Bears sign QB Andy Dalton

Dalton is actually worse than both Foles and Trubisky.

Since Dalton was last a good QB in 2015:

  • Trubisky led the Bears to 12-4 and was a double doink from winning a playoff game (with a strong comeback on the Foles comeback)
  • Foles led the Eagles to the Super Bowl and another playoff run.

 

Dalton has the added bonus of being one of the worst playoff performers among all humans in the 4 major American sports.

what's the point of this even? It's not like they can win a Super Bowl with Dalton. Will just win enough games to take them out of the QB sweepstakes again. 

That doesn't matter to Pace and Nagy who are on the cusp of losing their jobs, they aren't going to tank it only to inevitably get pushed out the door.

You really need to understand Dalton 2015.

 

His D was top 5-7  range (2 in scoring and 11 in yards)

His weapons were:

  • 27 year old AJ Green
  • 25 year old Marvin Jones
  • 25 year old Tyler Eiffert (in one of his two mostly healthy seasons)
  • 26 year old Mohammed Sanu
  • His LT was 1st team all-pro Whitworth at age 34
    • The rest of his line were solid players like Andre Smith and Kevin Zeitler
  • Gio and Hill combined for about 2100 yards from scrimmage and 14 TDs.

Dalton's 106.2 rating was so incredibly special that AJ McCarron put up a 97.1 rating in 4 games when Dalton got hurt.

  • This includes an OT loss in Denver vs the SB Champs.
  • AJ McCarron is not a top 40 QB in the NFL

Schefter :

Chicago made "a very aggressive pursuit" of Seahawks QB Russell Wilson, per sources, and the Bears were told that Seattle is not trading him at this time.

 

The Bears were one of four teams Wilson's agent named as a place of interest. Now Chicago has an agreement with Andy Dalton.
