LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears coach John Fox has seen starting NFL quarterbacks come from stranger places than the waiver wire.The production of quarterback Matt Barkley in place of the injured Jay Cutler and Brian Hoyer has Foxs attention with two games to play in a miserable 3-11 season.It hasnt resulted in a lot of wins, but I think hes turned a lot of peoples heads, Fox said.Signed to the Bears practice squad Sept. 5 after being cut by Arizona, Barkley has achieved a passer rating slightly below Cutlers in four starts. He has thrown several key interceptions.Barkley also displayed an ability in several games to rally the team heading into Saturdays final home game at Soldier Field against the Washington Redskins.Id go all the way back to my second year as head coach, Fox said, recalling his time coaching the Carolina Panthers. We signed a guy in free agency, wasnt a big name, was a backup on the New Orleans Saints roster: Jake Delhomme.He came in and took us to within three points of winning a Super Bowl in his first year as a starter. A lot of it is what kind of supporting cast you have and what kind of football team you have, and hopefully well get better in both of those areas.Barkley appreciates the sentiments, but believes he has barely begun to display his potential.I feel like Im capable of a lot more, Barkley said Tuesday at Halas Hall. And the glaring plays of the last couple weeks, the negative glaring plays are eating me up.Barkley threw three interceptions in the first three quarters of Sundays 30-27 loss to Green Bay, and then led the Bears to 17 fourth-quarter points. It matched their most points ever in a fourth quarter.Barkley finished 30 of 43 for 362 yards with two touchdown passes. His yardage total was the most by a Bears quarterback against the Packers.Hes definitely grown in his time as a starter, Fox said. We still have two games left to evaluate that further. I think the young man has responded well and Id like to think he would improve.The Bears are trying to decide a course of action at quarterback for next year.Almost all of Cutlers bonus money has been applied against the teams salary cap already, and such a situation makes the possibility he could be cut or traded, more likely -- although no one with the team has confirmed it a greater possibility.Hoyer and Barkley have no contracts for next year. Reserve Connor Shaw, who suffered a broken leg in preseason, will be an exclusive rights free agent.Theres always speculation in this league and especially at my position, especially with the way this season has turned out for us, Barkley said. And so, Im not even going to go there, though -- not my job right now.What Barkley is looking closely at is getting his second victory since taking over as starter after Cutlers season-ending shoulder injury.Hoyer had six TD passes and no interceptions in 200 attempts for a 98.0 passer rating, but the Bears had trouble getting into the end zone when he played. Cutler had four TD passes and five interceptions and a passer rating of 78.1.Barkleys rating is 75.2, but in each of the past two games he guided the Bears to their most points this season on Sunday in bitter cold, and did the same earlier in the snow during a 26-6 win over San Francisco. His performance came without top receiver Alshon Jeffery until last week due to suspension.Barkley did not benefit from organized team activities or even preseason with his receivers.So I think a full offseason and whatever thats going to look like next year, where you get just timing down -- you get, obviously, a cohesiveness in the huddle with guys and snap counts and all the calls.Theres a lot of room for growth with this team.Fox is thinking about the future, even if he doesnt want to go into detail.We still have two more opportunities and well evaluate the body of work and move forward from that, Fox said. I dont know how many people would have thought he was going to have the kind of success hes had to this point.Game notesThe Bears could have a decision Wednesday on whether to activate CB Kyle Fuller from injured reserve.

Asked what kept him out of the Olympics, the 22-year-old Texan would only say that it was personal and anyone in his shoes would have made the same choice.Why was it so hard? Because Im a huge believer in Olympic golf, Spieth said Tuesday during a news conference that touched only briefly on his bid for the third leg of the career Grand Slam at the British Open.This year I just had to try and weigh a risk that doesnt present itself every year, he said. And just at the time that I had to make the decision, I just felt this was the right move for me. Not everybodys going to understand. Nobodys going to understand what its like in my shoes. ... Mine came down to just a very personal decision that, again, I dont expect anybody to understand, but trust that I believe Im making the right decision for myself, for my future and for those around me.Spieths stock has risen sharply in the last year after he won the Masters and U.S. Open and made a spirited run at the Grand Slam. With 18 other players having withdrawn, he was looked upon as someone whose commitment might ease the backlash against golf for its perceived indifference about the sport returning to the Olympics.That didnt stop him from following his instincts.Spieth said he didnt make up his mind until Monday morning, and the decision was his alone.Everybodys entitled to their own opinion, Spieth said. Im not worrying about anybody else except myself, and again, I dont expect people to fully understand it. They dont know what I know about myself and my future and my goals. Therefore, theres nothing I can do about it except go on and try to again focus on this week.Spieths decision means none of the top four in the world ranking -- they have won six of the last eight majors -- will be in Rio when golf is part of the Olympic program for the first time since St. Louis in 1904.Jason Day, Dustin Johnson and Rory McIlroy previously pulled out, all citing Zika and their plans to start a family or have more children. The mosquito-borne Zika virrus has been linked to severe birth defects and possible neurological disorders in adults.dddddddddddd International Golf Federation President Peter Dawson said Monday he thought there was an overreaction to Zika and that none of the workers on the new golf course have been affected.Spieth is staying with Rickie Fowler this week in Troon, and he said he was standing next to him when Fowler tweeted Sunday night that he would be playing. Spieth had planned to room with Fowler in Rio, and he said he texted Fowler after informing the IGF that he wasnt going to play.He said, `No worries. I know you had to make it just for you. Youre just going to be jealous when I get that gold, Spieth said. Thats what he said. So thats how it went.Either way, Spieth said he would be watching.He is the defending champion at the John Deere Classic, which was moved to the week of the Olympics when the PGA Tour adjusted its schedule for the Rio Games. Even though hes out of the Olympics, Spieth said he wont go to the John Deere.I dont think it would be an appropriate move to play that week, so I will not be playing that week, he said. I dont think it would be appropriate given our decision on the Olympics. ... Weve won two out of the last three years. So I will be going back there, I just dont think its appropriate this year.Spieth joked after an introduction to his close call at St. Andrews last year that it would be the easiest question he received. And when it was over, as he pushed back from the table, he said quietly with a smile, Do we have a tournament this week?He was ready to move on from Olympics to a claret jug. But even Spieth knows that wont happen. He said he would carry the decision with him through the Olympics and for a while.It will loom over me throughout the Olympic games, for sure, he said. I will be, Im sure, at times pretty upset that Im not down there. I thought about all this ahead of time. When I watch the opening ceremonies, thats going to be a big bummer. Then when I watch these guys competing on the golf course. Ill be texting with Rickie, obviously, throughout as a good friend of mine. I thought about all of this ahead of time and still made the decision I did because it was the right move for me. ' ' '
