Interesting, where do you find “game ball” history? But you’re right too, Rosey Williams was not a good pick.

You’re probably right. Just checked and he he got a game ball against the Jets.

Good memory Bill. Yes another horrible, frustrating loss to the Packers. On a side note, I attended the games at Lambeau from 2001-2003, all losses. Of course the Bears sandwiched my visits with wins in 99-2000 AND 2004-2007. Lucky me. But yes, the Bears were up pretty solidly at halftime and that may have put it away. But alas they blew it. However my friend, didn’t Williams also have something to do with a game-saving tackle on Wayne Chrebet against the Jets in Champaign that year? Not that it matters anymore. I guess I felt some of the higher round picks that never played were bigger busts. Thinking about it this one definitely could have gone ahead of Okwo. But again, at least Williams hit the field whereas the others didn’t.

It was the last play before halftime. Bears were leading.

Favre threw it up. I remember that someone intercepted the pass, but then there were a couple of fumbles. The ball was bouncing around a bit and it ended up in Rosie’s hands. I think he ran most of the length of the field, but was caught from behind inside the 10 yard line. Probably would have put the game away had he taken it in.

I was listening to the radio commentary. Tom Thayer was spitting feathers.

The thing is that some of the players on this list never played a down with the Bears, so we’ll never know for sure how bad they really were. But Rosie hurt us every time he stepped on the field.

That’s what’s great about doing this Bill, everyone has an opinion and they’re all valid. I remember what you’re talking about-I was at that game in Green Bay in ’02. I can’t recall exactly, didn’t he have a shot to run in an int or fumble recovery for a TD but he went to the ground, or he fumbled or something? But there were so many other bad Angelo picks I couldn’t rate this one higher!

Roy – I think you’re being a little generous to Rosie Williams. I’d have him higher on the list – just thinking of that Green Bay game.

No arguments about the No 1 spot though.

Lots of money tied up in linebacker if that was the case too. Benson, what a loser.

Can you imagine how dominant our linebackers would be if we had Ware, Urlacher, and Briggs?

I dunno, I would have gone with Dan Bazuin number 1. Benson at least was a useful piece on a Super Bowl team. Bazuin never played a single down.

Hard to complain (about the ranking, that is). Both are pretty awful tales.
