in years past with QB issues. lots of QBs who were one year wonders and fell off too.

Gannon is sort of the Dave Stewart of football: a journeyman who suddenly becomes this late-emerging stud. There was that four year stretch where he was the best around.

I do think the Bears should give Fields a slightly longer leash, this season is a write off and his situation is so bad, they have to be fair to him and keep expectations maybe not “low” but realistic. I’m still not really that hopeful, though.

I'm really surprised the player's union hasn't lobbied for a rule that QBs can't be drafted, they just openly negotiate on open market so they're free to go to a team that doesn't get them sacked 50 times their first year and use up their brain and body up before they even started

It would be the "David Carr rule"

Hmm 🧐

Ok, so he maybe can play a little bit. It would figure the Bears offense would start scoring 30 a game when the defense gives up 35+ a game.

Most rushing yards in a single game by a QB ever, wow

Didn’t know where else to put this but everyone is excited about the release of Cocaine Bear

https://abc7chicago.com/amp/sam-hurd-released-release-date-chicago-bears/12868402/

Nathan Peterman

On January 4, 2023, Peterman was named the starter for the Week 18 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, replacing Justin Fields who was ruled out for a sore hip. Peterman threw for 114 yards and a touchdown in the 29-13 loss.

2023 season

Peterman was re-signed to a one-year deal on March 31, 2023.[91] He was then released as part of the final roster moves for the Bears on August 29.[92] However, the Bears re-signed Peterman to the active roster on August 31.[93] He was named the second-string option behind starter Justin Fields and ahead of undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent, beating out veteran PJ Walker for the role.[94] On September 20, Peterman was cut for a second time.[95] The next day, he was again re-signed.[96] However, he was demoted to third string before Week 4, in favor of an increasingly impressive Bagent.[97]

the increasingly impressive Tyson Bagent

Bagent made his NFL debut for the Bears against the Minnesota Vikings on October 15 after Fields left the game with an injury.[42] He completed 10-of-14 passes for 83 yards, with one rushing touchdown, a fumble and an interception en route to a 19–13 loss.[42] Due to Fields's injury, Bagent would be announced as the starter for the Bears Week 7 game against the Las Vegas Raiders.[43] He completed 21-of-29 passes for 162 yards, rushed 24 yards, and also threw one passing touchdown in a 30–12 win.[44] It was then announced that Bagent would again be the starter for Week 8 against Los Angeles Chargers.[45] On Sunday Night Football, Bagent went 25-of-37 for 232 yards, two interceptions and also had a rushing touchdown in the 30–13 loss.

don't want to forget Trevor Siemian

On March 29, 2022, Siemian signed a two-year contract with the Chicago Bears.[94] Siemian made his Bears debut in a 29-49 loss to the Dallas Cowboys going 1 of 1 for 5 yards.[95]

After Justin Fields suffered an injury in the Week 11,[96] Siemian was given his first start as a Bear in Week 12 against his former team, the New York Jets. Siemian suffered an oblique injury during pregame warmups. The Bears initially announced their third-string quarterback, Nathan Peterman, would start the game,[97] but Siemian still made the start. He completed 14 of 25 passes for 179 yards, while throwing a touchdown and an interception in a 31–10 loss.[98]

On December 3, Siemian was placed on injured reserve to undergo season-ending surgery to repair his oblique injury.[99][100]

Siemian was released on March 16, 2023, after the Bears signed P. J. Walker.

really felt like Rex had the biggest potential to be "the guy" and then just couldn't get out of his own way.

it was just wild seeing the initial excitement about Grossman when he returned from his injury and started playing in 2005 and then the first few games of 2006 and then he has that one terrible game against Arizona and it seemed like he became that guy instead rather than just moving on from it.

but prior to that game he looked like a world-beater! still got them to the Super Bowl that year, but boy were they limping in

actually kind of amazing, he posted QB ratings of 98.6, 148, 100.5, 101.2 in four of his first five games.

In his last 11, he posted: 10.2, 36.8, 23.7, 1.3, 0.0

and yet every other game he played well, lol. very feast or famine

Kyle Orton's a dude who could never hold onto the job nowadays. even in this bad QBing season, you couldn't rely on the run game and defense as much as he had to.

that list makes me feel like *I* have CTE. did Dalton, Foles, and Siemian really start games for the Chicago Bears? I do not remember that at all.

I remembered Dalton. did not remember the other two

I do remember Dalton signing with them but forgot he actually started the season instead of Fields. now that I think about it he got hurt pretty quickly.

"he got hurt pretty quickly" seems to be the fate of everyone who lines up behind center in Chicago.

the biggest indictment of Bears QBs is to look at every single one objectively and ask if they were a disappointment or if they were surprisingly not bad. and the list of "better than expected" is basically only Grossman, Orton, and Kramer. And the best QB on the list is *still* Cutler, who has to be filed under "disappointment".

Is this the Chicago Bears thread? I watched the first episode of Hard Knox last night. I am back and forth between optimistic and almost sure this will be the last year I follow NFL.

you'd really think a Bears QB would have even accidentally thrown 30 TDs in a season by this point

fun stat I saw brought up when someone was joking about Rodgers joining the Bears:

Aaron Rodgers' 2024 season would have broken the Chicago Bears yardage record, tied for the second most TDs ever, and also would have been one of the best TD/INT ratios ever recorded for them too

of course this isn't to say Rodgers' 2024 was sneakily good but rather the fact that there are like 5-8 QBs every year who have seasons that would've shattered Bears records, which is crazy given this franchise is over 100 years old. like Sam D'Arnold's year would've been the greatest Chicago QB season in history by a wide margin

A QB who throws for 4000 yards and 30 TDs?

No sir , not on my Bears you don't

lol

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45161794/caleb-williams-sought-way-going-chicago-bears

every Bears fan out there has gotta know that he's right but even still how do you cheer for a guy who says he'd much rather be on the Vikings
