Why would Favre even want to come here? He’d be coming to a team that’s only gonna win 5 or 6 games.

I was the one who said knock off the Favre talk, but only because I want to hear other Bears fans opinions on the Bears. Not to mention the fact that Favre’s posts get about twice as many replies as the others from Bears fans. Oh well, here’s my two cents anyway. About the Bears saying “I like the running backs we have now.” What were they supposed to say, “We are f***ed! Our starter has no experience, our backup is better at special teams than his actual position, and our third string made me realize that Speedy Gonzalez could not make it in the NFL.” They told the media what they had to, while they waited to make sure that Kevin Jones’ knee wasn’t kaput. That being said, I can’t wait to see this duo perform, and I for certain can’t wait to see what a Bears defense with Mike Brown can do. We just need to see our offensive line play for the whole game (unlike last year when it was fourth quarter nap time) and you will see a totally different team on both sides of the ball.

The only thing that article does is remind us of how desperate the Bears still are for a good QB. But hell, virtually so are the rest of the teams in the NFL. But regardless, a well performing QB starts with the OL. If you can’t pass protect and run block, then it doesn’t matter who you have, whether it be Favre, Marino, Montana, or Cade McNown (just kidding about McNown).

Wow…I was just looking for some information on Willie Gallimore, and I stumbled across possibly the best Bears site on the web! How I only just now found this site is beyond me.

I agree there’s obviously no way the Packers would trade Favre in the division, but if somehow he convinces them to release him, I definitely think the Bears should try to snatch him up. You’re right about the Bears management caring more about being right than winning, but could the hiring of Kevin Jones be a signal that maybe they’re becoming less stubborn? After all, they were giving us the “we’re happy with what we’ve got” line a few weeks ago. Of course, bringing in a gimpy ex-Lion isn’t exactly a big deal, but hey you’ve gotta start somewhere.

And to JDM, you’re right about the question marks, BUT if the O-line shores up (which is possible) AND if the defense stays healthy (which is less likely but still possible), I do think the bears will have a very good shot at winning the division. Add a hypothetical Brett Favre to that mix, and I think we could make a decent playoff run.

I’ve been saying for months to quit with the wet dreams. The divsion, as it stands w/o Favre is wide open for all four teams. I’m pretty sure the Packers have no intentions of letting him go to a division. As of now, Favre would make the Bears better, but not Super Bowl contenders. Too many question marks on both sides of the ball. What would be even worse for the Packers if Favre ended up in Minnesota. They’ve got the OL and running game in place, just not a good QB. I seriously doubt the Packers is interested on making them better…
