Denver has a backup for Manning. Quarterback Caleb Hanie ,formerly of the Bears, has signed a two-year deal with the Broncos. Hanie nearly brought the Bears to the Super Bowl two years ago against the Packers in the NFC Championship game with a heartbreaking 21-14 loss. Chicago was down 14-0 when Hanie was brought in, but he threw two interceptions with one of them being a pick six to Packers nose tackle B.J. Raji that gave Green Bay the win. Denver gets an young athletic quarterback that also has playing experience.
When Hanie was put in for Cutler last season he threw only 3 touchdowns and 9 interceptions with a 41.8 passer rating. Though he did play well against the Broncos in the Bears 13-10 loss going 12-19 for 115 yards. Denver believes that Hanie didn't do well last year because he was three of his games were without star running back Matt Forte and played behind a line that gave up 105 sacks in the last two years.
