Opinion: So long Mark Sanchez, enjoy your time in Chicago

[_sturt_]

With Hoyer gone, and with our bye week, have to think Jerry might get a call from Chicago GM tonight or first thing tomorrow morning. Even if they don't anticipate Romo being available for PHI, sounds like CLE is in the plan, and surely we can make do with Showers as the back-up for one game in exchange for a Bears draft pick.... no?

 

[Joe Realist]

No, they should tank and get top 5 pick or accept potential trade for Romo in off-season.

 

[Passepartout]

Well wonder if the Bears will give Sanchez a call? He may have had one heck of a 2016. Starting with the Eagles, then Broncos, third Cowboys, and possibly the Bears?!

 

[poost]

I thought Cutler was scheduled to come back this season.

 

[_sturt_]

Think you're right, but per what Nantz and Simms just said, it's an unknown and fwiw, they think they'll go find another QB rather than stick with the 3rd stringer.

 

[Tabascocat]

No reason to trade picks away, Chicago isn't even sniffing the playoffs.

 

[jday]

No, they should tank and get top 5 pick or accept potential trade for Romo in off-season.

But isn't that the same thing as trading for Sanchez?

Yah. Romo is gonna go play for the Bears OL. Seriously.

This. The Bears are rebuilding and aren't going anywhere this year anyway. I don't see them trading future draft resources away for a lost season.

Showers is a safety now or something.

 

[MRV52]

I've always been a greedy prick.

I say screw the other teams, I'm not giving them life by trading Sanchez for some 6th rounder.

I would give the Bears Sanchez for a bottle of this any day.

 

[DFWJC]

I thought Cutler was scheduled to come back this season.

I think so

Anyway, the Bears will be 1-6 after tonight.
Season is long over already.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

They have a bunch of Mark Sanchez's on their roster why would they trade for another?

 

[Deep_South]

We need Sanchez as insurance to back up Dak in case Tony goes down.

 

[Redball Express]

This.

Chicago needs to clear off their injured starters salary first.

Then draft a QB with a top 3 pick.

Then they must decide if they are going to finish cleaning house of the vets remaining and go for a youth movement entirely.

The other thing is..if they draft a QB.

they need a new OC to make it work.

That's a lot of change.

 

[BAT]

Like the plan, not sure of the execution.

 

[DTown214]

I'll give them Sanchez, McFadden, and Jeff Heath for Leonard Floyd. I'll even give them Kellen Moore if they throw in Alshon Jeffrey.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

...surely we can make do with Showers as the backup?

Right you are mate!
What could possibly go wrong?

 

[waving monkey]

We need Sanchez as insurance to back up Dak in case Tony goes down.

always remember Leary

 

[RS12]

LOL! What? Mark Sanchez the guy who couldnt beat out Simien? You couldnt get a used jock strap for the guy.
