| Nice list. I think both Atlanta and the Bears are rated a little high though (especially Atlanta).
The Bears have the potential but are still at least a season away from doing anything. They very well might make the playoffs, but so what? One and out most likely. At least Orton is making progress. I said at the beginning of the season if we could see progress each week to give us hope for the future, then a bad season is worth it. The guy's a rookie so you have to expect him to be mostly bad. Orton started the year unable to make any plays, and now he's making one or two plays a game. He's still doing rookie stuff and missing plays, but he's also making better reads and coming up with a good play or 2 each half. That's progress.
As far as Atlanta goes, is there a more over-rated player than Michael Vick? Amazing athlete? You betcha! Amazing QB? Not even. He's probably average at best as far as the position goes, I don't think he has what it takes between the ears to be great as a QB. That said, he is one of the top athletes in the NFL right now...I think he'd be better suited in another position though. I wouldn't want him on the Bears as a QB. |
