Does anyone care that Marshall has a borderline personality disorder?

 

Hopefully Lovie and Jay can keep him under control. I think it's a gamble you have to take.

I like Jason Campbell but I do worry that the Bears apparently made that a high priority. What percent of promising NFL seasons are ruined because the backup QB isn't good enough? Maybe 1 out of every 200 across the league?

 

I mean you are making a high priority of a position that if all goes well won't play the entire season. I understand the value of it, and its a nice luxury to have, but that's all it is, a luxury.

 

As long as they don't spend too much time/resources persuing this backup QB, whether it be Campbell or someone else, I guess I'm ok with it.

Could probably add the Texans in there. Granted they still stumbled into the post-season, but with Schaub they could have made a deep run of it.

Completely forgot about their qb injury stretch

Yea that one became an exercise in the absurd.

Wow Garcon actually got a better contract with the Skins that Colston did with the Saints.

 

Colston would have gotten a ton if he didn't go back to the Saints on the cheap.

The Colts? Their season was ruined because they lost Peyton Manning, it didn't matter who the damn back up was. The Chiefs weren't good because they went after the wrong "franchise" QB in the first place, then lost Orton as well. The Eagles lost because Vick is incapable of being good for 16 games a season, not because of Vince Young. Houston lost because they went through a half dozen injuries at the position, not because they had an incompetent backup.

Colts were heading downwards and getting worse every year, but I guess I'll give you that.

 

The Eagles season didn't get derailed because Vick was hurt, they lost plenty of games with him in there, and Vince Young didn't really have any less success. The Chiefs were mediocre to begin with and were already under .500 when Cassell went down.

 

When Cutler went down the Bears were 7-3 and on fire. People were talking about them as a legit contender. That changed the whole season. But that just doesn't happen too often where a star QB goes down midway through a contender's season and the backup QB isn't good enough to keep them going.

 

All I'm saying is that its not worth investing resources that should go to other positions that actually make an impact every week. I'd personally rather draft a QB somewhere later in the draft and resign McNown, but again I don't mind Campbell at all, he's pretty good for a backup.

Right but they were using their 3rd string QB because their starter and backup went down. There was not much of an opportunity for their backup to prove he could keep the Texans going strong. If you lose your starter and backup, well that's just unfortunate and no one would ever consider making sure you have a good 3rd string.
