Because Grossman completed 54% of his passes in 2006 and they reached the Super Bowl absolutely in spite of their offense?

The Bears had the 15th ranked offense in 2006. The defense was obviously the main force, the offense most certainly did contribute. It wasn’t a 200 Ravens situation at all. Even if what you say was true (which it isn’t even close), how would that be luck?

The Ravens won it all with Trent Dilfer at QB in 2000. The next year they didn’t even bother to bring him back.

And how did that work out for them? They’re still trying to find a competent guy to replace him.

The coaches will play the best players. This year the Bears have practically flipped a coin to choose Orton – if that gives you confidence in him, maybe you are delusional.

No, they actually gave Grossman one last chance to show that he’s improved his poor decision making under pressure. He hasn’t shown that so they’re going with the QB they’ve been developing for 3 years in case Grossman never figured it out.

I’d guess that out of Mike and brh, Mike is in fact the one who has watched football.

So you also think that’s it perfectly reasonable to judge a QB solely by his rookie performance and that teams go the superbowl because they’re lucky? Wow. This place never ceases to amuse the hell out of me.

How about the fact that he couldn’t even beat out Rex Grossman for the starting job last year – is that not relevant?

Considering he entered camp last year as the #3 QB, got little to no snaps, and was never given the opportunity to even compete with Griese for the #2 spot much less Grossman for the starting spot, no it isn’t relevant at all. The Bears were coming off a superbowl appearance and despite what the media would have you believe, Rex played good far more often then he played bad that year. Why on earth would they open up a QB competition in training camp under those circumstances?

I love delusional Bears fans.

Ah, the standard idiot TBL response. So which part am I delusional about? The part about how only a complete moron would say a team made the superbowl because they were lucky or the part about how only a complete moron would judge a QB solely by his rookie season? Both statements are absolutely true. But I’m sure it all seems totally logical to the dipshits that frequent this place. Do any of you people actually watch football or just form all your opinions from ESPN?

GDP grew at 1.9% last quarter.

How dare you.
