I agree. I think it's on Lovie. But I guess in a Truman-esque way...ultimately the buck stops at JA.

Playing slight devil's advocate...would a problematic or inept coaching staff also rest on Angelo's shoulders?

You and I also discussed it at length...

You and I also talked about it it at length...

Check your memory Cracker...I know 100% that nfo and I were on the DJ bandwagon big time!

Oh, I'm sure there's someting out there that will convince AZ to OK a trade... They'll lose him in FA down the road anyway. May as well get something for him...if it's good.

Tempting, but I'd pass. If we didn't bring in Marty for a veteran presence, I'd do it. But, we're too thin at OL and QB to justify the move.

Yep...DJ was my preferred pick as well.

I just don't remember...

Maybe my timing is off, but wasn't this downslide right around when he rec'd a new contract?

He's got as much right to bitch and moan as I do to call him out on it. I'm sure there would be plenty of complaining about Rex... And I'm sure we'd see postings telling everyone what I just said. That's just the way it works...

88, I just posted the following to az... az, all our biasses show. We know you're upset Grossman isn't the guy. Can't you get behind Kyle for one season? Most of us did so for Rex for much longer. I think it's applicable to your posts as well...

Agreed. If Peyton Manning is available over Tony Mandrich, I go with Manning.

It's probably both...but dang if I don't get more and more upset with this regime's coaching as time goes on.

Jason, I think you make a very compelling argument... I think I agree. While Theo made the most of his opportunities, he sure had a lot more opportunity than an average Joe would. Maybe a simpler way to look at it...not every GM is a good GM, and not every average Joe could be a GM. But like there are good GM's, I'm sure there may be a few average Joe's out of thousands that could probably do a sufficient job. I'm not specifically singling out JA here...just being generic.

flea, thank you for that blunt honesty! I am ready to the Orton era to begin...

I hear ya...

I actually came into this thinking the opposite. I could swear the job would be given to Rex again unless Kyle stole the show. I think you very well could be right that it was pretty much Kyle's job to loe or for Rex to take. In the end, Kyle didn't do enough bad to lose it, nor did Rex do enough good to take it from him. If anything, Hanie was the true bright spot. Unless Kyle gets hurt or played hideiously, we may never see Rex play in the regular or post-season again for the Bears. I won't say goodbye yet, as this club seems to need as many QB's to fill in a regular season as Emelda Marcos has shoes... Don't ge me started on Lovie being disappointing! Here's hoping Kyle can turn the corner! (Or at least not turn it over!)

Are you thinking it wasn't fair because Orton got the nod at home agasint KC and Rex the nod in Seattle? Just curious...

Dang...maybe they should look into what I mentioned earlier...seeing Davis play seom FB maybe?

100% Bogus. The author should have just left it as Peters and toned it down. It could have had legs a lot longer. Adding an already named starter to the trade list made it reek of untruth.

I'm really beyond curious to see how he will play out with a ll the givens you've mentioned...

To problem there! I'd love to get Quinn...it's like getting a first round pick, but with a little experience.

Your info on Bill SImmons is classic! I didn't know he menioned having a "GM of Common sense!" It's really brilliant! Normally I just get tired of him riding the jock of Boston, but dang if he's not 100% on this one! And I swear if any team needed one, it's ours!
