They don’t have an NFL caliber QB on their roster. Better for us. The Bears are determined to never have a QB. Mcmahon was ok for 2 years… but really the Bears have been sub-par at that position since the 1970s.

For some reason they just don’t think it matters very much to win football games… kind of like the Titans at the WR position.

get Doug Flutie out of retirement. He’s better than what they have right now.

These are copied and pasted from Simmon’s mailbag post. he’s listing things NE fans have let Flutie slide with (I, however, find them all pretty annoying and when you combine it with really, really smug attitude most of the time it’s unbearable, IMO):

• During the NFL strike in 1987, he pulled a Shane Falco and crossed the picket line to play for the Pats as a replacement QB. We didn’t hold it against him.

• During the ‘88 season, when he was finally given the starting QB job over Tony Eason after we did everything but throw bags of urine at then-coach Raymond Berry, Flutie was incompetent enough that he headed to Canada and wasn’t seen for another nine years. We all eventually agreed to pretend that this never happened.

• Not only did he keep the mid-’80s pseudo-mullet going into the mid-’90s, but his wife kept the Shelley Long ‘80s cut (hair over the shoulders, parted bangs over the forehead, a little too frizzy) going over that same time. We all agreed not to say anything.

• He started a crappy rock band with his brother (a la the Bacon brothers) and we never made fun of him for it.

• He brought his glove to a baseball game at Fenway and caught a foul ball … nobody made a “Why are you bringing your glove to a baseball game?” joke.

To each his own though…
