Contrary to popular belief, a good quarterback will not fix the Chicago Bears' problems.
A new offensive line, however, would be a step in the right direction.
It doesn't matter whether you have Rex Grossman or Johnny Unitas behind center. (Olin Kreutz is the only one worth keeping.) The fact is: If you can't run the ball or protect the quarterback, you can't score points on offense.
Grossman, when given time, is as accurate a QB as anyone. The problem is he is on his back most of the time or he has to rush his throws. Granted, he makes some very bad decisions when facing pressure, but in time he'll mature. He's got the tools. He just needs protection.
Also, the Bears need to start rethinking their draft picks (especially RBs). Cedric Benson is a bust. The best back they've had in 10 years they traded in the offseason. (I still haven't figured that one out.)
Chicago needs to get back to the basics of stifling defense, running the football, running the football, and running the football. When they figure that out, then I think Grossman will be just fine.
