Prescott said 'Sanchez taught him the most'. I don't want to discount that loving act too much, but that isn't his job. His full-time job is to be ready to step in and win that week's game. I've never heard of a team signing a QB to play backup and coach. If you have some sources that say different, post us a link, and I'll check it out.
Like I said, conventional wisdom is Shaw is safe on PS, but Fales didn't do as well as Shaw, and Bears had to bring him into the 53-roster to keep NE from taking him. I don't think you usually get a 'warning'. My main point is I'd rather develop & play Shaw than Sanchez as my backup. I haven't heard any argument why the opposite is better.

You mean the ten page "Sanchez WTF?!" thread? This thread isn't an analysis thread of the '10 pages of WTF reactions'. This the analysis thread of the Sanchez signing. Pretty damn big difference there. I don't want to wade through 10 pages of "WTF reactions". Not interested.

He also got to a SB with Delhomme.
Not a super Fox fan but the QB thing isn't why.
Here's a thing. Fox's M.O. has been to keep the O kinda conservative and move chains until he lulls you up and takes a big chunk. Loggains likes to go downfield as well and we didn't have anyone but Jay that had a shot at playing that game even if late and meh with throws. Hoyer just abandoned the deep ball as it only got him in trouble and Barkley was so gung ho that he tried to write checks his body couldn't catch when he had options in the flat. Glennon can operate everything in this O. He may not be the greatest QB in the league but he's fully functional in that he doesn't lose games and can make a throw when needed which everyone should be happy about after what's been going on here. It's not his fault that he isn't Watson or Trubisky. I don't get hating on the best option available just because we want the next great hope to be drafted.
Sachez signing was just dirty but if he's a 3rd stringer at the end of the season, he was a great addition. He's sucks but he's got a playoff record of 4-2 with a 94+ passer rating. His regular season stats are very similar to Josh McCown and we signed him for the price of Matt Barkley.

I believe that we'll have to protect Shaw if we want to keep him and he's in full participation. We paid Sanchez enough that we could wave him at final cuts and bring him back. He's less likely to be claimed at that nut and it could be prearranged we re-sign him at his current rate to keep him if desired.
Playing devil's advocate in this thread to keep it interesting.

If the bears draft a QB high, Sanchez is gone. The only good thing about the signing is we do not know how good Connor Shaw is moving with the devastating leg injury.
Sanches dropped back to throw 18 times last season, two were intercepted, he was sacked twice. He has held onto the ball too long his entire career. There really is no logic to signing him, other than fans crying there is no recognizable name on the QB roster.

Not to sound geh but they clearly signed Sanchez because he has a nice face. So he can balance out Napoleon Dynamite Giraffe in the team photo.

You're right, we could cut Sanchez, but he has 1 mil guaranteed. I would certainly do it if necessary. But probably not something we'd expect, or that Pace would plan on likely doing. One mil in the NFL these days ain't a ton, but it's still weighty.
Maybe they could call Tonya Harding to see to it Sanchez went on IR>
As a devil's advocate, I think you're supposed to disagree with me more. :-v
Thanks, Pickman! Totally agree. I don't think Shaw is safe on PS.

Hopefully he was throwing the whole time and got a stronger arm by throwing without his legs.

Or his signing is to push Shaw to win the Back up QB position???....
