Because of actually having my priorities in the right place for once in my life, I haven't really seen too much of the Chicago Bears this season. However, even I can check out statistics on a website. What alien currently inhabits the body of Kyle Orton? I know, the Bears are 9-4 and probably 2 wins away from clinching a first round bye with Orton under center. They're also still 2 losses away from finishing second in the NFC North and watching the playoffs at Halas Hall. If there was ever a time the Bears would be making a return to the Super Bowl, it should be when the Super Bowl is being held in the slum village that is Detroit. What a reward for long suffering fans!
Anyway, where is the guy who threw 31 TD's against 5 picks at Purdue? I know the NFL is all pro's and Orton is a rookie but 'gaw-lee!" 13 games in you are not a rookie anymore. The only QB I know of that can consistently win games averaging 137 yards/game in the air is Michael Vick and he usually runs for another 70. You can time Kyle's speed with a sun-dial. On the upside, not counting his 4 int. performance vs. Cincy, he's only thrown 7 interceptions. Cincy intercepts everyone 4 times. It's like the penance they pay for not being able to find a way to make orange and black tiger stripes look cooler. Of course, Orton has also only thrown 9 TD's in 13 games - not jaw dropping unless you're dropping your jaw to barf on your keyboard.
So, am I proposing the Bears go with Grossman? Look, even if they went with Grossman, he'd probably rupture his spleen or incur some other ungodly injury and be out just long enough to miss anything important yet again, so Orton would just be back out there. Keep Grossman in bubble wrap. What I am proposing is some x-rays and CT scans or whatever they do to see people's innards. I'm telling you, this Kyle Orton may be some Reptilian Annunaki or something. The real Kyle is very possibly locked in a holding tank somewhere with Tyson Chandler and Kerry Wood.
