Somewhere, Mick has just recieved a newsbit on his phone.

Somewhere, Mick is reviewing highlight film of David Fales.

Somewhere, Mick is ordering his customized David Fales jersey.

Perhaps, to make room for a Jimmy Garoppolo trade? :shrug:

Oddly, i think this is a sign were thinking about drafting a QB. Probably want to see what False can do in practice and possibly in a game to evaluate him. I'd actually be surprised if he's the back up next year so i have to assume were opening up the roster spot to give him a chance to prove himself.

Great news, don't know what Fales really is yet but Claussen is terrible. With nothing to lose this year it's great to give Fales a look if Cutler gets injured or we are in a blowout.

Still need to draft a QB at some point in 2016 draft and develop a good backup and potential starter down the road. Nice to see Fales should be part of that competition.

I would have to guess that other team was the Ravens after the Flacco injury. Good call to keep Fales over worthless Clausen. Long overdue move.

That meant Trestman probably had his fingers in the cookie jar. Just a thought here .....but if Fales fails how about Kapernick as a backup next year. Sure better than Clausen.

Rumors are the Ravens were interested post Flacco injury...and the Bears didn't want to lose him.

Wouldn't Trestman be more interested in Clausen? Well, he got his wish. Still hate typing that name (T-word) - piece of garbage coach.

Ive never cared about looks of Bear players, but he always had that "I got an F on my report card" face, which i hated. So glad Trestman's showerboy is gone.

Guess, at this point it doesn't really matter. If the Bears think Fales show's actual promise, then it is a good move, because with Clausen, you get what you got.

I am stunned it took so long.
After seattle, it was crystal clear that Clausen was a wasted roster spot.
They could have put Long in as a backup qb and it would bewilder me less than seeing Clausen come out.

Thought this move would have been done much earlier as well. Good bye, Jimmy. You were the weakest link.
