Pixote Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Personally, after today's performance, I would just as well see Caleb Hanie start against GB than Rex Grossman if Kyle Orton is not ready to start next week. I do not see how he can do any worse than what I watched today. What do you guys think? I pray that Kyle is ready to go next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has 31 games under his belt. We simply need him to play better. No need to worry though. Kyle will start this week - book it.

Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Rex had one of his better games in 2006 @ Green Bay. You have to give him the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iguana Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 You could put Brad Maynard in there against Rex and I'd pick Maynard. I finished with Wrecks. period. I hope he's never on the field again for the Bears. it's a complete disservice for the entire team to send him out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, you think Caleb Hanie is going to beat GB in GB????? No way, no how should he play unless both Kyle and Rex cannot. Rex has beaten GB in GB.

Da Bears 88 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Caleb Hanie in Lambeau.............. He'll suck too and you'll be complaining about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubbiesFan07 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Just a hard-stat-fact on Grossman and Green Bay Through 4 games in his career: 41 Completions 79 Attempts 51.8% Completion Percentage 593 Passing Yards 6 Interceptions 3 Touchdowns 57.6 QB Rating I'd look to see Hanie if Grossman plays like he did today.

Bears4Ever_34 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I personally would go with Caleb Haine. I've seen enough with Rex. I'm tired of seeing batted down balls at the line of scrimmage, over thrown passes, throwing behind a reciever, not knowing how to audible, and looking like a total idiot. With that said, Rex will probably start just because he has the experience and usually does pretty well against the Packers. Deep down inside I am just hoping for a miracle that Kyle's ankle heals up enough to play and perform well next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan Grizzly Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 My vote is on Hanie playing. I was ready to see him before the 2nd half started. My wife says that she would even like to see Urlacher play QB at this point. Not much of a passing game, but the Bears were never really known for their passing eh?

ChileBear Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 that's the thing. I dont think he can play better. he is what he is and that's very, very bad. Yeah, Rex will get the start if Kyle can't go. BUt I'd bring in Hanie in a heartbeat if Rex struggles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixote Posted November 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Although I started off the thread saying I would start Caleb over Rex I think now, after cooling off a bit, Rex would be the logical starter but, with that said, if he struggled again in the first half against GB I would pull him in a heartbeat and see if Hanie could salvage a win for us.

DaBearSox Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 You just can't start Caleb Hanie.... He was losing to bad college teams last year...went undrafted...and saw a few minutes of playing time in the preseason against teams 3rd defenses.... saying he would out preform Rex is somewhat ludacris... That being said my vote is for Kyle, or Jo Jo the poo flinging monkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlithuanian Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Call me crazy...but go with Hanie. If he sucks, then put in Grossman. Grossman has at least of late, done better coming in than starting. Personally, after today's performance, I would just as well see Caleb Hanie start against GB than Rex Grossman if Kyle Orton is not ready to start next week. I do not see how he can do any worse than what I watched today. What do you guys think? I pray that Kyle is ready to go next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flea Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Unfortunately Rex is really the only option we have. An UDFA getting his 1st start in |Lambeau. I shudder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo3451 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I'm voting for Grossman, with a hook at halftime if he does not show anything. At least Hanie could provide some hope in the second half. Also, Hanie could play like he has nothing to lose. Rex has a whole career on the line during the time Kyle is out. Hanie can completely suck and it will all be attributed to him getting his 1st action. If he's a hero, he still doesn't take Kyle's spot.

Clenched_CLAW Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I know this thread is hypothetical but I hope everyone realizes there isnt a chance in hell Hanie plays ahead of Rex. I can agree with starting Rex over Hanie as the ONLY option this week, but, a wise coach would keep a second half option open to show his team that he is committed to winning and EVERY position is accountable, especially given the history with Rex and his likely future elsewhere next season.

Pixote Posted November 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I know this thread is hypothetical but I hope everyone realizes there isnt a chance in hell Hanie plays ahead of Rex. I know, and agree, that there is no way Hanie starts. Just wanted to see posters opinion on a what if? I would start Rex, but if at the end of the half he is stinking up the joint, (again, assumjing in this what if scenerio, Orton can not play) then I would pull him in a heart beat and insert Hanie. Now, again, I do not think the Bears would do this, but I never expected to see Orton declared the starter his rookie season either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkBomber Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 If we were out of contention Id like to see what Hanies got but this isnt the time. Also, its not like Hanie is the future, they plan on Orton being the guy so they are going to play who they think gives them the best chance to win.
