[Dwestxb]

Texans! Nice draft pick

[05-RS1]

lol..ok yeah that was a stupid pick..in preseason, mario has been less then a 1st pick performer, and reggie..well he's living up to his name lol. but im really lookin forward for the season even w/o reggie bush

Yeah...the Texans may not go down...But Carr certainy will!!!

He got sacked so many times its rediculous. And the passing up of Reggie was a complete mistake.

Speaking of mistakes the Bears still like Grossman
Im for Orton...

[05-RS1]

lol carr is sack-tacular but mike sherman is our o-line coach now. i think he's only been sacked once in the preseason so far.

orton was the QB that played for the bears while rex was injured?

[farberio]

Yeah Orton was last years hero.

Heres a synopsis of the Bears QB situation right now.

1st String- Rex Grossman. To date he has started 7 games or so, has never gone a season without injury (three seasons in a row, yes he got injured his rookie year that everyone forgets about). I think he is 3-4 or so.

2nd String-Brian Griese. The best passer rating QB the Bears franchise has EVER had. Fact. Not much else to say...a seasoned vet.

3rd String-Kyle Orton. Only 4th round or later pick to win 10 games rookie year. Did everything that was asked rookie year after being propelled from 3rd string to 1st string in one week.

[05-RS1]

i agree orton managed the offense but thats all he really did. he took good care of the ball, i.e. little turnovers. the bears D is really what won games for them last season. rex is more skilled at that position than orton (at least in the couple of games i've seen him in). and if he stays healthy this year, he gets the opportunity to show it.

[farberio]

Of course all he did was manage the offense...but more importantly he started 15 games without injury! And Grossman Preseason looks like utter crap.

[05-RS1]

well if all your concerned about is the QB stayin healthy and not necessarily making plays, just wait til grossman get's injured and u mayb orton will start then lol

[CletusTC]

Griese will start before Orton does if Rex goes down

[I-Fly-High]

^^^^^ 100%

This is partly true...you should have said WHEN Rex goes down.
Okay...maybe I am a little pessimestic about this issue.

But yeah, I think Griese should start if Rex goes down mid season, but if he goes out early im all for giving Orton more experiance under center.

[DoItBig]

falcons all the way

[I-Fly-High]

I hate T.O. and am glade he is playing for the Cowboys!!!!

[05-RS1]

texans pass on reggie bush..now they are thinking about cutting domanic davis..

[ohcanada_00]

i have bush on one of my fantasy teams this year... crosses fingers.

[amanda776]

I think the Steelers are going to be hurting this year without Bettis.

[05-RS1]

willie parker should be able to get the job done..and i think staley would be able to fill the short yardage situations.
