Composite f(n)=n2+bn+c

Prove that there is a quadratic f(n)=n2+bn+c, with positive integers coefficients b, c, such that f(n) is composite (i.e, not prime) for all positive integers n, or else prove that the statement is false.









== Attempt ==
  f(n)=n2+bn+c=(n2+b2)2b24+c
This means when
  c=b24
Then,
  f(n)=(n2+b2)2
which is composite !
