position, or it may be the talent we have just needs a little
more time. Either way, at the end of last year, when it counted
most, our air game wasn't working. Bringing in the WR who
arguably had more success in Mad Mike's system than any other in
history certainly couldn't hurt... whether that be as an active
on-field contributor or in more of a player-coach role.

....but as player/coach he couldnt hurt. Could always be
inactive. I think the Canadian may need adjusting the most
because he hasnt played in the short field as a pro. Provided
the price is right

I can't believe Holt has anything left. While we are at it,
Golden Richards is available again...

From PFT, Best young players ready to start:
1. Caleb Hanie, QB, Chicago Bears
Doug Pensinger/Getty Images Come on, guys. Stop laughing,
already.
Caleb Hanie's only been in the league since 2008, and sparingly
gets time on the field, except if it's the NFC Championship, in
which he gets to throw 20 times.
Seriously, though: Hanie's the definition of a steal. I hate to
hype up a quarterback when he has had only one good game, but
considering the circumstances, I'm not so sure you don't make a
big deal out of his emergency performance when both Todd Collins
and Jay Cutler (now you can laugh) went down in the NFC
Championship game.
Let's look at the circumstances, and the response: First, Jay
Cutler was struggling terribly against the Packers all game
long, despite having a solid playoff run up to that point. Then,
he gets hurt (um, "hurt") and Todd Collins comes in, and, within
a couple of plays, is also hurt.
Enter Caleb Hanie, which signifies Cutler can no longer enter
the game. Against the Green Bay Packers. In the game prior to
the Super Bowl. While his team is down a pair of touchdowns
against a defense that's been dominant at worst.
The response? Hanie came out scary-confident, and he was somehow
able to turn jitters (they were there; look at the tape again)
into two touchdown passes and constant evasion of the aggressive
Green Bay defense.
He's a restricted free agent, and the Bears aren't in position
to ask of the team who makes first offer, a draft pick.
Like I said, I hate to base the upside of any one player by a
single game, but considering the circumstances, teams need to
see it. Seriously.
<b>Question to ponder: In the long run and with 20/20 hindsight,
would the bears jave been better off to have not traded for
Cutler and, instead, used the draft choices to stengthen other
positons?</b>

Backup QB is always the most popular guy in town...
(unless his name is Todd Collins0

Not to disparage Hanie (who has gotten a raw deal from Martz),
but I think a lot of people are forgetting that in that game
where Hanie "rallied" the Bears against the Packers, Charles
Woodson was on the sideline the 2nd half.
