Why the Chicago Bears Should Sign QB Marc Bulger

The Bears have Jay Cutler as their franchise quarterback, but if he goes down with an injury, they do not have much experience behind him.
Caleb Hanie, an undrafted free agent from Colorado State (two-year pro) and Brett Basanez, an undrafted free agent from Northwestern (four-year pro) aren’t much help.
Bulger, 33, was released by the Rams today but still has some years left in him.
He sat behind the great Kurt Warner for many years in St. Louis and he could sit behind Jay Cutler here in Chicago. A veteran quarterback behind Jay Cutler would only help him develop, and head coach Lovie Smith has said he wanted a veteran behind Cutler.
Bulger clearly knows offensive coordinator Mike Martz’s offense; he played for him for many years with the Rams. Bulger would be a great addition because of his knowledge in this league, his experience, and his ability. He wouldn’t be a cheap option, but I am sure he would gladly sign a three-year deal worth about four or five million a season.
Come on, Bears!
Add Marc Bulger because he can only help the situation. Jay Cutler is your franchise piece, so it’s your responsibility to give him any help he can get.
