But Dr. Steve Shin, a hand surgeon based in Los Angeles, told the Sun-Times that a surgery usually requires six to eight weeks for recovery. An athlete, though, could resume throwing three weeks after surgery, then the rest depends on a person's threshold for pain.
They also say that we are expected to sign a vet QB to back him up. Who? If there is a vet QB out that that doesn't completely suck wouldn't another team with an injured QB picked him up by now? I can't think of any.

Maybe dinosaur Bulger? He is at least familiar with the offense and could help Caleb. Or lure Warner out of retirement? All the veteran options are retired vets who are a million years old.

I say we try and get Favre out of retirement because it would be hilarious.

Nope. Besides the obvious flaw that he is Favre he also doesn't know the Martz system (what ever that is). Heard people say Kurt Warner which would be so weird but would work better than Favre.

Mannelly ruptured ACL. Goddamn.
It got lost in the Cutler talk, but we take Mannelly's perfection for granted. They're going to hold tryouts for some long snapper free agents, but all those miscues that other teams have on botched field goal snaps just don't happen in Chicago - mostly because of Patrick.
I need to get in those tryouts.
