McMahon to McNabb?


Understandably, much of the consternation around Chicago following the Super Bowl centers on the quarterback position. Greg Couch has a great article on why the Bears should dump Grossman in the Sun Times. Jackson has claimed that the Bears are 1-and-done as far as Super Bowls are concerned, whilst the black captain or Deux Visage has said we should stay the course. I believe that bold action is needed and staying the course won't do. What do you do if next year Rex is terrible again? Now you have wasted three years on the this quarterback fiasco. Stays at the top in todays's NFL don't last that long. The Bears might have a slightly longer window because they play in the worst division in the league. I also believe that with a very weak NFC and a strong young foundation the Bears can repeat. Here's how: Trade for Donovan McNabb!

Can you imagine the hometown hero coming back to Chicago to lead the beloved back to the Super Bowl. With Peyton finally winning one, McNabb now holds the dishonour of 'Best Quarterback Never to Win the Big One'. If Philly thinks they are better with Garcia, let them have him. I think Donovan is unhappy with how he has been treated in Philly and they are definitely on the downward slope of their run. The Bears might just be in the middle of theirs. We've had one Irish quarterback lead us to the promised land. Why not the descendant of slaves that were owned by Irish masters as well?

What would it take? I'm not sure, but I'd be willing to give quite a bit. How about Rex and Ogunleye? I'd even throw in Thomas Jones. The Eagles need a power running game to go with Westbrook. What it takes really doesn't matter. The NFL is definitely a quarterback league and shooting yourself in the foot, or waiting to watch Rex ruin another year is pure folly.

Be Bold Lovie, go get McNabb. Your fans will thank you!

getting a quality quarterback is the key and the bears have never been willing to do it. they got to the big game this year in spite of the QB.
