Terrence Mitchell also got the axe from the practice squad.
#Bears have waived QB Jimmy Clausen and promoted QB David Fales to active roster.

If Gase or McCoy is the OC, I think they could get a lot of use out of Kaepernick, should they need to use the backup QB in games.

As a former star collegiate pitcher, I'd bet that he could throw a football better than Clausen

Honestly, if they were worried about another team looking at Fales, then they should have had him in that 2nd game Cutler was injured for instead of Jimmy.

Well obviously some other team was going to sign him or they would not have promoted him. That team or teams forced the Bears hand and I agree, should have started Fales instead of Clausen (especially after his showing against the Cardinals).

Bye Bye to our tank captain. We had 0-16 aspirations with him out there.

Why you guys are talking about Cutler throwing an interception or 2 in this thread is beyond me...
Fales gets promoted and Clausen waived because a) Clausen sucks b) someone is interested in poaching Fales off our practice squad
The way Cutler is playing for Gase he will be here as the starter passed this season, you realise this right?

That's only if nobody offers him a starting job. There are some really bad QB's out there. Teams so desperate they will view Kapernick as a possible starter. If he gets no starter type contract offers then he would look for a backup job with the best possibility to potentially start, frequently injured or QB's on a short leash. The Bears might fit into that category.
The whole thing becomes meaningless if the 49'ers find a trading partner, I can't see that happening. If you guys think the cutler contract is bad take a look at this turd:

A 23M cap hit in 2020, $61,000,000 guaranteed? I can't imagine anyone wanting that.

While I think they have intentions of drafting a QB if they can get the right one at a spot, this has nothing to do with it. They were playing experience over ability with Clausen and made the correct decision on Fales when they had to. Emery did the same thing last year when SD and NE came sniffing. He just didn't cut Clausen.

#49ers and #Ravens tried to sign QB David Fales before #Bears promoted him from practice squad to 53 man roster.
