NFC - Chicago Bears

Could very well capture the starting job, though this says more about Rex Grossman.

In Orton, the Bears have a desperate mediocre pocket passer who, on a good day, might hesitate between seven-and twelve-yard completions.

If Chicago is emotional enough to search for lightning in a bottle under center, they should go with Orton.

After all, he has only 18 career starts, while the soon-to-be 28-year-old Grossman has 30.

In other words, there still might be a sliver of hope that Orton is not a finished product.
