Tannehill has a ton of experience in the NFL and could be a great #2 option while also teaching Williams a lot about the game in the NFL. "As far as talent, the Bears like (Tyson Bagent)," Fishbain said. "He proved himself capable last season, winning two games. There might be quarterbacks out there (see: Tannehill, Ryan) who would be better at leading the offense if needed, but the Bears can go that route if an injury occurred. A starter in the league might not fit as the best No. 2 to the top pick in the draft."
