This is caleb hanie career stats,
3 TDs
10and INTs
679 YDs
41.6 Passer rating
I see why the broncos were aggressively trying to get him, they know what he can do. Elway needed someone to tank the season in case manning went down early, which I hope not. They found that guy in janie and their expectation of him is low in fact, they said if he did start and carried the broncos to the playoffs, they would cut him for causing them to lose the number one pick in 2013

Elway would be better off activating himself

Really? Caleb haine! I rather for them to sign weber from the practice squad than bring him in. He was horrible, tebow had better stats. Go pick up mcnabb, at least he’ll be a better passer and can probably maintain the offense if manning went down. Hell that’s like signing curtis painter, and we know he sucks

hanie did not seem to have a problem with the martz offense when he was forced to play in the nfc championship against the packers did he? he almost brought the bears back untill he surprise surprise threw a pick in a crucial situation. he will suck in whatever offense he is in and the broncos will find that out when pay-a-ton goes out ith another injury.

Denver fans have applied to FEMA in the event of a Hanie Emergency Evacuation Response.

You put Hanie back into a conventional non-Martz style offense that has a solid line like Denver and Hanie will be very solid fairly quick. Believe it. The Bears line, Martz hard headedness and the lack of weapons after Forte went down would of been tough on any qb.

Let’s face it , the Bears just weren’t very good last year, no matter who thier QB was.

He certainly turned the Bears season around (in the wrong direction)

first of all buckeyeron Cutler was having a great season as the bears were 7-3 and rolling. as for elrock7 he was a backup in his second year in the system who perforned great in the nfc championship game in a relief role. nobody expected him to put up cutler numbers just for him not to suck as bad as he did. the guy is just awful and will be in denver if he has to play. and if he does it will be his and manning’s fault since he does not allow the backup qb to take snaps. putting all your eggs in the manning basket is a gamble indeed,look out how well that worked out in indy when he went down and they had to go with painter who never got reps in practice and never played in games even blow out ones yet they were shocked when he did not work out.

No point in warning Peyton not to “turn your head around to look, Caleb Hanie might be gaining on you.”. He can’t because his neck is fused.

What about the Chicago/Carolina connection? That’s been going on for awhile. As a Bears fan I think this is the stupidest thing ANYONE could ever do. Hanie?! Seriously?! What did they not record the four games he played last season because they figured nobody would want to watch it afterwards? They would’ve been smarter to pull Brian Griese out of retirement, or maybe the worst #8 I’ve ever seen play QB for the Bears, and I’m not talking about Sexy Rexy. Lol. Bottom line, believing Caleb Hanie can be a #2 or #3 is equivalent to dividing by zero. You’re left with a dumbfounded look on your face while you try to figure out what it is that you’ve done. My advice is DO NOT LONG FOR THAT LOOK.

Look, I want a Manning Vs Manning Superbowl and I want it soon! No? Um, how about Harbaugh Vs Harbaugh? Well, could I interest you in the Vikings Vs. Bills?

I want Elway to bomb because he’s a jerk but I want Manning to succeed. Tebow? I believe he was a case of a QB being taken along with his team into the playoffs. He throws the ball like it’s a frisbee.

Wow alot of bitter posters here. I bet they are fans of teams who did not land Manning.

As for Hanie last year I wonder how many backups would have come into that situation without Forte any receivers and no O line and performed any better. I dont think too much of the coaching up there in Chicago.

Elway needs to go back to selling automobiles. He’s worse than McMillan as GM… well, maybe not worse but just as bad.

It’s a riot watching the Broncos commit suicide like this… first the used up Peyton Manning and now some lame backup because Peyton can’t deal with having a QB on the bench who might challenge him.

Broncos: 4-12 for the upcoming season. Put money on it now. This is golden.

As a ex-QB, maybe Elway sees something obvious in Hanie’s mechanics. If so, Hanie could be a steal. After all, how many recent QBs have looked good playing for Chicago? Are they all that bad, or is the problem the system used by the Bears? Granted, we saw that the problem with Orton wasn’t the system. Everyone was also raving about how great Cutler was too, and he hasn’t exactly been a top-tier QB lately.

They traded the savior Tim Tebow to sign Peyton Manning. Now the Broncos are aggressively trying to sign Caleb Hanie to be their backup QB.???

The only time I figured I would see the words “Caleb Hanie” and “Aggressively” in the same sentence is…Caleb Hanie was aggressively trying to get a job at Home Depot after nobody signed him this off season.

As a Bears fan, mark my words…there won’t be enough Jonestown Kool Aid to go around the city of Denver if Manning gets hurt and Hanie has to play.

Can’t be much better than Tebow, if at all.

As a Chiefs fan, I wholeheartedly support this move by the Donkeys. They aren’t gonna do any better than 9-7 even with Manning.

We saw how well this strategy worked for the Colts last year.

By: mjkelly77

mjkelly77 — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 20:16:32 +0000

Then again, Elway said he went into the Manning chase expecting everything to turn out well and not preparing for failure, and maybe this is just another example of that attitude: Maybe the Broncos feel so confident that they’ll put all their chips on Manning and not even worry about who the backup is.

Then Caleb Hanie will be the starting QB. Swamp Boy is done.

Caleb Hanie is awful. Everyone saw that last year. Elway needs to sign Billy Volek to back up Manning.

By: stevenfbrackett

This is just a case of “See, we got a real bonafide veteran starter to backup Manning!” while reassuring Manning that when he goes down, “we won’t have a fill-in that could possibly overshadow you for even a single game. At best, he’ll be a .500 guy in his starts. No worries Peyton”.

I sure hope they draft a good QB.
