Yet another NFL draft class has come and gone, and the Chicago Bears have yet to find a true leader. I think maybe they already have one.
Chicago's draft picks (a first-round OT, second-round RB, and a third-round WR) has Bears fans asking, WTF?
I believe that what the Bears are doing is asking us, the fans, to bear with them, as they try to bring back a powerful running game.
One would have to think, that with some fresh O-linemen, and a new running back, they are trying to set up an efficient running game, with the almighty play action in their back pocket, a play which is the heart of Chicago Bears football.

If that plan pans out, then the third-round wide-out makes complete sense. Still, that leaves a couple questions. Will Kyle Orton step up and become the leader of the pack? Can Orton maintain his composure to make a smart pass when called upon to do so?
Kyle Orton has stepped up in the past, and has shown real potential at times. In his rookie season, he clawed the Bears through an eight-game winning streak, and a total of 10 wins. Stepping in for the last three games of the 2007 season, Orton went 2-3, which included a mauling of the NFC North Champions, the Green Bay Packers.
Chicago Bears fans, and football fans alike, would most likely agree that there definitely will not be another GROSSman season.
Will Kyle Orton be the future of Chicago Bears football? As of right now, he's all they got. And with a career record of 12-18, he really isn't looking that bad.

I guess you're hoping that the Bears can become the Steelers, and develop a system that asks their quarterback to not fail, and nothing more. I hope they can do so, for the sake of the team and the league. But it's a sad day in Chi-town when you look at a quarterback who is 12-18 and think "Dang, now that is potential!"

Ryan - I agree with you completely about a sad day in Chi-town. I just don't see any miracle QB coming through the windy city anytime soon.

Rex is our quarterback! Rex is our quarterback! (Insert parrot noises here).
Good article, unfortunately Lovie is already signaling that he intends to back his boy Rex. He probably already warming up the parrot...

Hey gang Kyle Orton got screwed because the Bear brain trust handed the starting job to Rexy.if the line would give thier qb's more than two seconds. The bears could land a decent running back[Thomas Jones]. hey maybe Angelo's the problem for not doing his homework before handing out millions

I wonder if Jerry Angelo is ever going to draft a dynamic offensive player...can't count Hester because he played corner his first year.
That said, I really like what they did with this draft class. Williams is a starter at LT, Forte will eventually overtake Benson and actually has a complete game, and Bennett is going to be a very good #2 receiver.
However, until they do something dynamic offensively, they're going to sputter. They don't use Olsen properly because Ron Turner is a moron and should be fired. I hate his play calling...it's so predictable.
