Chicago Bears re-sign TrainRex...WTF

Woohoo! My first post on the new board in the new forum turns out to be...a bitch thread. :lol:

Is the NFL really THAT short on quality QBs? Sad day for Bears fans, as upper management somehow thought this guy was worth another year despite playing a whopping 32 games in 5 years, with most of those being thoroughly average to mediocre performances.

Yeah, just wait till next year. :rolleyes:
 
I found that signing funny. It seems like everyone in Chicago hates this guy yet the management still decide to sign him for a one year deal. That denial is almost like Nolan relying on Trent Dilfer. Dedication to a guy can only go so far.

but you've still got Griese, right?

I don't think Griese's going to be with the Bears much longer, personally. They seem to have gone into full-on rebuilding mode with this move (or lack of a move) so having Orton as a backup with a new QB is probably what they're thinking.

I guess the NFL IS that short on QBs when people suggest the completely unproven Billy Volek would be the answer for the Bears. :wtf:
 
Hey, Grossman does make Bears football exciting!

I'm just wondering if he'll be their starter? :)

Volek had a better season as a starter for Tennessee in 2004 than any season Grossman's put together so far.

Forget New England and every other team in the league--the Grossman/Orton duel for the Bears' starting QB job will be utterly engrossing. :guffaw:
 
Not only do the Bears decided to sign Grossman, they decide to give a one-year deal to keep Orton too! Maybe they just don't want to win this year.

Or maybe they're looking to find the next Cade McNown in the draft. :p

Also, Billy Volek signed a three-year deal to stay with the Chargers.

There isn't a shortage of good QBs in the NFL -- there's just a certain outdated way of evaluating them that means the big school QBs that put up awesome combine numbers will keep getting chances while a lot of other QBs will simply go ignored and not be given a shot.
