Guest TerraTor Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 McNabb thought Bears would sign him Jan 20 1/20/2012 2:29:42 PM | More Donovan McNabb admitted Friday that he was expecting a call from the Chicago Bears after Jay Cutler went down with a fractured thumb on Nov. 20, but that call never came and the Bears lost five of their last six to miss the playoffs according to ESPNChicago. The Bears did put in a claim on Kyle Orton after he was released by the Denver Broncos, but the Kansas City Chiefs claimed Orton before he was available to the Bears. Meanwhile McNabb, a Chicago native who was released by the Minnesota Vikings on Dec. 1, watched Caleb Hanie lose four consecutive games for the Bears, who then turned to Josh McCown in losing their fifth straight. The Bears closed out the season with a win over the Vikes. "I thought the Bears would call," McNabb said on "The Waddle & Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000. "So many people continuously talked about the Mike Martz offense and things of that nature. I personally didn't care about that. If you want to win and win now, you go out and get a better quarterback and you cater your offense to his strengths, and obviously the strengths of your team. "Obviously it didn't work out well for them. It's unfortunate. I wish things would have worked out, but it didn't. We will see what happens from now on." http://www.theredzone.org/BlogDescription/...im/Default.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 After the 2nd loss by Hanie, I would've taken a chance on him. It is not like he could've played much worse than Hanie did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan Grizzly Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Forget McNabb. I used to like the guy but ever since he left Wa I've thought hea become a douche. It seems every time he speaks he says something else that's newly dumb. The guy couldn't hold a job against a rookie in Minnesota and still thought he was all that. And he was usurped by Rex Grossman. I mean really, what kind of real value did he have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
