I have sit back and watched the Bears season in sadness! I have watched Grossman and Griese and all along I have been saying put in Orton.... yet, he getsoverlooked..
Orton when he played; put us in winning positions, even though that was his rookie season. If anyone watched Purdue football; they will realize that Orton hasa big arm. When Orton played he was restricted in what he could throw. He did alot of dink and dunk type passes for 5-10 yards.
I say let's give Orton the remainder of the season. Let him show what he has and go from there. Grossman is on IR and Griese is more of a adequate backup,than a starter. I guarantee you, if Orton is given His oppertunity he will do well. I just would hate to see some other team pick up Orton and benifit from Hisproduction, without us even giving Him 'his' oppertunity.
As for running backs.. Benson and Peterson are not the answers. Peterson is a good special teamer; not a lead running back and Benson? well, even though I likethe guy; he doesn't appear to be the answer. Garrett Wolfe should get a shot to display what he has. This is the time of the year where teams that are outof the playoffs usually play their potential players to see what they have. Let's see what we have in Garrett Wolfe.
Receivers.. wow, Berrian turned down a contract offer from the Bears. He may be on His way out guys. That means if He goes, then we have a major hole to fillat receiver as well.. Our offseason, when it comes.. is going to have a lot of questions conerning who we will keep and who we can possibly pickup through freeagency, draft, or trade.
I agree with everyone about the Offensive Line; but put in perspective because of age, there has been more injuries to our OLine. We have had a lot of reservesfilling in as starters. Ofcouse, there will be a drop off in protection to the quarterback and running game.
We need a solid DT to come along side of Tommie Harris. We picked up Walker and he did okay... but yet again.. injuries have devastated the Bears this season.When I had heard the Bears traded Chris Harris to the Panthers... I was like WHY!? That was an awful move... we went to the Super Bowl last year because of ourdepth throughout the roster and then when we started getting rid of it. We began falling apart. Chris Harris has given Carolina help at Safety and us a hugevoid.
We are most likely going to lose Lance Briggs as well guys... so were going to need some serious impact players. The Bears motto through the rough years wasdrafting and developing and they developed into good players for the most part... unfortunately... when that occurs; there is a good chance you will lose someof the players you develop..because the NFL being the business it is.
Tough season guys.
