Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year, we ask questions of the most plugged-in Bears fans and fans across the country.
Now that’s more like it!
After having everything that could go wrong go wrong in the rain against the Minnesota Vikings, the Chicago Bears got back on the winning track against the NFC East-leading Philadelphia Eagles. Most impressive was the quarterback play from 38-year-old third-stringer Case Keenum, who only got the start because Tyson
Bagent began the week in concussion protocol and wasn’t fully cleared until Saturday.
Normally, when the starting quarterback goes down, a team’s odds of winning decrease. When the QB2 is out and the team moves on to QB number three, their chances of winning drop off drastically.
Let’s be real, not all 32 teams in the NFL are happy with their starting quarterback, and most would have to alter the call sheet and game plan if forced to their backup.
But the Chicago Bears have three quarterbacks they feel they can win with.
Caleb Williams is week to week with a hamstring injury, and he’ll likely miss Sunday’s game against the New York Jets. Head coach Ben Johnson hasn’t named a starter, but he did sound like he has an idea of what he’ll do.
“We’ll have a discussion as a coaching staff, and we’ll see where we need to go from here,” he said. “But I said it last week, and I’ll say it again, there was a reason why Tyson ended training camp as our number two quarterback.”
“Whether it’s Caleb, whether it’s Tyson, whether it’s Case, we’ve got one of the best quarterback rooms in the NFL and tonight was a reflection of that.”
