Maybe Hutchinson will fail his physical...the Bears will sign Scottie Mac, and we can all argue over who should be 2nd string.
Krenzel moves 1 play closer to field

To assume Craig Krenzel will prepare differently as the newly anointed second-string quarterback suggests to Krenzel that he did not take the proper mind-set before his promotion. A man bookish enough to have studied molecular genetics at Ohio State takes his studying seriously.
"It doesn't change a thing," Krenzel said of his move up the depth chart. "Last week I was two plays away, this week one play. It's the same approach."
Physically, Krenzel will spend the week concentrating on two specific flaws detected on film: increasing his speed dropping back and eliminating happy feet in the pocket.
"When I'm thinking a lot, [quarterbacks coach] Wade [Wilson] and I noticed in the games my feet got real active, and I wasn't throwing the ball as well," he said.
Krenzel is smart enough not to confuse his ascension with a promotion. He knows his desired place on the depth chart.
"Eventually we would like for Craig to be the No. 3," coach Lovie Smith said. "[But] you can't get [Chad Hutchinson] ready in one week to jump in. In time, we would like to see Chad move up to that spot."
