Summary

On this episode of the Under Center Podcast, JJ Stankevitz, John "Moon" Mullin and Cam Ellis react to some of the crazier predictions various outlets have for the Bears this season. First, the guys respond to Phil Simms calling Chase "Daniels" one of the worst backup QBs in the NFL (0:44). If Trubisky goes down, Moon says there are several players who can step up and take over a game so that Daniel won't have to lead the Bears to wins himself (4:23). JJ even thinks Daniel is better than several QBs that have started for the Bears (06:45).What positions have the best/worst depth heading into this season (07:50)? And who are some Bears depth players that would be starting if they played on other teams (12:45)?Then, the crew reacts to a Sports Illustrated prediction that has the Bears going 7-9 and finishing last in the NFC North (14:08). Plus, the fact that they had the Bears DBs ranked 17th in the league is simply preposterous (16:25). Moving on to Trubisky talk, JJ isn't buying the idea that Trubisky will make more mistakes in Year 2 of Nagy's offense (19:50). Finally, the guys share their thoughts on Andrew Luck's surprise retirement (23:33), and Moon compares the news to when former Bears linebacker Bryan Cox opted to have thumb surgery mid-season in 1996 to avoid long-term damage to his hand (28:06).

Welcome in to another edition of the Under Center podcast here on NBC Sports Chicago.

0:10.7

I'm JJ Stankovic, joined here in the House Hall Coke Closet by John Moon, Mullen, and Cam Ellis.

0:16.3

Got a couple of things to get to on this podcast today ahead of the Bears final preseason game

0:21.1

against the Tennessee Titans. It's really, Moon, like you said, it's really an off week

0:25.5

for the Bears. Yeah. I mean, even it's a short week for the game, but who cares?

0:31.9

So, I mean, the guys who are playing for jobs care, but right. Yeah, even up here at

0:36.9

Hallis, I think they're putting on, they set up a separate practice

0:40.0

for the varsity and the JVs.

0:41.8

So what I want to talk about here is the first thing to hit is, so Phil Sims was on Chris

0:50.4

Simms show, his son, on NBC Sports, and he said the bears of one of the worst backup

0:55.8

quarterback situations in the NFL. Now, granted, Phil Sims did say that Chase Daniels,

1:03.3

pause for comedic effect, can't go on the road and win a game. He's already done that, which he did

1:10.2

last year.

1:18.9

But the one thing I will say to kind of talk about this a little bit further is that Chase Daniel has not had a good preseason.

1:26.2

But if you're worried about Chase Daniel having a bad preseason and thinking, well, this is, you know, it's over.

1:27.9

Go back to what he did last year. And he went one and one in the, you know, in the two games that he started. If your backup

1:33.4

goes 500, you're feeling pretty good about it. Now granted, if Mitch Trubisky were to miss

1:39.4

significant time, yeah, I think you don't feel great about that, but there aren't many teams in the NFL

1:44.8

that if your quarterback misses significant time or surprisingly retires during a preseason game,

1:49.8

that you're going to feel too good about that quarterback situation. Yeah, did Phil Sim say this?

1:57.1

Did he, we're talking about Joshua Dobbs in Pittsburgh. I mean, you're right. It's so rare.

2:03.8

We can probably think of the only teams that have good backup situations, which might, let's say the New York Giants with Eli.
