Da Bears Fans Loving QB Moves

One More Year? I'll Drink to That

When you're a Jets fan, occassionally you must indulge in the guily pleasure of enjoying the sorrow and angst of fans of other NFL franchises. Now, the Bears made a nice little run not too long ago, so they really don't have that much to complain about. Generally speaking, we'd trade spots with them in a heartbeat. Well, maybe not in the quarterback department.

While one can seriously debate the future of the Jets situation behind center, Orton and Grossman is a starting quarterback dilemma no fan should have to face. The notion of that debate alone induces nausea...and we're not even Bears fans. Imagine what they're feeling. Actually, why exert any energy conjuring up their venom when the wonders of the Web can deliver them directly? A few of our favorite musings from around this here blogosphere...

The thought of Lovie Smith standing at the podium, declaring that,"Rex is our quarterback" and saying it with a straight face, sends chills down my spine.

Crappy winter,The Bulls suck, The White Sox don't look too impressive, and now this. Put Angelo, Lovie, and Wrecks on a small rocket and blast them all into the black hole.

Reader comments from the Chicago Tribune ...

"Insanity: Doing the same things over and over and over and over and over and expecting different results."

"The impending 'battle for the quarterback job' is like watching season premier week on Me-TV. Hype it all you want, it's second rate reruns. By the way, early in every episode you remember how it turns out."

"Not only unbelievable, but unBEARable. 3 million dollars for a deer in the headlights quarterback? Oh! please spare us from another losing season?"

From Da Bears blog...

"One more year of Kyle "I can't hit the broad side of a barn" Orton...Tell me, which one of you guys is in charge of Jerry Angelo a bouquet of flowers for his wondrous job building the NFC's most explosive offense???"

"Like I've always said, when a team says it has two starter-grade quarterbacks then it means it doesn't even have one. Good luck with that Kyle Orton and Rex Grossman thing Chicago."

"Like watching a train wreck in slow motion."

"Speechless, that pretty much sums up my feelings for rex"

Perhaps Rumors and Rants summed it up best in this post, the intro of which is included below...

"Hey guess what Bears fans? You know how your team decided to bring back a quarterback who's virtually worthless last week? Well, the did it again tonight! That's right, not only is the Sex Cannon going to be back in the Windy City next year, so will Kyle Orton as he continues his way to dying young due to cirrhosis of the liver."

We should note that many, many die-hards are lauding the moves. But how much fun is it to read those comments?
