Indeed, we saw last week that Trevor Sieman might not be the answer at the backup position and we all know about the "legend" of Nathan Peterman who once threw 5 interceptions in the first half of a regular season game...
Well, with that being said, Chris Emma reported that the Chicago Bears have signed former Lions' QB Tim Boyle.
Boyle served as Aaron Rodgers‘ backup in Green Bay over the past several seasons prior to his stint in Detroit. Although he had attempted just four career passes, the Lions inked him to a one-year, $2.5MM deal in March of 2021 after he was non-tendered by the Packers.
While he has very little experience in the league, he keeps getting opportunities, so scouts and coaches must see something in him.
Boyle won three high school state championships at Xavier High School in Middletown, Connecticut, but bombed after enrolling at UConn in 2013. He threw no touchdown passes and eight interceptions that year and finished with just one TD and 13 picks before moving down to FCS-level Eastern Kentucky for his final season. And it didn't go much better, throwing 11 TDs and another 13 picks for the Colonels.
