I think that both the Pats and the Packers take QBs often in the
draft.

All I can say about Enderle is I hope the Bears did a lot more
homework on him than they did on LeFevour.
If LeFevour wasn't good enough to be our 3rd QB right out of the
gate (thereby keeping him off the PS), then we shouldn't have
drafted him. After the way Angelo bungled that whole situation
with LeFevour they are almost obligated to keep Enderle on the
active roster this year or the outcry over yet another thrown
away draft pick will be severe.

Story in the Trib today about how he is exactly the kind of
player that Martz likes. He developed Warner and Bulger, blah
blah blah. Sounds like propaganda to talk the fans off the
ledge...

LeFevour was only put on the PS because of the injury to Hanie -
they didn't want to keep 4 QBs on the roster. Bears might have
been able to hide him if he hadn't performed so well in the
final preseason game. He had a nice TD pass to another player
that we tried to stash on the PS too.
And then the Vikings later swiped Iglesias too.
As for LeFevour, if he was so good, would the Bengals have
drafted Andy Dalton in the 2nd round?

Bengals needed a starter. LeFevor wasnt ready for that

We would have been better off going into 2010 with Cutler, Hanie
and LeFevour as our 3 rather than Todd Collins.
Seriously... that guy was worse than worthless. I've seen a
whole lot of godawful QBs in my years of watching the Bears but
Collins was easily in the Top (Bottom?) 5 of Bear QBs all-time
for overall suc-kage.
Not to mention, then we could have used this year's 5th rounder
on another OL or a big WR.

LeFevour, Collins, and Enderle and Fat Manu are all about Martz.
I think Martz has a good handle of his playbook after his
several years of coaching and can call a good game. But IMO his
evaluation skills are at best overrated and at worst as bad as
Lovie and Angelo. His reputation still hangs on the excellent
talent he was spoiled with during the Greatest Show on Turf over
a decade ago and he still believes he can resurrect those glory
days in Chicago.
Seriously, does anyone believe that Martz will be on the Bears
staff long enough to develop Enderle into a competent backup or
trade bait. I don't. It was not necessary to waste a draft
pick, even a 5th, on a QB with so many glaring immediate needs
and only 5 picks to address them.

Actually they would be the same with both scenarios. They had a
chance to get Bulger last off season and they blew it. Cutler,
Bulger, and Hanie would've been much MUCH better than the other
2 scenarios you brought up.

I don't have a problem with the picks. You brought up another
OL. I think they are either going to pick up one via free
agency or stick with what they have. Put Carimi at LT. Don't
move to the right.
Then you brought up drafting a "big" WR in the 5th round. I'm
starting to think they'll stick with the guy from the CFL and/or
keep Aromashadu and see if he can come with it this year. I
don't have an issue with the picks at all.

I would be beyond shocked if Aromashadu was back with us for
this season.
The coaches gave every indication last year that they want
nothing to do with him.

Yep, Aromashodu is gone.
Martz failure to utilize him, his pass heavy play calling and
his faith in Todd Collins have been my biggest concerns with
Martz' judgment.
