madlithuanian Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Just heard on the news. Should be better...but not good enough to beat the Packers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan Grizzly Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 You know whats going to stink is IF (big IF) McCown were to win...or even play really well, I may not be as optimistic about some of the choices the staff has made as of late. Don't get me wrong, I would love nothing more than a win...I'm just sayin. Happy Holidays everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubbiesFan07 Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 This is a terrible decision. McCown is going to play like McNown. Not saying Hanie should start, but we KNOW what McCown can do (nothing) why not give Nathan a start? I can't stand this decision, nor the signing in the first place. At least Hanie could scramble... McCown has cement on his feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I also wish they'd just throw Enderle to the wolves and see what he has. Putting in a stop-gap only makes sense if the gap gets stopped and there isn't enough water pouring through to make it worthwhile. Unfortunately for the Bears, the water is gushing through, there is no chance to stop the leak, and McCown won't lead the team to a miraculous wildcard.

madlithuanian Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Agreed. My preference would be to see what Enderle has...he was courted by Martz. However, given Caleb or Josh, I'll take Josh. I have a feel ing he won't botch the gimmes that Caleb has been botching... Maybe McCown is auditioning for a back-up here? But, yuck anyway.

DABEARSDABOMB Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Curious to see how he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balta1701-A Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Agreed. My preference would be to see what Enderle has...he was courted by Martz. If the guys who wanted him and are likely in his court come out and say he's not ready, then I'll take their word for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather see Enderle as well. Don't think McCown is going to offer much more production, but Hanie had to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskan Grizzly Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I think if there is ANY hope in getting into the playoffs...which there is that ever so slight possibility, then the team should go with McCown. Given that he has veteran ability and from what I understand, some knowledge of Martz' system. If things go sour with no hope for improvement...by the time the 2nd half rolls around then go with Enderle and definitely let him start for the last game.

There is no hope of making the playoffs with how we have been playing - especially against these teams. Oakland - what, given up 70+ pts past 2 weeks? KC - uh, enough said Denver - Tebow should have been shut down that entire game with out linebacker crew and his passing ability. Seahawks - I can't begin to say how awful that 2nd half turned out to be, right from the get-go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubbiesFan07 Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 McCown did a lot nicer tonight than Hanie did if you put all his positive plays into one game. I thought McCown was calm, was able to scramble when he needed to, and didn't make dumb decisions. Props to him for coming onto the team and being able to make a contribution in such a short amount of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
