A Chicago Bears Mark Sanchez scheduled visit was not something the fans were expecting. After signing Mike Glennon and bringing back Connor Shaw, it was felt the team was in perfect position to add a young quarterback via the draft. Seems GM Ryan Pace might have a different idea. Sanchez has 78 games (including playoffs) of NFL starting experience. Since 2014 he has served as a backup for the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys.
If the plan is to have him on the roster to help mentor a potential high draft pick, then it makes at least some sense. The great fear though is that the Bears might view him as just a backup to Glennon and they actually don’t plan to take a QB high at all. This is the doomsday scenario for many and could cause a literal uprising around Chicago.
Don’t believe it? One must merely examine the rabid (and hilarious) avalanche of panicked responses that struck Twitter when the news came down that Sanchez was meeting with the team.
