There was a 4 minute difference in the posts....lighten up Francis...
Awful title to that thread.
If they don't address QB at the draft or in FA, I think the FO may be fire bombed....How long has it been since they legitimately addressed the QB situation in Chicago? If you count drafting Orton as legit fix to the QB situation then it's been 4 years. But I don't think Orton was a legit fix. More of a long shot. So then you have to go back to 6 years since they have really looked at the QB position....How can an NFL team wait that long to do something about their most important position?
You're asking that of a Viking fan?
You can't cut him because he'll probably be starting by week 3 or 4 because Orton will most likely be carried off the field on a stretcher.
They really convinced themselves they had the future in sexy Rexy. I know they saw his occasional brilliant flashes of upside, but how long does he have to be consistent before you deal with the fact he just wasn't going to be the answer?
That's what Vinny Testaverde is for. Since the season is basically lost already, I say the Bears follow the spirit of Neckbeard and this post, and just go with a Pirate them all season. Puffy shirts under their unis, eye-patches (depth perception schmepth perception), plastic parrots, tri-cornered hats, the whole nine. Show the Bucs how to really do it. If we're going to get slaughtered every week, we might as well look absolutely ridiculous doing it. Then we can write off the whole year as "The Pirate Year"Hey, it worked for Senator Blutarsky.
You clearly get it!The only thing Orton has shown is the ability to get a bit to drinky and do it with a horrible beard.
George Bush: Let me sum up. On track, stay the course. Thousand points of light.Diane Sawyer: Governor Dukakis. Rebuttal?
When was Sid Luckman selected?In all seriousness, Angelo's unwillingness to revisit the QB position on a yearly basis has been criminal for an NFL gm. And if you look at his track record in drafting offense (Grossman, Benson, David Terrell, Marc Colombo all in the first round during his tenure), you have to wonder how much longer he has as the GM if the Bears are as bad as they look to be this year. The year the Bears had to start Orton as a rookie when Rex went down was an unbelievably irresponsible job by Angelo.
We need a poll:Which will be the worst offense:Chicago BearsKansas City ChiefsSan Francisco 49ersAtlanta FalconsMiami Dolphins
I think if it goes this way, we should make Lovie take a snap for every time he said "Rex is our quarterback."Why do I have the feeling that there will be a thread for the starting CHI QB each week of the season? Week 1 = OrtonWeek 2 = GrossmanWeek 3 = Back to OrtonWeek 4 = Back to GrossmanWeek 5 = Kevin JonesWeek 6 = The Hot Dog vendorYou get the point!
I'm not really excited about any of those offenses of course, but I can find at least one or sometimes two guys from each of those other teams I'd take. I won't take any Chicago players, so at least from a FF perspective, they rate the worst for me.At the right spot, I'd take Larry Johnson, Bowe and Gonzalez from KC. I'd take Gore and maybe a WR from San Fran. I'd take Turner, maybe Roddy White in Atlanta, and I'd take Williams or Brown from Miami. I can't imagine how far a Bear would have to fall before I'd grab them, but suffice to say, they won't fall that far.
Dude, the Bears won in spite of Orton that season. He was a rookie way in over his head. At least last year he played somewhat less like a deer caught in front of a semi on a highway. I'm hoping the defense plays the way it did in 2005. They will need to score at least one TD per game to keep the Bears in the game.
they did do something -- they signed grossman.
Martz's QB's might have a different take on what "VD" stands for.
F) Baltimore Ravens
You list Martz and VD here? Why? Martz hasn't really done anything NFL wise. Great for Fantasy, but not the NFL. VD has done jack. How do you not mention Gore here?
Exaaaactly.
Well, not speaking for sholditch, but this is a fantasy football board.
I actually love this news.
