In yet another slow news day for the Chicago Bears, we’re going back to our old failsafe, the Chicago Bears Chalk Talk. Today’s questions once again deal mostly with what the Bears are going to do to get geared up for a rebound year in the 2008 season. The first question actually has the audacity to question whether or not Darren McFadden could fall all the way to the Bears. Larry Mayer is quite kind in his answer, but I would have basically told the questioner there was absolutely no freaking way that Darren McFadden was going to the Chicago Bears. He might slip that far in the draft if he loses an arm or a foot, and even then I’m not 100% sure.
The other questions involve whether or not the Bears will try to pick up Chris Simms from the Bucs. This is a terrible idea, because replacing a bevy of subpar quarterbacks with a guy who ruptured his spleen on the playing field is not an upgrade, no matter how guy Simms feels now. The Bears can get a top tier franchise guy in the first round of the draft. They should do that, not go after a QB with a ruptured spleen. The last question deals with the Bears strength of schedule last year. Bears fans will be happy to know the the Bears had the third toughest schedule, so maybe the football gods will be kinder to them next year.
