Chicago Bears Training Camp – Day 5
Monday, July 28th, 2008Chicago Bears Training camp day 5. Peanut refining his outstanding quarterback skills. Some good some bad. It really looks like Rex is outplaying Kyle in camp. This is no surprise to me, because Rex has always been a great practice player. He just needs to relax and play his game once the season starts. The interesting things to watch here is the WR battles that are going on. Not only are Brandon Lloyd, Devin Hester, Rashied Davis, and Marty Booker battling it out, but Mike Haas has been looking good. As Roy from SportsFansNetwork points out, Rex and Haas seem to have something going. He is a Tom Waddle type receiver who just seems to hang around, and won’t quit.
To sum up, I think Rex is going to have the starting job going into the preseason, but the real battle is at the WR position.
Had to remove. Sorry.
Farve and Super Bowl, or no Farve and no SB for 20 years?
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008A friend of mine, Luke McIntosh, posed a question to me yesterday. It is a question that I am still pondering, and can’t determine what I would rather have. Here is the question: Would you rather obtain Brett Farve in some sort of trade (not sure what that would be, not important for our hypothetical situation though) and win the Super Bowl in 2009? Or would you rather have no Farve, and KNOW that you weren’t going to win the Super Bowl for the next 20 years?
This is an interesting question on so many levels. Not only because it is a question of would you want Brett Farve to win the SB, but would you be able to put team above your hatred of one particular person that has tormented you for so many years. On the outset, there is NO possible way I would want Farve. He is the essence of everything un-Bear. I think all true Bear fans would agree, a trade for Brett Farve would not only cause mass sickness and vomiting in the streets of one Windy City, but it would cause ticket sales to plummet to the floor (that is probably not true, but I would like to think it would be true). It would be like Walter Payton going to the Packers at the end of his career. It is unthinkable. But throwing in the wrench of a Super Bowl coming with Brett Farve, and no SB’s for 20 years without him starts to make your wheels turn.
So what about you? Are you willing to forget about names on jerseys and take a Super Bowl. Or do you think names on jerseys are what makes the sport so much more interesting? I am still pondering the scenario. I will get back to you…
What Are They Thinking?
Friday, November 16th, 2007With the Bears coaching staff making the decision to go with Rex Grossman, it makes many fans wonder what they are thinking. Let me tell you.
The Bears are 4-5. Last year they were 8-1 at this point so they were going to play with the guy who seriously gave them the best chance of winning. This year, Brian might give them a slightly better chance of winning, but not enough to put Rex out there, let him develop, and see if he is a guy who they want to resign at the end of the year. Brian has not helped his case by throwing 10 INTs in the 6 games that he has started, and not moving the offense in the Raiders game, so the Bears might really feel like Rex gives them a better chance of winning. We all have seen that Rex at his best is better than Griese at his best, and it is worth it to try to get Rex back to his good self. Overall, I think the decision is now just as much developing a quarterback and evaluation as much as it is about winning games. Whether you like it or not, it is a very long shot for the Bears to get into the playoffs, and an even longer shot for them to win the Superbowl – So why not do all that you can to make sure your team is as good as it can be for next year, and that starts with trying to get Rex back to the MVP of the month form, that we saw last year.
