Enderle ahead of Hanie is crap

 

Martz on Hanie:

 

"There are sometimes when he's missing some throws that he shouldn't because he's just not setting himself right," Martz told the Tribune last week. "What he's doing with his eyes (and) technical stuff … the only way you fix it is by playing."

 

I don't have a problem with Enderle getting a few of Hanie's snaps in week 2 and Hanie being pressured to improve. It's not like Caleb is the future of this organization or likely to stay around very long anyway. But going into the season, he's got to be the primary backup.

Hanie needs to get as many reps with the second team as possible. its not like the NFL gave each team an extra 2 weeks of practice this year. giving reps to the rookie who doesnt show super-man talent makes zero sense

Enderle is Noodle-Armed Shane Matthews #2

It's one day. I don't think Hanie needs as many as possible. Cutler needs as many as possible, and if he goes down the team is screwed regardless. There's nothing wrong with a few days of Enderle eating into Hanie's reps.

Lets not pretend that Hanie is some prized stallion here.

At this point, I have to assume that Hanie just isn't the prototypical Martz QB, or Martz just doesn't like him. Looking at what we know: Martz asked for a veteran QB to backup Cutler at the end of camp last year, when Todd Collins looked absolutely washed up against Carolina and was demoted to 3rd string, it was Martz that lobbied for Collins to go back to backup QB, and was quietly moved, after Collins first drive in the NFC title game, where he showed he had nothing left, he was still allowed to come out for a 2nd possession before Hanie came in. Also, not sure how much of this was Martz's decision, but the Bears have drafted late round QB's in the last 2 drafts despite having Cutler and Hanie in place.

The funny thing is that Martz said something yesterday about Enderle not getting any reps and that he needed some, but then there is a quote from Enderle floating around where he said that because Hanie was a veteran FA and couldnt practice with the team for a few days after signing, Enderle got a ton of reps. He even said he got more reps than he ever imagined he would. Now obviously since Hanie has been on board, his reps had pretty much completely gone away, but to say he hasn't gotten any reps this camp is not true.
