Report on WGN Saturday night
 

WGN said on their newscast tonite that there is an unconfirmed rumor that the Chicago Bears have signed Jeff George to play QB for them after Craig Krenzel injured his ankle.

More than likely, Jeff George will thus be a free agent in the off-season. I wonder if Danny Boy will be in touch again this time?

[QUOTE]Bears Sign QB Jeff George

The Chicago Bears have agreed to a 1 year deal with veteran quarterback Jeff George. George, 36, was a first round pick in the 1990 draft by the Indianapolis Colts. Chicago will become the seventh different franchise for which George will have played, after stints in Indianapolis (1990-93), Atlanta (1994-96), Oakland (1997-98), Minnesota (1999) Washington (2000-2001) and Seattle (2002-2003).

vacation hell he probably has a few houses here with the bonus we gave him

No love for Chad Hutchinson?

Jeff George has one of the greatest arms ever to grace a football field. Of course, that's not nearly enough. Still, as far as just watching a guy throw a football, few compare to George.

he has the aaron brooks syndrome, but 200x worse... he has the physical tools, but he's not a leader in any way... he leaves a HUGE void...

While Joe Gibbs is here he has final say on all football decisions, and I am 100% sure Gibbs won't go after JGeorge.

cant get any worse than what they already have

A friend of mine once had a great description for Jeff George as a locker room leader:


'When Jeff George enters the locker room, it's as if two guys just left."

The fact that he's sat home since 2001 speaks volumes.

or that he's had like 5 teams in 7 years or whatever...

Nobody is THAT stupid! :lol:

We can only hope no one is that stupid...

No chance we'll seek George, but I'd rather have him than Brunell. George and chuck the ball. But Gibbs doesn't want someone like that on our team. We'll probably end up with Kitna at some point.
ahhahahaha

btw, looks like garcia may be on the market again this season...

Stick with Ramsey, we really can't afford to dump a bunch of cash in another QB's lap.

Build up the team around Ramsey, let him develop and we'll be fine.

Too bad us fans don't have enough patience to "build a team around our QB" or let him develop.

ramsey's been fine so far... he's hitting most of his passes and avoiding bad throws most of the time, but no one is catching balls, even when they hit right in the hands...

[QUOTE=That Guy]btw, looks like garcia may be on the market again this season...[/QUOTE]

I think he's under contract isn't he? Holcomb is the one who'll be a free agent

maybe, but garcia hasn't thrown for 400+ yards and 5 TDs in one game... that game may cause a bit of a shakeup in the QB chart, and garcia wants to be a starter... just a possibility.

This is true...especially in the Redskins' front office!! ;)
