The Chicago Bears named Kyle Orton the starting QB today over Rex Grossman. Given that Grossman was their QB for the Super Bowl run two years ago, and to this point Orton is more famous for his ability to pound Jack Daniels than to pass a football, one might say the Bears have, uh, not managed this position with the best effort they could muster.
Then again, Grossman is probably more famous for being the Sex Cannon than for his ability to pass a football. So it’s not inconceivable that Orton could win the job, but seriously: Between those two guys and the fact that losing the likes of Bernard Berrian, Justin Gage, Bobby Wade, and a 77-year-old Muhsin Muhammad represents a major dropoff in WR talent, I’m not sure the Bears even intend to pass this season. It’s like this team is deliberately trying to sabotage its offense to lower expectations.
Seriously, though: Orton-to-Hester has a chance to be the Donald Hollas-to-James Jett of the 2000s.
