The Bears have down nothing this offseason to improve their team. I should rephrase that: The Bears only added Marty Booker and Brandon Lloyd this offseason. Those two additions will NOT put the Bears back in the playoff race.
Now I find an article about Colt Brennan and his pro-day at Hawaii. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/7987234/NFL- draft-Q&A:-Colt-Brennan I have already written about my feelings and thoughts toward Colt Brennan. Much to my dismay when I read this article, I find out that Bears have had extensive talks with Colt Brennan. I will add more facts to why the Bears SHOULD NOT draft Brennan.
If Brennan is to be successful in the NFL, he needs a team with an established quarterback. He needs to be able to learn from someone such as: Tom Brady or Peyton Manning. By landing on a team with an established quarterback, he can grow and learn the system under an experienced teacher. The pressure would also be less, if Brennan landed with a team who already had a franchise quarterback. He would not be looked at as the savior or the future of that team.
With the Bears, Brennan would have to learn from Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton. These two are by no-means established or very good for that matter. Grossman is similar to Brennan in that they both came from pass happy offenses in college. If that is any indication of what Bears fans can expect, we will see Rex Grossman’s little brother in Colt Brennan.
Brennan is similar to Orton in that both played in mainly shotgun oriented offense in college. Orton has a TOUGH time adjusting to getting the ball from under center. Grossman has a similar problem. Grossman and Orton are not going to be with the Bears for the long term, which means that Brennan will have to be ready in a hurry. From what I have read on football websites, some scouts believe Brennan may never be ready for the NFL. Brennan will be viewed a potential savior to the Bears which is way too much pressure for a young quarterback, especially on a flaw team such as the Bears.
For the Bears sake and Colt Brennan sake as an NFL quarterback, they should avoid each other at all COSTS.
