EDGE Analysis

Carden provided big-time production as a senior at East Carolina last season, but his accuracy was an issue all through camp, and he never saw the field in the preseason. With Jimmy Clausen dealing with a concussion, the Bears determined that Zac Dysert, who was plucked off waivers Tuesday, would be a better addition to their backup quarterback ranks.
