Kenneth Sothman, Bears Superfan

Kathee I'm glad you fired back and made some good points. I respect the fact you've probably watched about 200 more games then I have in my lifetime, but if the it factor in players is so easy to realize, I wonder what your feelings of Anthony Thomas were a month after his rookie year.

But if Rex's offense is averaging over 28 points per game, something I've never seen in my lifetime for a Bears team, I have to imagine he's doing something right.

Hey I'll agree, he's not the best skill-wise or mechanically sound quarterback in the game. But I seem to remember two former back-up quarterbacks that aren't considered the best skill-wise in the game either, they aren't going to ever fill-up the stat-sheet in passing/rushing yards, and one was even questioned at the end of his "SportsCentury" if he deserves to be mentioned in the same class as Peyton Manning.

So go figure Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisburger own four of the past five Superbowl rings. In fact, Brad Johnson owns the fifth one, somebody again who just wins no matter what type of game he has. And at any point do you think the Steelers would trade Manning straight up for Roethlisburger?

So maybe it isn't what Rex brings to the field stat-wise, but the confidence he instills into his teammates. I mean why not? We score points with him, we believe we have a deep-ball with him, and we win large amounts of games with him. This just doesn't happen out of the thin air. And if at the end of the day the only thing we have to ask of him is to pump-fake, then heck, we really must not have too many problems at hand.

And don't forget, our offense is based off of the play-action fake.


Tomorrow Bears win 31-17 after the defense holds down the Pats running game since Dillon's losing his speed while Lo-Mo runs for 60 yards, the Pats medicore receiving bunch will have too much trouble with our coverage, and Brady gets sacked six times. And I'll own a NFC North Champions hat by the end of the week!
