Chicago Bears' Quarterbacks Are a Delusion, Not a Dilemma

 
  The definition of delusion is an erroneous belief that is held in the face of evidence to the contrary. A delusion is a mistaken or unfounded opinion. The Chicago Bears' entire organization suffers from delusions of QB grandeur. Forcibly, stubbornly, and repeatedly, the Bears have roared that they have no problems with the QB position. Well, when an injury to a rookie left tackle, who has seldom practiced and never played in a game, and a journeyman guard unravels an entire offense, the problems are bigger. The people picking the personnel seem to have serious problems. How does one rookie lineman's injury unravel an entire organization's offensive plan? But the QB delusion haunts the team like a giggling ghost from a poor Poe tale. And the coaches can't accept the idea.

melnickandgrecofantasysports.com 8/13/2008 — Well, the Bears got half of it correct. They dumped the right players (Archuleta was horrendous, Benson was a train wreck, Griese wasn’t needed, Kennedy was still too fat, Miller and Brown had aged and Walker was a bust). Problem is, Chicago didn’t find replacements for any of these guys. They underwent a stunning downgrade at wide receiver. Booker is a less-productive version of Muhammad, and
