People keep referring to it in the same light as what sea did when they traded for a qb drafted a qb, had another one and ran an open compition.
If the bears pull the trigger on a qb by rd 3 that could be the case and it would be a good offseason
I'm not sure about a QB at #3, but with 2nd or 3rd round & Glennon we could end up being better. I like the Day 2 QBs more than I like the Day 1 QBs for the value and what it takes to get them. Draft a stud D Player and have open competition at QB
Ian RapoportVerified account @rapsheet 27m27 minutes ago More When Mike Glennon’s deal is finalized with #Bears, it’s expected to be 3 years for an average of $14.5M, source says. Will still draft a QB

Good to know we are still drafting a QB but wish they would have kept it quiet. Might also be misdirection. If they do, I wonder where.
Erik Lambert@eriklambert1 Several teammates, coaches and others swear by his talent and work ethic. People who actually have worked with him. That says a lot. #Bears
Why does one have to keep you from doing the other? And how do you know for certain Glennon will not get better here? I don't know that...how do you know that?
Because this team cannot protect a pocket passer. I'd bet against it (improvement) and it would be great if the bears drafted a QB too, but why pay someone 14-15 mil a year and have Leno on his blind side, no #1wr to throw to and your best Te on the wrong side of 30?
I'm waiting on the draft to see how Pace plays it; is this about getting talent on the roster or reaching to plug holes. In two drafts, I am not clear on what he's up to thanks in no small part to the bears having a need everywhere when Pace arrived. All our best players were on 2nd contracts at best, except AJ. One year left there, then franchised now a FA.
If we draft a QB before rd4, they'll need reps. Pair him with a T and let him figure out how to play under center/ read pro zones. I don't see why you do that and sign Glennon. Glennon comes in to start and this team has plenty of back ups floating around.
Well thats not true. The Bears were 7th in the league in pass protection this year. They can protect a pocket passer. Hoyer and Barkely are pocket passers. When the QB goes through his progressions and gets the ball out on time and doesn't hold onto it forever the Bears are near the top 5...thats just a fact. As for the receiver issue...as it stands right now it's an issue for sure, and I have been pretty vocal in how I felt Pace has dealt with AJ...but it looks like I'm about to be proven wrong and huh...what do ya know...a guy employed by an NFL team has a better idea of how to do his job than I do...what are the odds?
I don't see this as the final move at QB, and I don't think a 3 year deal keeps them from drafting a QB high in this draft and that QB coming in and competing...and if that QB is better I don't think it keeps that QB from starting.

after these reports, 2 days ago, I thought too that Pace played his cards great with AJ. Now, im not so sure, have a feeling he could end up in Philly or Tennesse...

Still think he played it right regardless. At least in retrospect. We still have to be competitive and he still needs to want to be here. If we keep him it's a bonus. I think everyone felt we would lose him if he hit free agency
