Brett Basanez hasn't looked enough like the quarterback who had gained the trust of the Panthers two summers ago to be their No. 2. The Bears might be tempted by a big name with experience who gets cut -- Damon Huard doesn't seem like that guy -- and that could affect numbers at another position. But Jay Cutler's backup, Caleb Hanie, has earned his roster spot for the second straight season. Source: Chicago Tribune
I think Hanie has potential. He's looked good the few times I've seen him play but needs more time to develop. However if Cutler gets hurt that's not the time to "practice". Maybe we can have some games in the bag by the 3rd/4th quarter then give Hanie the time he needs?
