The "What If" Game

…but he’s likely to be available again in 3 months, considering Hill has solidified himself as the #2 behind Stafford.

I like Stanton, and the Bears obviously aren’t happy with Hanie, considering they drafted LeFevour and put Collins above Hanie on the depth chart. But, I don’t think the Bears will bring anyone else in until the season is over.

Then again, I ain’t no doctor, so who knows what the prognosis for Cutler is. And considering how atrocious our OL is, there’s no way we don’t keep 3 QBs on the roster.

I always like him…I thought that he was never “coached up” properly…Maybe Mad Mike could be a career saver for Leinhert…he really couldn’t do any worse than Collins and he wouldn’t cost us anything to get him!!!

But he is under contract, so getting him out of it might be a bit expensive.

Out of who’s left right now, I’d probably have to choose McCown just b/c he has played in the system.

a certain Michael Ditka was qb

If Jerry was any good at his job at all, and built an offensive line that was capable of blocking, we wouldn’t be looking for a quality backup.

But the O line has shown to be a major liability, and so not only is JA on the hook for a weak offensive line, but for having an incapable backup QB as well. And now it feels like he wants a do-over. It’s like we’re playing Madden in Franchise mode.

It just never seems to stop with these jokers. And now here we are, un freaking believably 4-1 sitting atop the division with one heck of a cupcake schedule coming up and thus, a real shot to make the playoffs, which means JA and Lovie will more than likely get to keep their jobs, which means next year, when we play a harder schedule, we won’t make the playoffs and that off-season we’ll hear about management needing to produce results and make the playoffs in order to keep their jobs.

All the while, we’ve got fans with broken hearts and once in a lifetime players like Urlacher, Briggs, and Hester suffering the demise of having been selected to play for a team with a coach who can’t coach and a GM who can’t bring in the help the team needs to win a championship.

And with the parody we have this year, it’s practically criminal; negligence that the O line wasn’t properly addressed this past off-season. I think we all predicted this.

“Kev H is our quarterback.”

Oh right, that opportunity knocked and we didn’t answer the door. Now it’s too late.

That’s just my opinion.

If they were going to though, i’d suggest McCown. I remember at the beginning of the season, our hopes and dreams are pinned on Cutler, If he’s out, all we can do is pray that the backup qb knows how to feed the ball to Forte.

We have a backup QB his name is Caleb Hanie.

This is no time to bring in another Todd

And I certainly hope that we don’t have to worry about backup QB’s as the season progresses. It’s interesting why the Bears haven’t had great confidence in Hanie, because he’s always played very respectably ever since he joined the team during the 2008 Grossman-Orton preseason debacle.

But Jamarcus could play multiple positions for us, backup QB, a guard position, or DL. Might be some value there.

Just kidding : )

The front office. Another d-line man lol. No but seriuosly we need to drop him and sign an OL or Garcia

Our problem is the Oline so why are we talking backup qbs? It’s like taking your car to a mechanic and having them tell you “Your brakes need to be replaced” and I respond “Great can you flush the radiator please.” Is Logan Mankins no longer available? We need to start addressing the problem not slapping band-aids over a broken bone!

All those bums aren’t upgrades from Collins, so what’s the point? Like he said, it was by far his worst game in 20 starts in his career. Leave him be, and let him hold a clipboard for Jay and/or Caleb.

We could use his fat ass on our horrendous offensive line.

You guys are nuts- Todd Collins has a guaranteed contract so he will stay on as the QB in any event.

I’m a tad disappointed by the consensus. I kind of like the guy. I followed the bucs for a couple of games (I live in California, so not every Sunday consists of Bears football on TV) and thought he did a pretty good job at QB the year he led them to the playoffs at 11-5 and they lost because of Edell Shepherd’s dropped, wide open, through his hands, endzone pass. He ruptured his spleen the year after and never started again. I don’t think he’s proven he can’t be a good football player, or that he isn’t one. He just hasn’t had many opportunities after his injury.

Nuff said
