It was just a matter of time. Don’t look now but your No. 3 quarterback Kyle Orton is gaining popularity, rapidly. From Kyle to the shotgun, the safeties and offensive linemen, plenty of queries came in. We sorted through and have answers. Keep the questions coming for next week.
Q: I agree we all should be more patient, but after being a Bear fan since 1961, and seeing seemingly year after year less than adequate play at QB, it becomes frustrating. Orton was thrown in as rookie and basically told not to lose the game. The result being a division title. When he was a Senior at Purdue, he was a leading candidate for the Heisman until he was hurt. I’ll be patient, but don’t you think just once a QB could fall into our laps, such as Tom Brady did with the Patriots or Tony Romo in Dallas?

Ted: Who’s saying Orton will not develop into Brady or Romo? How he has developed with a year-plus now to sit and watch will be interesting to see when his opportunity finally comes. Let’s give Brian Griese an opportunity to show what he can do before we all clamor for the QB turnstile to click once again. But guys like Brady and Romo don’t just come around. Brady was a sixth-round pick and the Patriots had no clue what they had in him until his chance came. Romo went undrafted. Scouting is an inexact science after all.
