Bear with Us: Bears-Chiefs

Play-by-play of the first preseason game of 2008 from a guy who is pumped for another scintillating quarterback battle on the team that invented the forward pa-oh wait a minute.

I liked what I saw in Caleb Hanie. He looks big ( I know what the depth chart says...), with thick arms. He steps up in the pocket, throws to the right guys with some stuff on it. He should have had two more completions. I know he was playing against the "subs", but he "looked" more like an NFL quarterback, than either of the others. Anybody else see what I saw??

The media is wrong about the QB's and is wrong about us Bears fans. Media: Stop reciting the same stupid misleading stats we have all heard for the past 2 years: "Grossman lead them to the Super Bowl"... Look, that guy didn't lead a thing. There wasn't one game ever that I could say Grossman "Won" that game. Maybe Hester, or the Defense, but not Grossman. He's no Manning, Manning wins games, but Grossman can't. We need a real leader, even a fairly decent QB could do this, Grossman just throws over WR's heads and then goes and hides when we boo him. The guy is lame, and needs to try a new sport. The fans know this because we watch him fail during ever game, win or not. The media needs to stop saying "But the bears won, why boo Grossman"? They need to shut-up, sit down and actually watch this loser play football. Then they will know why us fan boo him... Orton is still young, I bet he will make a good leader, just give him the ball this season and you won't be sorry the next.
