For as great of a story as Alex Smith was on his comeback trail, an Alex Smith/Nick Foles QB room heading into Week 1 would be about as low of a floor as you could possible get. #Bears

Smith as a bridge/backup? Different story.

This is the last thing Bears fans want to hear. Not only does the idea of Nick Foles as starter make Bears fans sick, but the idea of Alex Smith and Foles battling it out for the starting job is somehow even worse.

The Bears are doomed to be stuck in QB Hell.
