The Chiefs, Lions, Ravens, Jets, and Saints are the best teams in the NFL

Future Hall of Famer Brodie Croyle


The Chiefs started the 08 campaign with a 16-play, 81-yard TD drive. Key plays:
Croyle running for a first down on a broken play on 3rd and 3.
Croyle to Cottam (3-rd pick) for 18 yards on a rollout.
Croyle to Charles (3-rd pick) who picked up the extra YAC on 3rd and 10.
Croyle to Franklin (4-rd pick for 22 yards in a tight window on 3rd and 15.
Johnson up the middle on 3rd and goal from 5.

Draft picks look good. Charles looks a lot better than Kolby Smith--could be a feature back if LJ goes down.

As for the Bears, their offense came from Wolfe and Forte, not Orton or Grossman. I would rather play those RBs than Kevin Jones. I mean, when you're using players the Lions don't want, you know you're in trouble. (See Eddie Drummond)

But let's take a trip down memory lane. The day was September 27, 2007. The Bears decided to bench Grossman and go with Griese. Chicago rejoiced. "Griese will solve our problems!"

At the time I mused at how funny it would be if Rex were to somehow comeback and be the 08 starting quarterback. I was young and naive. It seemed so obvious that the Bears would need to get another quarterback in the offseason.

Well 2008 is here, and the Bears are having an open competition between Grossman and Orton. The same quarterbacks that have been benched by the Bears in recent history. Good times.

  1. i love the bears QB craptastic competition. at least the lions have Jon Kitna. you know you're going to win 10 games with that guy because he said it.

    also, they should end the season today in the standings, but play out the rest of it only for fantasy football sake. all in favor?
