Bears Release QB Matt Blanchard, Sign QB Dalyn Williams

On this site at least QB Matt Blanchard is a fan favorite. I’ve seen normally sensible commentors predicting Blanchard beating out Hoyer for the #2 job and knocking Fales off the roster all together. Apparently we have a lot of readers who are Wisconsin-Whitewater fans (where Blanchard went 25-0).

In my quarterback depth chart review, I had Hoyer locked in at the #2 spot, but I got plenty of feedback from fans who thought Blanchard had a shot at the primary back-up job. Well, that ship has sailed. Blanchard isn’t even around anymore to compete with David Fales for the developmental QB role.
