Marty Booker Doesn't Care
Many on the team and almost all off the team are still worried if any Bears QB will be able to get the job done. Marty Booker for one doesn't care who lines up under center. Of course that might have to do with the fact that he has been on two teams, Chicago and Miami, that have had a revolving door at the position.
"Dude, in my career I've had like almost 20 different quarterbacks (17 actually), so as far as adjusting to anybody, that's not a problem," he said. "That's the least of everything."
While on the Bears Booker has caught passes from the likes of Shane Matthews, Cade McNown, Henry Burris, Jim Miller and Cory Sauter.
The Miami Dolphins used 9 QBs over the last 4 years.
Regardless of why he is able to remain careless, it is nice to hear somebody take the I'm coming to work to do my job and not worry about somebody else's.

he got some reps with rex as well. i believe It was his last season in chicago.
I dont know if anyone is really worried on the team about the qbs. I think most of the guys in the locker room have respect for both players. both guys have had long enough in the system that this angelo plan might actually work.
Going into training camp if all spots are competing, I really don’t think the qb spot is the weakest.

I don't think you can say that
I think a lot of the guys have a right to be concerned. For 2-3 years they never know what they are going to get out of QB. With Rex at the beginning it was either 2 TDs and 0INTs or it was 0 TDs and 3 INTs. As a player you have to be concerned.
With Orton so far they probably are least comfortable with him being consistent. He hasn’t had many really bad games, but hasn’t had many really good ones. Hopefully if we can reestablish a run game, we don’t need huge games from them.

Receivers truly shine
when they have a QB they’re familiar with and a playbook that doesn’t change year after year.

I still can't figure that one out
Yes, he got better money, but he went to a run first team that can actually run and another crappy QB.

Agreed. That is either just Berrian making excuses...
...for taking more money, or (which I think is possible), Childress did a real sell job of Jackson to Berrian. Probably told him: “He’s had his struggles, but he’s our guy, no if’s, and’s or but’s about it. We think there’s no doubt that by 2009, you two can be the top WR-QB duo in the division.”
I’ll assume it was about the money (when is it not?), but I’m sure he got placated on a QB carousel as well.

i don't get it either
and i honestly would call bullshit had i not heard him say it “himself” via radio. I don’t think anyone would say the bears are in a better position that the vikings, except for maybe the most optimitic of bears fans who expect a perfectly healthy (and present) defense and an inexplicable belief in grosston coming through and hester STILL being kicked to.
even stil tavarias jackson sucks, but maybe booty will be ready to play in a couple years, and maybe berrian was made aware that they would actively try to make that position better, versus what this franchise presently does.
pretty awesome hester could realistically break the all time career record this year.

Man.....
Berrian sux, Tavaris Jackson sux, and Childress sux.
Bottom line is unless the VIkings D can score 21 pts a game, they shouldn’t be considered a threat. 8-8 at best. The Bears, well 4-12 seems accurate.

the lions are winning the division, unles the vikes do it at .500.

This is one of the best titles I have ever seen for an article.
I don’t even remember Cory Sauter. But hey if Booker is going to be a guy who shows up and just does his job thats fine with me. I always got the impression that Moose wanted Grossman in there just because he could have better games than if Orton was throwing.

Put Booker in cell #1, and give him a drink.
“What do you drink?”
“I don’t care.”

I was playing Madden '06 earlier and Cory Sauter is a FA. Haha, as are both Miller and Matthews.
