I'll be rooting for him.
Why not.
He's always been a gym rat.

One day after Bears coach Lovie Smith avoided definitively naming a starting quarterback for this weekend's game against the Green Bay Packers, ESPNChicago.com cited multiple sources in reporting Tuesday that Josh McCown will receive an opportunity to take the job from Caleb Hanie.


According to ESPNChicago.com, McCown might take over for the Christmas Day game, depending on how he looks in practice this week. McCown told the website he has "no idea" if he'll start against the Packers.

"I'm just gonna get myself ready like I've done every week, and then we'll see what happens," he said.

I like Joshy!

 

[Mulli]

I have him rated at 95/100 eLiTe status a tad ahead of breese and roggers because Joshy woshy can dunk a bball!

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Cant root for him, need Chi to keep losing.

Feed the B's!!!!!!!!!!!!

As an aside it still amazes me that no matter who the Bears have at running back or what year it is or who is coaching they still can run the football and have problems at QB.

Forte goes out vs KC and the next two weeks with no QB the Bears run the ball for a combined 69 times and 291 yards.

Forest Gump's favorite team.

Isn't Chicago the one team that would beat us out in a multi team 9-7 tiebreaker? What if Josh McCown is the reason we don't make the playoffs?! Oh, sweet irony!!

(I don't think there's a chance in hell it actually happens)

 

[Pariah]

I feel a little bad for him. There is no way the Packers are going to lose this week after being embarrassed in the KC game.

You know what this means, the Bears intramural basketball team will be good.

That Smel

Something smels fishy, around here......
Yea I have Josh graded with a strong arm with great wheels for his size, pretty much like Skelton.
Josh has more fumbles and INTs than most, but has he ever had a good supporting cast? I never thought so, even when he beat out Warner for us,
He might now have a good D, but Barber is not enough at RB with these receivers.

Didn't that one pass against the Vikes drop us several draft spots and cause us to not be able to draft someone we should have that we wouldn't have anyhow?

Sorry for the Cardinal logic on that one.

...Cardinal logic...

Wasn't that a Steely Dan album?

That was being discussed in the bumped Fitzgerald thread. Green was taking Fitzgerald. #1 or #3 or #5 didn't matter. But if Larry weren't in the 2004 draft the Cards would have missed on someone they wouldn't have drafted anyway. That was still the pre UPS days when the Cards would draft guys too high so they could try and lowball them in negotiations by telling the player he really was a much later in the round value.
