Quote:If you had to choose between Josh McCown and Christian Ponder who would you pick? When I saw McCown play a few weeks ago I thought, "We got the wrong McCown. Josh is a lot better than Luke." But the Bears have more talent overall on offense, so maybe teammates are making him look better than he is.

 

If the Vikings miss out on #1 because of the stupid tie yesterday (they did not even attempt a Hail Mary at the end), a trade up would make sense. However the team that "earns" the #1 pick will also need Teddy and not want to trade down. That tie is going to hurt them big time if we don't stay a half game better.

 

 

  Josh McCown.   

 

  After the horrific QB play the Bears got from their backup QB's in 2011 that derailed their season,  Josh McCown has saved their season at least for the time being.  Even though the Bears have more talent on Offense in 2013 than in 2011,   the difference between McCown and the QB's that replaced Jay Cutler for most of their 2011 losing streak,  is striking.    While McCown isn't a long term solution,  he's proving capable of more than holding down the fort in the present.   The Bears Offense and Special Teams have to try to compensate for a  Defense hit hard by injuries.  McCown gives them a chance.
