Todd Collins

By Adam McFadden 

So Todd is getting the start at quarterback this week against the Panthers and I bet he wished he was out fishing right now and stayed retired. I wish him the best luck, not only for the obvious reason that I want the Bears to win, but because of the swiss cheese offensive line. Chris Williams is not going to play again this week meaning we’ll basically have what amounts to two seventh round rookies starting on the right side of the line in Lance Louis and Webb. Todd is a statue in the pocket, meaning he’ll probably take some pretty serious shots behind this line that gave up a record nine sacks to the Giants in the first half alone.

The question becomes why go with Collins and not Hanie? Hanie obviously has more upside because he’s not 100 years old like Collins, but more importantly he is mobile. Hanie’s style of play resembles Cutler’s more and that style got us to 3-0 and gave this offense a chance to make plays down field. Martz’s system doesn’t work too well with a dink and dunk noodle armed passer like Collins and everyone knows we can’t run the ball. Expect a very poor offensive performance from the Bears this week especially on third down. At least Brad Maynard is healthy…

Also guys, I just wanted to share with you a great deal I got on some nightstands through CSN Stores. Check them out if you’re planning on doing any furniture shopping. They also have a lot of cool Bears stuff.
