Krenzel ... Good, Bad or Ugly? (Long)

[jlb1705]

The didn't sign Couch because his arm isn't fully recovered. He is going back to see Dr. James Andrews soon.

Figures.. not only did Couch stink up Cleveland, but he's gonna screw a former Buckeye out of a starting spot too..

lol.

Either Tim Couch is a big time bust or Krenzel should have been drafted a little higher - Da Bears gave Couch a workout and said, 'Na, we'll go with who we've got'.

I'll break down the situation like I've heard it broken down many times (feels good to know about something finally :)).

Lovie Smith is a first year coach whose starter got hurt. He signed Quinn in the offseason, thinking he'd be a capable backup. He drafted Krenzel in the 5th round to perhaps learn and one day be the backup.

When Grossman went down, he signed Hutchinson, who hasn't played in a while. In the meantime, Quinn and for his very short time Krenzel haven't even been average.

The reasons they didn't get Couch?
A) He's already signed a QB during the season. Signing another makes it a really odd situation.
B) Tim Couch had rotator cuff surgery. They brought him in for a full workout and I guess he didn't impress all that much. He got cut from GB in leiu of lifetime backup Doug Pederson. If that doesn't sell you on his health, I dunno what will.
C) Even with a healthy Tim Couch, what will he do for the Bears? He's never been more than average, and if he's the difference between 3-13 and 5-11 what's that do for them? If you're not going anywhere; get a high pick. Certainly, Couch isn't part of the Bears future if he signs on.

Now, excuse me while I go back to the hell that is being a Chicago sports fan.

They didn't sign Couch, so he can't start for them. c'mon

Krenzel will be a great back up QB, but will never be able to win a Super Bowl as a starter IMHO. He is not the answer.

I heard that the Bears now are thinking of going after Jeff George. CK I like, but I don't believe that he is going to do anything great with that sort of talent around him.

It's all those scUM guys around him. Gotta get rid of them. Bring in real talent! :scum4:

'Not yet' is the key phrase. Hopefully they don't all-together.

i thought you only needed three years in the NFL to get your retirement, not 5.

 

[BuckeyeNation27]

if only somebody called this once grossman got hurt.........

oh wait, i did. now all we need is for dorsey to be declared the starter for some strange reason and i look like a prognosticator of prognostications.

*ahem*
