The 1985 Chicago Bears had the #2 scoring offense in the league @28.5 ppg2002 Buccaneers and 1985 Bears
Nobody gonna sign Bennett if he gets cut. Not saying they will cut him but if they do he’d easily make it to the PSNo matter what, sounds like we're carrying (3) QB's on the roster -- there's no way that either Bennett or Simpson make it past waivers.
Didn't we keep (2) QB's last season? and the year before that?
It's gonna be a tough, tough cut down day this year....
How many points were scored by the defense. Then again they did have Walter.The 1985 Chicago Bears had the #2 scoring offense in the league @28.5 ppg
Lost track somewhere along the way
Pretty sure they would have announced itDoes anyone know when we should find out if Nacua or Jackson is suspended? I wish they would just announce it already.
No news is good news?Pretty sure they would have announced it
Who has a backup with less experience than Bennett?Simpson keeps progressing, does Bennett become tradebait?
Doubt it. They'll cut Bennett if he doesn't beat Simpson out. If it's close Bennett will probably get cut too, because it's reasonable to expect the kid to improve as the season goes on.Simpson keeps progressing, does Bennett become tradebait?
To make the team, Bennett doesnt even have to prove he's worthy of potentially starting in Stafford's absence. He just needs to be able to make the throws in practice with the 1st/2nd teamers so they can limit Stafford's exposure. That's it. If he doesnt have enough of a grasp of the offense after 4 years to at least do that, he'd have to be cut. Articles like this however give hope that he's got enough of a grasp to be the #2Doubt it.

Bennett's only hope is to dunk on Simpson's ass in that QB2 battle. He's not only playing for the QB2 role, but also for his own employment status if he gets cut. Though I do think he'll be added to the PS once he clears waivers.
Plenty.
Performance reports from practice are underwhelming.
With a QB that had missed most of, if not all of, training camp.Yeah they probably will do better than my exaggerated average of 13 points a game but I still feel we may have a rough time averaging 20 points.
Some of the teams on our schedule have really good defenses.
I could see scoring only 13 against some of those teams with Bennett as QB.
For example - we only scored 14 points against Houston last year and we had a healthy offense against them.
Its possible, but only if Simpson really shines in preseason.Simpson keeps progressing, does Bennett become tradebait?
That's true but the two best defenses in the NFL last season were the Seahawks and Texans.For example - we only scored 14 points against Houston last year and we had a healthy offense against them.
