Kyle Orton was the most egregious form of media bandwagoneering. They kept talking about his 10 wins. He didn't win squat. His defense did it all.
The Bears probably wouldn't have beaten the lowly Packers with Orton last night since it would have needed more than 14 points to win.
Orton was not a "game manager", he was a drive staller. I watched him in the Bucs game and he looked like he had no clue out there at times, and the Bears were extremely lucky to win that game as Kyle made the defense play a near perfect game. The man turned over the ball 18 times in his first 12 games. That's 1.5 turnovers a game.
Rex Grossman is not going to be the second coming of Peyton Manning. But he is going to give the Chicago Bears a chance to be more multi-dimensional.
The reason people say "defense wins championships" isn't because the playoffs are typically low scoring affairs. No, the reason is that offenses usually find a way to tag the defenses in the postseason, so only the STRONGEST ones survive, and typically, only the balanced teams survive.
Carolina doesn't go to the Super Bowl in 2003 if Jake DelHomme doesn't make plays.
