The Bears, who pulled off a trade to bring in young and talented Jay Cutler don’t have a veteran to back him up.
Will they add 41 year old Jeff George?
The Bears had him in 2004 as a backup. I know it’s five years later, but this guy was a number one pick in 1990, why not give him a shot?
George would add the experience that the Bears need behind Jay Cutler, just in case something happens to the Bears star.
I mean Caleb Hanie and Brett Basanez, who are they? Jeff George is better, even at 41 years old.
George has tried to make comebacks of late and he has spent time throwing balls to the incoming freshman at Illinois.
Profootballtalk.com had this to say about George:
The tape was created roughly three weeks ago, showing George throwing to incoming freshman at Illinois. We’re told that Illinois head coach Ron Zook was blown away by the performance, and he began beating the bushes to get George a second chance. [...]
Meanwhile, we’re hearing that some NFL scouts have responded to the video very favorably.
So, if the Bears don’t sign Jeff George to backup Jay Cutler I will very angry.
WARNING: THIS ARTICLE IS ENTIRELY A JOKE, NO ONE WANTED JEFF GEORGE IN HIS PRIME, WHO WOULD WANT HIM NOW.

Jeff George has the best arm in the history of the NFL. He holds team records for many teams, even today. He played on some pretty bad teams and does not play defense. For him not to be playing is a total sham. The Bears have needed a QB for years. Believe it or not, receivers love gettig the ball sooner. As people get older, they get smarter. Jeff got along just fine with the Vikings in his last real stint and took over a failing team from a super bowl mvp several games into the season at half time trailing 19-0. He proceeded to lead the Vikings to the playoffs (remember?) and proceeded to throw for the most yards in a playoff game in Vikings history. A record that is still in tact. You would think 37 points would be enough. Nope. Agai, he does ot play defense. The Rams, by the way, won the super bowl. He would be awesome for the Bears.
