I TOLD You So!!!

I'd just like to take a moment and speak to all the Chicago Bears fans out there.  And really, there's only one thing I'd like to say - I told you so, I told you so, I told you so.  When Kyle Orton was a rookie and had a 10-4 record as a starter, I told you.  When the coaches decided that wasn't good enough and went with Sexy Rexy, I told you.  When all of you were clamoring for the Bears to draft Brady Quinn, I told you...

Kyle Orton is a quality NFL starting QB and if the Bears would just give him a chance, they'll find out they already have a QB of the future...

And now I am proven right - today's defensive meltdown notwithstanding, Kyle Orton has been a big reason the Bears are 3-3...and if the rest of the team shows up for a couple games, they could easily be 5-1 or even 6-0.  There is no "good Kyle" vs. "bad Kyle" like with Grossman - only consistent QB play on a team that still doesn't have a great offensive line and whose supposed #1 receiver is a converted cornerback who has never figured out how to run a route other than the deep fly.

I know there will still be haters, just as there were when Drew Brees had his breakout year.  In a couple of years, though, when we're talking about Kyle Orton as a Pro-Bowl QB (provided the Bears actually get him some better weapons)...I'll come back one more time with...

I told you so.

I definitely saw this blog coming... I was watching the Bears game (since the Colts blew theirs out the water) and thinking to myself, 'Joe is going to be all over this!' :-) lol

I just love your modesty!! I can picture you pointing your finger and sticking out your tongue as you do your "I Told You So" dance! Hannah and Ike could learn a thing or two from dear old Dad. Hope all is well and your blood pressure has come down to a reasonable rate after this busy football weekend. We miss you all, give our best to Melissa and the kids!!!
