Bears want to sign Jeff George

Recommended Posts

Guest Salacious Crumb

It's being reported that the Bears are trying to lure him out of retirement to finish the season for them. Was Krenzel really doing so horribly that they have to get a guy who hasn't played since 2001?

Ah I got it confused with Henson's yanking during that mess on Thursday.

No, the Bengals at least had Jeff Blake go to a couple of pro bowls while on the team.

 

Chicago is much worse considering Jim McMahon was the last passable QB that they had.

I think the fact he couldn't make it as a 3rd stringer on the packers indicates he was done for.

He really didn't have any business even trying to make the team. Neither did Doug Pederson, for that matter.

At this point, I have a stronger arm than Tim Couch. A QB who is a former no. 1 pick so will bring some baggage (money, playing time) along with chronic arm problems would not be high on my list.

I think it shows how rock bottom a franchise has gotten when I read the words "they want to sign Jeff George."

 

What till you hear, "they want to sign Billy Joe Tolliver" and tell us how you are feeling.

Or "Bears trying to lure Ryan Leaf out of retirement."

 

Now that'd be a hell of a comeback story. Then I can finally say I WAS RIGHT! to all the people who said Peyton would be better than Leaf..

Well, before last year, they'd won the same number of playoff games...

Ryan would have been great if he got over that whole sucking at talking to reporters and not wanting to kill coaches for telling him to stop getting picked off.

 

If Leaf could have just got over that and his apparent short term memory that seemed to make him forget who he played for then he would have been great.

I'm still waiting for Akili Smith to develop.

 

If he can get a few weeks off from the Home Depot he is working at then maybe Chicago has a quarterback.

What about Jim Drunkenmiller?

I hear Andre Ware is looking for work too. He could always use a second chance.

They ran a feature on him on ESPN a few weeks ago and he's headed to Europe.

 

The fact nearly all Bears QB's are injured speaks VOLUMES of their O-Line.

I wouldn't jump on them for Grossman's injury. He did that diving into the endzone, not on a sack. Now I don't watch them, so the O-Line might be that bad. But I would not jump on them for that.

 

Is Quinn injured or are they just never letting him near the field again?

Bring back Cade McNown (my Vitamin X's Ryan Leaf pick)

 

He was actually my pick to be the best out of the bunch of 1999 as well. I hated to see him go to the Bears after playing for my beloved Bruins. McNown was fucking awesome in college. He was like Steve Young and Brett Favre rolled into one. Then he had the bad luck to end up being a Bears QB. It's too bad he couldn't have ended up with say, the Giants or the Seahawks or some other team I don't care about.

 

I'm still waiting for Akili Smith to develop.

 

Same here. I saw Smith as a more mobile Jeff Blake. Actually I thought Smith would end up being exactly the same QB that Daunte Culpepper turned out to be. It's too bad he got stuck in the Bengals QB Carousel.

Tried to make the Packers' practice squad, was cut before preseason. Retired, probably.
