With Garcia free, are Bears interested?

...Though Orton is expected to start for the Bears in 2009, the soon-to-be free agent Grossman likely wont return.

While the team already has signed Brett Basanez during the offseason, Bears GM Jerry Angelo has implied that he wants another veteran quarterback, according to the Chicago Tribune.

Garcia, 38, could be the player to fill that role, though he has expressed a desire to start.

I hope they won't sign him. Although if they do actually want to go forward with Neckbeard *Crosses fingers* Garcia won't want to go there and the Bears will be stuck with a sucky QB even longer.

Their TEs made Orton look ok. They have quite a duo at that position.

For the WR... I have no idea. Throw some money at Bryant? Garcia and him played together at TB and Bryant had a pretty great year.

They're a WR and QB away from going to the SB again if you ask me. Their playmakers on defense aren't getting any younger though.

I doubt this will happen. Garcia has the talent to start, and why would any QB want to do that in Chicago? Yeah, they have good TEs, but look at their receivers.

Although, they will probably get Hakeem Nicks (WR - UNC) in the draft. And that won't be a good thing.

Garcia doesn't have the arm to succeed in windy soldier field.

The latest i heard on Nfl network was he could be going to Minn., it would be a great fit for him. He won't have to carry the team just hand it off to AP and occasionally pass. He barely throws INTS so they figure he would be perfect plus he would play 1/2 the games in the dome.

PS I found the remote so i was able to change the channel from espn lol

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

That would be pretty damn scary. I think I'd rather see him playing in Chicago than in Minnesota.

Minnesota becomes an instant SB contendor. They have pretty much everything in place and if injury's won't stop them (AP especially), I actually see them make it pretty far in the play-offs this way.

It might be all this hype, but the division actually seems to be going somewhere though. I can see 3 winning records if the upwards spyral continues.

Ok, nvm that. Taking Bryant would be a great lure for Garcia, but the bucs just tagged him.

Zero2Cool (6m) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (6m) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (16m) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (21m) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (24m) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

beast (45m) : Packers will get in

beast (45m) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (51m) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (51m) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (2h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (3h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (3h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (3h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (4h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (13h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (14h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (17h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : Agreed; you stinks

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him
