Twitter reacts to Bears signing QB Nathan Peterman
The Chicago Bears certainly made a splash on an ordinary Wednesday afternoon with the signing of veteran quarterback Nathan Peterman to a one-year deal.
Peterman, who many believe to be one of the worst quarterbacks of all-time, has spent the last four seasons between the Buffalo Bills and Las Vegas Raiders in a reserve role. But when he has had opportunities to play, he’s posted some dreadful numbers.
While this signing has fans from across the NFL roasting the Bears, Peterman’s addition to the roster in a QB3 role is to get another body into the building heading into training camp. Second-year quarterback Justin Fields will start for Chicago while free-agent addition Trevor Siemian will back him up.
Given the Bears’ history of terrible quarterback play, the Peterman addition is oddly and painfully fitting. But rest assured, it won’t factor into plans for the regular season.
Here’s how Twitter is roasting reacting to news of Peterman’s signing:
Jay Cutler once threw 4 interceptions to one player in a single game.
Nathan Peterman once threw 5 interceptions in a half.
Somehow this is fitting.

Another sign #Bears GM Ryan Poles is clearly NOT all-in on Justin Fields… (slight sarcasm) https://t.co/4RTM2WCvVh

The Peterman really might be the worst starting qb in NFL history https://t.co/GpknprOYBH

Seems pretty on brand for the Bears and their long, storied history of great quarterbacks 🙄 https://t.co/3xPLGC0hNl

If Peterman starts at QB, Fields can be the WR2. Smart move by Ryan Poles. https://t.co/Ot4wsyFaxN

You can’t convince that the money used on this contract, any money at all, couldn’t have been used better elsewhere #DaBears https://t.co/48dOf7KW9J

3rd string QB, so it doesnt matter.
But Ryan Poles obviously doesnt care about how bad were getting roasted this offseason. 😭
– which is probably a good thing. https://t.co/X375DjtBXT— Max Markham (@MaxMarkhamNFL) May 11, 2022
Game over for the Justin Fields era. https://t.co/BImmbjRUAB

If a quarterback takes 20 snaps in a game and immediately spikes the ball, they will finish the game with a 39.58 passer rating.
Nathan Peterman's career passer rating is 33.97.Statistically one of the worst NFL QBs ever and still getting paid. https://t.co/93mS7fmvwL
