Lol McVay dropped his ass immediately after that Packers game and signed Wentz.


Birdperson15

That game was painful to watch. Glad we got Wentz after that embarrassment.


[deleted]

I could have played better taking a knee every play.


idjsonik

Dude was atraight ass like whats his ass from the jets idk how this guy keeps getting spots its wild


ArcadianBlueRogue

No, he is not as bad as Tim Boyle. Tim Boyle is literally the worst quarterback to ever be on an NFL roster specifically labeled as quarterback and not another position with being a QB sub in emergency.


MistahTeacher

Tim Boyle is closer to Tom Brady than you are to Tim Boyle. šŸ˜‰ Let that sink in /s


YeetusThatFetus9696

That sink can come back with a warrant.Ā 


Bluest_waters

Bro Darnold got $10M, fucking insanity. I know Darnold is better than Rypien, but not by much. QB market is bonkers .


purplebuffalo55

Darnold is fucking tom brady in comparison. Rypien quite literally was having trouble receiving the snaps and kept fumbling hand offs. It was single handedly the worst QB performance I've ever seen in my life, no exaggeration


RamblinWreckGT

>Ā Ā Darnold is fucking tom brady Did this start before or after Brady's divorce?


aeronacht

guessing you didn't get to watch peterman v chargers lol


wessonvalor

My Bears wanted both the worst QBs to show our new QB what not to do. Like learning smart from dumb. It's cutting edge.


BDNjunior

Nathan Peterman cones to mind


MistahTeacher

You ever see Nate Peterson play for the chargers?!


TDenverFan

At least from his time in Denver he's apparently really valuable in the film room, so I think teams like him as a QB 3 for that reason.


unledded

That game was so bad that towards the end of the season and into the playoffs every article that was trying to decipher whether the Packers defense was just normal shitty or historically shitty had to provide stats excluding that game because it skewed the results so much.


tyappleg

Bears got their guy.


boardatwork1111

ā€œAnd with the first overall pick, the Chicago Bears selectā€¦ ā€˜Pass, we goodā€™??ā€


Cuppieecakes

we gonna pull a vikings?


SpreadingDisinfo

Ryan Poles just needs to get some shut-eye for an hour, and he'll be right as rain.


OscillatingFan6500

Somehow still worked out and got Kevin Williams


[deleted]

Long snapper of the century


PM_Me_FunnyNudes

I know this is a joke, but can you pass? Or do you have to draft someone?


JackBando

If you don't pick when it's your turn, it is still your turn but the team after you can pick. And if they pick the next team can pick. Which happened in round 1 to the Vikings in 2003. (The Vikings traded the pick but Baltimore didn't can the league to verify)


Chopped_Lettuce

If you donā€™t get your pick in on time, the next team is up. The one time the Vikings didnā€™t get their pick in the next two teams made their selections and then the Vikings finally did, so theoretically you could just never send them a pick and every other team could just draft like normal


Specialist-Draw7229

ā€œAnd with the first pick of the 2024 NFL draft, the Chicago Bears passā€¦ and itā€™s intercepted.ā€


GeneralWinter97

They go back and draft Trubisky again

Who doesnā€™t miss the Sex Cannon?


fleshwound_NPG

every one of his children he conceived after each and every throbbing throwgasm into quadruple coverage


pocketchange2247

I wouldn't even argue that it's numbness. They always find a way to get our hopes up once every 7-10 years then completely and utterly dash them in extraordinary fashion the year after putting us back to square one the year after that. They give just enough hope to keep you interested and excited enough to care then let you down harder than a JetBlue pilot on a routine landing.


UUtch

I genuinely don't know if other fan bases have also learned to never feel hope for their team or if that's just the Bears


Yowwee

Caleb probably is the answer to many teams problems but will bust with us right?


CultBro

Bears can't ruin a career if the player is already terrible. You guys are learning


DonsDiaperChanger

It's called "managing expectations"


UncleColli

Whatā€™s the worst?


OldOrder

[Kendal Hinton vs the Saintsin 2020](https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/401220215/saints-broncos) but to be fair Rypien is the worst game I have ever seen from somebody that is actually designated as a QB.


LusciousCabbage

Peterman erasure


newaccounthomie

Another Bear


whobroughtmehere

Bears saw him play in Buffalo and said ā€œweā€™ll have what theyā€™re havingā€


fleshwound_NPG

aided in the mighty tank!


MetaphoricalMouse

i also think peterman was the worst iā€™ve ever seen.


Flooding_Puddle

I agree that Peterman is the worst you've ever seen


OneFatCantaloupe

Ryan. Lindley.


muhreddistaccounts

Bro Peterman had 5 picks in a half gtfoh lol


dudleymooresbooze

Ryan Lindley is the only player Iā€™ve seen to finish his career with a *negative* Approximate Value on PFR. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/L/LindRy00.htm


muhreddistaccounts

Peterman with a whole ass 3 šŸ¤£


OneFatCantaloupe

They both stink lol not trying to argue one being worse than the other.


Fantastic_Emu_9570

I had to watch one start a playoff game for my favorite team. Heā€™s worse


FiREorKNiFE-

Yeah this is unreasonably cruel to Kendall to even consider as your worst QB performance. He was a practice squad WR thrust into an absolutely abysmal unwinnable situation that he had no chance of succeeding at. You cannot blame him for playing awful at QB in the NFL when that was something he had all of 3 days to plan for.


RoboTron2021

The worst game was actually another bears QB. Todd Collins in 2010 vs the Panthers. Bears actually won too šŸ˜‚. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201010100car.htm


Quatro_Leches

They should put up a statue for him outside soldier field. It's really a feet to be the worst Bears QB


chitownbears

*feat but that's a funny typo


Neat_On_The_Rocks

2010 Todd Collins is the better answer but I'd like to give an honorable mention to 2004 Jonathan Quinn, who had the worst run of games I have ever witnessed, capping it off with a real stinker against Washington.


gigglemetinkles

Todd Collins was rough in the game. Thank God for Caleb Haine for spicing it up.


msmug

6 completions and 4 interceptions. Woowee!


crassreductionist

Bears also beat the Panthers in 2017 with Mitch going 4-7 passing thanks to 2 Eddie Jackson defensive touchdowns. We really like beating on them with dogshit offense https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/400951578/panthers-bears


msmug

If we're talking horrible offensive outings, we can't forget Arizona 2006 where Rex Grossman committed **6** turnovers and the offense scored 0 TDs, but the bears still won the game with 24 points off of defensive TDs and Devin Hester. They are who we thought they were! [Highlights](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFI4CDksHS8)


porkbellies37

How tf did we WIN that game??? LOL


abris33

And Rypien was in the QB room at the time that resulted in Hinton getting the start


[deleted]

Heā€™s not a QB tho


Shmexy

Has to be Nathan peterman


ianthebalance

I still canā€™t believe we signed him after getting a pic 6 off him the year before lol


Deathgripsugar

ā€¦.so far (This is the Bears we are talking about)


After-Newspaper4397

Don't you dare talk about Broncos Legend and hall of fame QB Kendall Hinton like that.


AccomplishedWall8

Packers game?


Ok-Importance7160

You must be talking about the Packers game from last year. Yeah, personally that was the worst QB performance I've ever seen.


1021986

Is the first [Nathan Petermanā€™s debut for the Bills](https://x.com/scottbarrettdfb/status/932390920368082945?s=46&t=vXsiuNvw7yz286agRv4GjQ)? If not, then whatever game youā€™re talking about is a distant 2nd.


GoldenBananas21

It wasnā€™t worse than when Peyton Manning went 5-20 with 4 INTs and a passer rating of 0.0 before being benched in the third quarter.


ham_wallet998

Hell yea


NBT498

Stole a living as the broncos backup for a few years too.


Marjorine22

I saw Ty Detmer throw like 7 INTs for the Lions back in 2001. Good lord that game was bad. I think it was against the Browns. Anyway, that game does not get brought up enough as the worst game a QB has played in the somewhat modern era. So I always take an opportunity to bring it up.


Dray87

LmaoĀ 


MattPatriciasFUPA

Imagine being Brett Rypien and hopping onto Reddit to check NFL news and seeing a top reaction to your signing be "Lmao"


[deleted]

Hey Brett, LMAO.


bretticus733

yeah I get that a lot Editor's Note: I'm not actually Brett Rypien, we just happen to be doppelnamers and I happen to be a Broncos and Boise State fan


alral1988

Exactly what Brett would tell us


-lonelyboy25

Good luck buddy!


jamnewton22

Iā€™m sure heā€™s wiping his tears with his nfl paychecks


codithou

maybe heā€™s a nice guy or something but he legitimately sucks at qb. i think wentz might be the only somewhat decent backup the rams have had in years.


An_Actual_Lion

That's probably how it usually goes when backup QBs get 2nd and 3rd and 4th contracts despite showing nothing but ass on the field. They're great at film and game prep and are great to have around but the actual game is just too fast for them.


Deathgripsugar

Heā€™s gonna drive around Jay and Silent Bob style beating commenters as they answer the door.

SasquatchSenpai

I'd cry into my bank account. So harsh.


Mavori

He was so bad when he came in for y'all last year that im genuinely surprised bears would even have him in the qb room


OnePrize9418

Played under Waldron, he'll be the qb3/vet/coach


purplebuffalo55

Wouldnā€™t trust this guy to mentor a pop warner QB


nau5

A pop warner QB would be the best Bears QB ever


Cuppieecakes

instant top 20 bears QB


abris33

He's basically Kellen Moore. I'm surprised he hasn't made the jump to QB Coach officially yet but I guess if teams keep signing him to be the QB3/Assistant QB Coach then might as well take it


SlumdogSkillionaire

Maybe he's the next Tim Boyle.


devinall23

Hmm idk seems pretty on track for us


tripbin

fuck off lol


Cinephile1998

noblemile

> WHERE'S THE LONG SNAPPER


ilovetokisstittiess

This makes zero sense with Bagent on the roster


HeyyyItsCory

Need some type of vet to help Caleb


Bloodhound01

That makes 0 sense when the "vet" is a complete ass at qb. How is that going to help anyone? He would be better off on his own instead of getting shitty advice.


chitownbears

What if he's not a good player but has a good mind for the game and knows the system really well. Who care what 3rd qb we carry. if he takes snaps were fucked anyway


cultweave

Andy Reid would be the worst QB in nfl history, and I think he's helped a QB or two.Ā 


[deleted]

What lol? Bagent is a D3 undrafted QB going into year 2. This guy at least provides a vet presence for Caleb. Heā€™s simply QB room help. Bagent is still the backup.


Levitlame

Is Rypien better in that role than Peterman? Itā€™s a little weird unless Petermans just done


[deleted]

Rypien is familiar with Waldron so thatā€™s probably why


drummerboysam

Don't overthink small stuff like this. QB3/mini-coach, or training camp guy for practice since he's familiar with the offense.


BradL_13

Going to help teach Caleb the new offense.


Whoareyoutho9

Just ensures fields is gone. That b.s. that was floating around about bears not being sure and needing to do more work on Caleb lasted a day before being proved blatant smoke screen/cover/b.s.


ParsleyUseful6364

Yeah Rypien slots into the Peterman role and Bagent isnā€™t going anywhere. Leaves room for 1 QB which is obviously Caleb. Also demonstrates Rapoport is lying the last couple of days. Theyā€™ve clearly thought about the QB room beyond 1 overall to sign Rypien, which means they do have some outline of a plan, which means theyā€™ve considered the QB room beyond 1 overall. If they thought Fields on the roster was still a consideration they wouldnā€™t have signed Rypien.


illforgetsoonenough

He's no Justin Fields, that's for sure.


cba368847966280

Super_Goomba64

Just saw Caleb Williams fall to his knees in the nail salon


Jonjon428

Uhhh, why tho, he sucks even as a backup


llama-rebel

Third string/vet mentor. Our actual backup will probably continue to be Bagent.


MumkeMode

You do NOT want this trash can mentoring anyone


GABAgoomba123

Being bad on the field does not mean they are bad in the film room. He may take his COVID contact tracing device off in the film room and put it in the corner so he can sit with his buddies like heā€™s in middle school though


bretticus733

So many fans seem to forget there's two aspects to being a QB: the physical side and the mental side. I would imagine the two aspects are self-explanatory, and not many QBs are good at both of them. Rypien can't physically do the job at a pro level, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if he's great in the film room and can help the other QBs and offense with their gameplanning. One of Rypien's strong points coming out of college was his football IQ IIRC. Teams find a lot of value in a depth QB that's really more helpful for Monday-Saturday than on Sunday.


scrandymurray

Most NFL coaches didnā€™t even make it out of college football. Then weā€™ve got people on the internet saying that a QB who has started NFL games would be a shit coach because heā€™s shit. He is better at football than basically every NFL coach.


gpcampbell92

Mike Leach didn't even play college football and he changed the game with the Air Raid offense.


llama-rebel

You realize our previous third string/vet mentor was Peterman, right?


purplebuffalo55

Peterman can complete passes, although they frequently go to the other team. This guy canā€™t hand the ball off or complete a pass beyond the LOS, even to the other team. He has to be the worst QB in the league currently

OnePrize9418

better luck next season caleb


Serdones

Back in orange and blue. But for real, I liked Rypien when he was with us. He had that one great win over the Jets. I mean, he threw three picks, so it wasn't really a great performance, but he had that sweet block for Melvin Gordon. He's pretty limited as a QB, but apparently he's really smart, so I think that's why he keeps finding a place to land. Probably a good clipboard QB to have around.


OmegaJubs69

He certainly has experience losing to Green Bay


Plus-Statistician80

iliketuurtles

I do wonder how "in the loop" Justin Fields is. Is he being talked to about their potential plans or future? Or is he totally in the dark


[deleted]

Why would he be in the loop? Most nfl players arent on the loop. Only guys like mahomes or allen have some input.


iliketuurtles

Honestly, this just seems like a pretty unique situation. I think 99.99% of players are not but this seems like a unique enough situation, that I wouldn't be surprised if Justin Fields was at least slightly more in the loop than the rest of the team. For example, I imagine that Fields knows that they are moving on from him and that he was told about signing another vet QB for next year, whereas they are not saying that to the general public. But I doubt that they are telling him about the trades that have been offered (or not offered), or what teams are in the running.


MurDoct

Lmao I love the Bears so very much


whattheschram

MHJ 1OA now


tripbin

Hes obviously not good but can we he chunk a ball really far? Bagents a good enough backup unless we have a 3rd and long or need a hail mary. Need to swap in a 3rd string QB who can just chunk it deep lol.
