Will Bears Create Quarterback Shuffle in Free Agency?

Okay, now that the geek driven four-day event what’s known as the NFL combine is over, teams can begin to put their entire focus on formulating its 2007 roster, whether it’d be through the draft or free agency…Woo Hoo. The baby steps have begun…Some teams have decided to give a player the ‘franchise tag" and for all intense purposes take the easy way out in giving them a new deal. Others have announced to the rest of the league that certain players are up for trade, but don’t be mislead…It’s not coming as bargain prices. While a handfull of players who may or may not have been monumental in a teams success last season looks to be on their way to other cities and dawning new threads for the 2007 season.
Then we come to the Chicago Bears. So they made Super Bowl XLI…Last time I checked, nobody remembers who comes in second. Since playing in that game a little over three weeks ago, well, if the Bears didn’t have question marks going into that game, they sure as hell do now! Ron Riveria was shown the door, but had no trouble landing on his feet in San Diego. Lovie Smith, besides guiding the Bears to their first Super Bowl appearance in 21-years, seems to have one foot out the door as well over a bitch slap in the face…Or what’s referred to the Bears and is looked by them to be a fair, market value contract offer. Now for the big question mark for the Bears in 2007…It’s the same question Bear fans had on a weekly basis this past season. Rex Grossman!
I know Lovie, as Rex as your quarterback you managed to lose the Super Bowl…Although, perhaps you haven’t heard, "Two is not a winner"! In fact not only did he lose the Super Bowl, the finger can be pointed at his play for the three regular season losses the team accumulated. If we actually think about it, Super Bowl XLI summed up his entire sorry ass season…As he couldn’t seem to get out of his own way the entire evening, again summing up his season to the "T" It looked like he was being intimidated by everyone, everything, including the rain drops that fell, and the field monster that seemed to be giving him problems as well! Now I can say this, because I had the pleasure, (well, I think it was a pleasure) of being front and center and to witness, without a doubt the worst QB performance in Super Bowl history. Now the question that I have and it’s a fair one…I don’t believe Grossman will ever recover from that game. It’s just like Phil Mickelson and the U.S. Open last June…Has lefty recovered from that, um no! Will he ever…No, not completely. However, in Lefty’s case, his inconsistent play only affects him and only him….For he doesn’t have to be a piece to the puzzle. He is the piece! Won’t see blunders affecting a carton of eggs because he doesn’t have to fit into a carton of eggs…For he’s the chicken that laid them.
See in Grossman, first off he’s isn’t the most confident signal caller…Sure, he’ll tell you that, but Chad Johnson also said he was going to beat up Ray Lewis too. The reality is, Rex has maxe out…He will never see another successful year like he just had, (wait, does that make any sense what so ever? Is "successful" the correct word to use?). Everything will be a downward tailspin! As a starting quarterback reaching another Super Bowl, there’s a better chance of hell freezing over than that happening…I’ll bet my brand new house on that, just hope to God lightning doesn’t strike twice! As we all saw this past season, a rotten egg in a carton…Well, that combination can’t and won’t get it done! Ever! Problem is the Sexy One, sad to say, but that’s the best the Bears have to offer out of their Moe, Larry, and Curly, (or is it Shemp or Joe)…What can also be referred as "Bad, Badder, & Baddest"! Yes indeed, the quarterback situation in Chi-Town is certainly not a "Sexy One", (no pun intended)…Grossman, Griese, & Orton, sounds like a damn good firm instead! Unfortunately, of this trio…It’s without a doubt the worst quarterback trio in the league today…I’d even go as far to say, it’s one of the worst quarterback trio’s in NFL history! However, here’s what I want to know. I wonder what kind of ring that firm would have if it was Garica, Grossman, & Greise? Hey, it’s the Three G’s! Perhaps Carr, Grossman, & Orton…Grossman, Griese, Schaub?
One would like to assume with these names out possibly being out there…The Bears might like to go after one! Unfortuately, everybody knows that this is wishful thinking on my part, but why? Oh yeah, I almost forgot…The Bears are too freaking cheap to pay a GOOD quarterback, who might actually have the abilities to help, rather than hurt the team! Hey Chicago, here’s some inside information…The Rex Grossman Number Eight ship that you road this past year all the way to South Florida, well guess what? That ship sunk! It will forever lie somewhere beneath the grass at Dolphins Stadium! It’s never comes back…Well hopefully!
With so many possible viable candidates to be the new skipper on the 2007 Chicago Bears ship, why not seriously consider one of these options? I mean, what’s there to lose? Another Super Bowl?
