Jonathan Quinn was brought in to basically tutor Grossman about Terry Shea’s offense, which as far as anyone could tell was just “Baby’s First Mike Martz Route Tree.”

When Rex got hurt, Quinn was tossed into the fire, and everyone was aghast that the Bears had to have this quarterback who threw the ball like he was trying to miss a free throw because he knew whatever this offense was supposed to be. It was ugly and horrid and made one run for the teachings of Nietzsche.

Craig Krenzel only played because Quinn was just a dizzy stork back there, even though Krenzel was yet another who couldn’t throw a ball across a small creek. Seriously, if you added up all the soft-armed quarterbacks the Bears employed they might, might be able to throw one decent deep ball.

Quinn and Krenzel were so bad that the Bears went and plucked Chad Hutchinson off some surfboard somewhere just to take their place. He put up one good game against Minnesota (who were always playing the long con by laying down in front of various awful Bears quarterbacks so they would stick around), when the league had forgotten he patted the ball before throwing every single time.
