The QB controversy isn't over, they just don't have anyone good to compete with him, which is incredibly sad.

Next year they'll be in the same boat.

Is it me or did having Jim McMahon on that 85 SB team ruin them? Because the won win McMahon.

For some reason they think they can win the SB with ANY QB. Even then McMahon was decent enough sometimes, but they've wasted a good number of years with a stellar defense, thinking any ol Qb will do because 'defense wins championships'.
Too true. Too true.

That and they could run the ball like a mother.

Dummies still think the weather in the playoffs means you can't pass/ don't have to pass the ball.

Good job Orton.

In other news, Rosenfels is Dutch for Grossman.

I'm sure Grossman's thrilled that the Bears FINALLY have something resembling a running game now that Orton's been given the job. Grossman earned his spot on the bench but that's pretty bad luck for a QB to have Jones taken away and get stuck with Benson.

I wonder if Orton will get to start long enough to follow in Brees' career footsteps. It wasn't that long ago that Brees was considered a bust after 3 years in San Diego. 28 starts and San Diego had essentially written him off by drafting Rivers.

Edit: the more I look at Orton's production, the more inclined I am to think he might have a shot. Each year his completion %, ypa, td% and rating have gone up and the Bears are 15-8 in his starts.
