Getting the Bears back to the Super Bowl (1 Viewer)

bring in a probable replacement for a QB that led got completely carried by his team to a SB.

edit to add: did Dilfer get jettisoned right after winning the SB, or 1 year later?

Fixed above quote, and yes Dilfer was in Seattle the very next season.

Dilfer did not win a SB with Seattle...

6. Play against a creampuff schedule again.

I just looked at their 2007 schedule and it isn't pretty. Aside from their divisional games they have:Home

Cowboys

Giants

Saints

Broncos

Chiefs

Away

Eagles

Redskins

Seahawks

Chargers

Oof.

The bold teams above are overrated and their defenses were mediocre. How is that scary?

So every NFC playoff team is "overrated" sans the Bears?

Everybody will tell you the NFC is weak. Even the Bears.

Dilfer won a SB in Balimore and ended up in Seattle the year following. I thought that's the question he was asking - did I read it wrong?

1- get a new QB. period

I can't believe people are still defending Grossman, it's frankly pathetic. He's obviously not cut out for it.Put a guy like Jeff Garcia on the squad and you're looking at a strong favorite to win it all.

What are your opinions of Steve Young? was he a terrible QB? Here are his stats for his first full year as a starter (Tampa Bay) compared to Rex's:Young:1986 tam | 14 | 195 363 53.7 2282 6.3 8TDs 13INTs Grossman:2006 chi | 16 | 262 480 54.6 3193 6.7 23TDs 20INTs The point is, give him some time...

Tampa was 2-14 in 1986, and had the most points scored against in the league that year. Excellent comparison.

What does points allowed and record have anything to do with HIS stats? ...

One QB is in an ideal situation: playing for a 13-3 SB team that had one of the best defenses and STs in the league. The other QB played for a 2-14 team that gave up more points than all but one team in the last 20 years? Sounds like a perfectly valid comparison to me.

Agreed, but if "everyone will tell you that the NFC is weak" how can they be overrated?The fact is that they are playing the same number of NFC teams in 2007 as in 2006 so the "NFC is overrated" argument doesn't impact their strength of schedule, they are just replacing the NFC West with the NFC East, but they keep the toughest team from the West on their schedule--Seattle. It's a matter of opinion, but I think the NFC East is tougher than the West.
