Bears Sign Veteran Backup QB; Earth Continues Spinning on its Axis

At least one of the five sacks Jay Cutler absorbed during Saturday's Bears pre-season game was such a hard hit, it even knocked some sense into the Bears' front office. Faced with the prospect of a Cutler injury leaving the offense in the hands of Caleb "Mister" Hanie, Dan "Pac-Man" LeFevour, or the recently signed "With this offensive line, defenders will be stepping all over me like I'm a welcome" Matt Gutierrez (combined total - 9 NFL passes), the Bears relented from their hard-line stance last week by signing Todd Collins as a backup. Collins isn't an all-pro, but at least he has experience running an NFL offense, along with a career passer rating of 76.0 (for comparison's sake, Kyle Orton's career rating is 76.9).

Kudos to the front office for waking up and prying open their wallet to address one of the team's many glaring weaknesses.
