They basically blew it. They have had a great defense for about 5 or 6 years and anyone with a double digit IQ knew that the one thing they lacked was a QB. (of course, letting the wrong RB get away last year was not too bright either)
Why in the world they not did go after an established free agent QB such as Warner or Brees or a host of others that were available. Or even trade up in the draft and get one of the top kids like Brady Quinn.
But you what? I think that it's now too late. Their defense slipped a bunch this year and Briggs will most likely be gone and Urlacher is definitely going downhill. I personally think that they now could get Brady or Peyton and turm them into very average QB's in a heartbeat.
However, if memory serves me right...I was wrong once before about something.  |
That assessment is pretty much spot on...and we Bears fans have been suffering this entire time (or at least I have) while pleading for us to get a QB. The superbowl was ours last year with a half way competent QB, but instead we had Rex.
