Last time Trevor Siemen won a game as a NFL starter......2017.
He's not good.

I thought he played ok as a back last year. He had zero defense backing him up. He's just a backup...we aren't going to get consistent starter material in that position

I’m not thrilled with Foles but yes I prefer him to simien. Now if we can get even a 6th for Foles I’ll understand the move. I also very much like the contract especially for next year, that’s a bargain price backup qb.

Nobody is paying anything for Foles.

I want everybody to go through the nfl teams and see how many could expect the backup to step in and win a few games...it's probably like 4 or 5 teams. Bears can barely win games with the qb1, I wouldn't be too concerned about the backup right now

Is it too much to ask for a GM to draft/sign a quarterback who matches the same playstyle as the starting quarterback so they don't have to drastically re-alter the offense around a statue if/when Justin Fields has to miss some time?
This really feels like one of the worst starts to an off-season I've ever experienced as a Bears fan in a long, long time. Every single move this new GM has made feels like he's going out of his way to build a roster that is the least talented in the NFL. Everywhere you look he's getting rid of guys to replace them with worse players. I hate that we are putting Justin Fields through this.

Bears dont even have a roster to help QB1 succeed and people are bitching about a backup during a rebuilding year

if you look at the games he played in their defenses didn't really show up.
they gave up 27, 23, 40, 31 in the games he started...

I haven't been following this offseason intently because the Bears simply are not an interesting team, but from what bits I've seen...I completely agree. The coaching hires were a big let down. Without looking it up, I couldn't tell you who the DC is - it's been that lame for me.
Outside of signing Pringle, I haven't seen anything impressive. It's like we're going to have a roster full of bums and no marquee guy.

Im not as doom and gloom as you are on this offseason, but the caliber and contracts of the guys Poles is signing almost looks like he is signing the depth/backups for future years and isn't worried about the product put on the field for '22. That or budget 1 year prove it deals. We'll see how much Bates got and if that follows the trend.

It will free up about $2.5m on the cap is why, and Simien is a cheap backup for the next two years. Foles wasn't. No need to spend alot on backup when you aren't going to contend for much this year.

I'm holding off my judgment until after the draft. If Poles drafts a couple olinemen early I'll be more excited. Also a CB early would be great.
If he runs out and drafts WRs I'm going to rip my dick off. In typical Bears fashion, when they draft a WR he won't contribute much at all year one...and knowing the Bears luck, he'll be a complete bust.
Obviously my opinion is flexible, but the general guideline stands.

It almost looks like a certainty at this point one that of those 2nds is going to be a WR.

it probably maybe makes more sense than signing Dalton to a lot of money when they already had the same guy in Foles on the team. I would think they'll try to deal Foles somehow.
cap geniuses, in year 3, would the team save more money cutting Foles vs. keeping him + the Siemian signing?
