There's No Such Thing As Bear Fighting, Right?

Just throwing this out there, would Michael Vick be a fit for the Chicago Bears? Personally speaking, this Bears offense is not going to be anything special in the next 3 years, so why not take a chance on Michael Vick. He has the rocket arm, though his accuracy rivals the sex cannon. It's unlikely a large market team such as Chicago is would sign a recently incarcerated felon, but winning should be more of a priority than media relations.

The Bears organization seems to be sticking behind Kyle Orton, proclaiming him the starting quarterback for the foreseeable future. Yes, Kyle did play reasonably well last year, but his 2008 season was very similar to Grossman's 2006 campaign, without the massive extremes of course. The first half of the season was solid, with 10TD versus 4int. However, the second half was a disaster. Yes, he did have a high ankle sprain, much like Patrick Kane back on New Year's Eve which he has yet to recover from, but if it was that a problem they should have put in, eek, the sex cannon. Ortons's final 8 games featured a 1:1 TD/int ratio, a low 50's% completion percentage, and averaging about 170 yards per game. It didn't help to have Ron Turner calling plays or having Devin Hester as the only wide receiver option or a weak defense that gave up 90 yard drives like they were going through the I-Pass lane. Orton is not the option!

If Jerry Angelo doesn't have the stones to go after Vick, Jeff Garcia would give the Bears a better chance to compete next year. I believe Derrek Anderson would be an upgrade and expect him to rebound next year for whatever team he is on. Obviously, the QB isnt the sole problem child on the Bears roster, but let's not forget about it due to all the other deficiencies this team has.

Who do you want starting for the Bears at QB?

I have nothing against Michael Vick that he's a convicted felon, I have a problem that he's a crappy QB. Michael Vick can't pass and we don't need another crappy player.

I absolutely love Jeff Garcia because he's mobile AND he can pass but his age really concerns me. However, I would totally risk money on him considering on what he's done the past 3 years

I worry about Derek Anderson just because the Bears would have to give up to get him. If Anderson were already I Bear Id day give him the job but as last year showed, (yes his follies were not HIS fault at all and was the team around him) but it's not like the Bears team is all that good itself. Our O-line is shitty and our receivers are worse than Cleveland's so what would Derek do in Chicago that he couldn't have done in Cleveland?

I think Orton is just fine. He's young and capable. I think if the Bears build up their O-line and get ONE top tier receiver Orton will be better. There's no need to waste time building up a position when this team has so many other deficiencies that could help the QB position.
