Read the column by David Haugh that I posted Alex and I can tell you in all honesty that my thoughts about it had been developed last night long before I read Haugh's column. The idea that Sanchez can or will be any kind of effective mentor for a rookie QB is simply a spin the Bears want to send out to cover this decision.If you actually believe Glennon and Sanchez are a better pair than Cutler and Hoyer were well then you do. I don't. I see this as just one more example of an offensive tear down and stepping backwards not forwards. Sanchez is not a capable NFL QB and he's proven that. He was basically a #3 in Dallas only because of Romo's injury. Without that he's not even there.
Even the Broncos rejected having him around as a mentor to their two young QBs and yet you want to believe he's ideal for that role here? Come on brother. He's one of the last guys I'd think you'd want in that role. Gimme McCown any day over Sanchez but we didn't want to pay a backup $6 mil even won whose played some good ball for us in the past.
What do I buy? I buy that Sanchez is little more than a vet security blanket for John Fox who would most likely break out in hives if he had to play with Glennon, Shaw, and whichever rookie we draft. Even if that was a smarter plan as far as evaluating young QBs go it's not the way Fox wants it so once again Pace is manipulated into doing what Fox wants not what's best for the Bears long term.
This is what I see but if others don't that's fine. I'm only positing my viewpoint with no demands or even expectations that anyone else accept it.
Fox and Loggains are at the root of that problem and IMHO hiring Mark Sanchez as a vet backup/mentor is beyond dumb but then it's the Bears and we've gone beyond dumb so many times in the past that it's basically become their fall back position.
