madlithuanian Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I'm glad you seem so diplomatic! I, for one, have too much emotion and experience invested with these guys, that seeing Rex get it I think will be a big mistake. I could be wrong, but I just don't think so. If Rex wins and tears it up - great. If Kyle wins and he tears it up - great. I don't care who at this point - someone please step up. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Orton. Hands down. Even if Gorssman outdoes Orton by a bit, I still go with Orton. He handled the job well at the end of the season and has never been given the chance to truly start. Didn't Orton start most of 2005?

madlithuanian Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 He did...but I don't think you can propperly judge the man as he was a bonafide rookie. And he rarely made big mistakes even then... Didn't Orton start most of 2005? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 He did...but I don't think you can propperly judge the man as he was a bonafide rookie. And he rarely made big mistakes even then... He had 4 more INT than TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBearSox Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 lol Yeah but I'm wary of trading for another ND qb. well there was that one guy...I think his name was Joe Montana......ha wouldn't we be so lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkerBear7 Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I say no to Dante but if he is healthy and was cheap than maybe depending what the staff thinks about our undrafted QB's: I have projected Rex's numbers over 90 starts assunimg he never improves and compared them to Dante's 90 career starts; please remeber the receivers that Rex had vs. what Dante had available. Rex: Career Stats (only 30 career starts) Passing Rushing Comp Att Pct Yds Avg TD Int Sck SckY Rate Att Yds Avg TD FUM Lost TOTAL 489 900 54.3 5,907 6.6 31 33 56 412 70.9 52 76 1.5 1 19 10 *90 start projection while assuming Rex does not improve * 1467 2700 54.3 11,814 6.6 93 99 168 1236 70.9 156 228 1.5 3 57 30 Dante: 8 year Career Stats (90 career starts) TOTAL 1,867 2,927 63.8 22,422 7.7 142 94 270 1,494 89.9 484 2,536 5.2 33 93 38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlithuanian Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 That's still a ton less than Rex... And 4 more pics does not = big mistake? We're those pics on game ending drives,etc? He had 4 more INT than TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearFan2000 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 If Rex wins and tears it up - great. If Kyle wins and he tears it up - great. I don't care who at this point - someone please step up. Peace For me this is what it boils down to. I'm sick and tired of excuses, QB changes, endless dabate over who's better, conspiracy theories, etc. Like most Bear fans here and everywhere we want someone to step up and take the job. If it's Orton, great, if it's Grossman, great, if it's someone else great. I'm just tired of the carousel. I want someone take the job by force rather than us settling or trying to pick who we think is least likely to drag the team down. I know this is the Chicago Bears and our past at the QB position is atrocious at best. It's time we change that pattern. I hope that Grossman, Orton, Hill and that other guy will compete hard, wouldn't it be nice for a change to see our QB's performing well during preseason and making it a choice of who impressed the most rather than who screwed up the least? Maybe that's too much to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
