Ok, just kidding. But it wouldn’t surprise me.
I had a disturbing hypothetical thought the other day: what if I were a Bears fan? Hilarious thought really because it’s so ridiculous and impossible. Anyway, I got to thinking that if I were a Bears fan, I would be so incredibly ticked off at management for simply not acting on a horrendous QB situation. Grossman just can’t do it - he’s not only bad, but in Chicago now, he doesn’t have any fan support so the second he makes a mistake, he’ll get booed out of there. And the fact that Bears management seems to be swayed by Orton’s final few games in pathetic. I know the guy has an incredibly misleading record as a starting QB in the NFL (13-6 or 13-7 I believe) but he’s not starting caliber. It could be that him having that OK game against the Packers at the end of last year, might have been a blessing in the long-run for the Pack.
I think it’s possible that right now, the Bears are trying very hard to trade up for Atlanta’s #3 overall pick. Rumors are that Atlanta has been talking to lots of people about this pick. Perhaps the Bears would give up their first round pick and maybe a third round pick or something to move up to the #3 pick in the hopes of landing Matt Ryan. If they don’t do this, they may hang back and pick up Brian Brohm. While I agree with Peter King that the Bears drafting for OL would be helpful (their shoddy OL play has contributed greatly to their offensive incompetence - as well as horrendous QB play), I still think a QB should be their top priority. If I were a Bears fan (thank God I’m not), I would have spent the entire 2008 off-season, all of last season and even their “Super Bowl” season seething at the QB options. All 3 of those guys simply should have been cut this off-season and they should just start over. Fortunately, the Bears continue to make all the wrong moves. Watch, they’ll probably draft a kick returner and trade Hester for a 5th round pick!
