It’s A Start

AUTHOR: Zach | IN: Bears, Breaking News, NFL, Rumors | COMMENTS: None Yet

Well, it’s about time Coach Lovie did something about the dire starting QB spot. The question is: Is it enough?
The Bears have long been known to need a quarterback since the days of Sid Luckman, hence the predominant run-game. Even Jim McMahon, who led us to a 15-1 season and a Superbowl victory wasn’t anything special. Jim Harbaugh was awful until he went to the Colts. Since Harbaugh started for us, the following quarterbacks have also started for us:
Peter Tom Willis
Shane Matthews
Erik Kramer
Steve Walsh
Steve Stenstrom
Dave Krieg
Rick Mirer
Moses Moreno
Cade McNown
Jim Miller
Henry Burris
Chris Chandler
Cory Sauter
Rex Grossman
Kordell [...]

Griese to Start

AUTHOR: Zach | IN: Bears, Breaking News | COMMENTS: None Yet

It’s official — Rex Grossman has finally been benched! AOL Fanhouse ’s Michael David Smith is reporting that Brian Griese will be the Bears starting quarterback for this Sunday’s game against the Lions.
“The Chicago Bears will bench Rex Grossman and start Brian Griese in Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions…
“And just about every Bears fan will ask: What took so long? Grossman threw the game away Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. The Bears have a good enough defense and a good enough special teams to win a Super Bowl, and all they need is a competent quarterback. Grossman hasn’t [...]

Devin Hester’s Got Wheels

This is a picture that someone in Chicago took of Devin Hester and his ride at a gas station. I’m not even really sure what the hell kind of ride that is, but it’s pretty cool.

No Surprises Sunday Night

AUTHOR: Zach | IN: Bears, NFL | COMMENTS: None Yet

Recently I made “The Case for Kyle Orton.” Apparently Lovie Smith and the Bears weren’t listening. The fans may not have been shouting for Orton after Rex Grossman’s SECOND of THREE interceptions (which by the way was returned for a touchdown), but they were shouting, “Griese! Griese! Griese!” Nearly, 60,00 Bears fans, if not all of them. Can anyone blame them? Rex Grossman looked atrocious as usual but why didn’t Ron Turner call for more plays on the ground? I know that Dallas’ secondary was supposed to be weak, but c’mon.

The Case for Kyle Orton

AUTHOR: Zach | IN: NFL | COMMENTS: None Yet

Third string.
Kyle Orton is the Chicago Bears third string quarterback.
Behind Rex Grossman. And even behind Brian Griese.
Am I the only guy who remembers the 2005 season when Orton set Bears rookie records for games started, wins, pass attempts, completions, yards and tied for TDs. While at the same time leading Chicago to an 8-game win streak, the 2nd-most wins by a rookie QB since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970 (Ben Roethlisberger, 13 in 2004). With 10 wins, he set an NFL record for victories by a rookie QB drafted in the fourth round or lower since the draft institution in [...]
