Brett Favre To the Chicago Bears? Chicago...Think This One Over

Brett Favre is slowly backing the Packers into a corner. A corner, they've stated, that may force them to trade Favre within the division, like he wants.

The Lions aren't even being considered in this race for No. 4, so the focus shifts to the two remaining teams of the NCF North—the Vikings and Bears.

Overall, based off of fan reactions, polls, and the like, Favre seems more likely to go to Minnesota over Chicago, but don't think for one second that Lovie Smith and Jerry Angelo won't be overwhelmed with questions on a possible future in Chicago for the legendary Packer.

Now, obviously, Lovie is not one to fold under pressure. I'm sure many fans will always remember Lovie for his "Rex is our quarterback" speeches at the postgame podium. And I commend him for that. He's the first sensible coach in Chicago we've had in a while.

He understands that a QB must develop before he can reach his potential, something that both Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton are both in the process of doing. I respect him for that. The fans shouldn't run the team—management and the coaching staff should.

But either way, it's quite clear that the media and fans won't have an effect on whether or not the Bears consider Favre, should he miraculously fall on their doorstep with the potential for a trade.

But like I said, that doesn't mean Chicago won't hound them for it. This is my plea to Bears fans: Chicago, do you really want to see Favre in a Bears uniform? Please, think this one over, and think it over long and hard.

Like it or not, Favre is, and will always be, associated with the Pack. And he's been an archrival of Chicago for the past 17 years. That's like the Joker putting on the Bat Suit—it would never work. Are we really so ignorant and impatient to let two potentially good QBs that we already have take a backseat so that Favre can come in and fail us all?

And fail us he will. Think about it Chicago.

Why do you want Rex Grossman gone? Inept decisions, timing with those decisions, and turnovers, right? Do you realize that you're wanting to bring the KING of interceptions and costly decisions, and put him in the driver's seat of an already questionable offense?

Forget the Favre of last season—think of the Favre from two or three years ago. The Packers, like the Bears now, were a young, inexperienced team. No-name wide receivers and no-name running backs. These were the years when Favre was condemned and ridiculed for not retiring because he was playing so poorly.

He often took matters into his own hands and tried to win the game on his arm, often throwing costly interceptions and making poor decisions because he didn't believe in his team.

What do you think he's going to come here and do!?

Our best hope at wide receiver (Devin Hester) is a guy who has about 20 career catches! Everyone knows, deep down in their heart, that Favre will be slinging that ball left and right, getting picked off like his resume' that includes the most INTs of any QB in league history is telling us he will.

And Favre's play, while very good last year, was still dependent on a strong offensive line. Uh, Chicago...we don't have a line! We have nothing to protect the 37-year old with!

And Favre's mobility is extremely lacking. Sure, he may stumble out of the pocket and underhand a pass every now and then, but think back Chicago, think back to when we played the Packers.

Our defense, ranked 27th in the league, mind you, obliterated Favre...twice. He handed Urlacher an INT...twice. He was uncomfortable in the pocket. He was throwing costly passes. Isn't that all the things you want to stop? Just because Favre's a legend doesn't mean we should look past all the problems he will bring.

And Favre has stated his hatred for training camp and practices. You want that kind of attitude coming in and taking over when we have guys that need all the reps they can get at their positions?

And if you think for one second that Favre will suddenly shift his loyalty to the Bears and become a full-blooded Chicagoan—think again.

Do you remember Jim McMahon? QB of the '85 Bears? He ended up playing as Favre's backup in Green Bay. When the Pack won the Super Bowl in '96, they were invited to the White House. Do you remember which jersey McMahon wore? His BEARS jersey!

A loyalty to a team never dies. If you think for one second that Favre will come here with anything but revenge and sticking it to the Pack on his mind, think again. Favre would perform miserably here, and deep down, we all know it.

We're just so eager to hand the reigns off from Rex Grossman that we don't realize there's nobody to hand them to.
