Not true at all. Touch is the ability to correctly gauge distance, angle and ball flight to both deep and short routes. Touch is the ability to be able to read the correct distance, velocity and angle on a throw at all different lengths of throws.

 

Like the great pass to Finley a few minutes ago.

Well, when referencing a quarterback, usually "touch" means taking a bit off a throw. When talking about deep balls, Orton needs to put more on it, not put touch on it. He underthrows a lot of guys deep. Putting touch on deep balls would be more like lobbing one in or something, which he doesn't need to do. The trajectory is fine, the distance is not.

No doubt in my mind that Rex is better than Orton right now. If Orton's coming back next year, I can only pray his terrible 2nd half this season is due to the injury.

 

Rex was no better than what Kyle's doing now. Don't kid yourself. They're both mediocre-bad QB's.

I am far from a football expert, but if you blitz all your LBs, like we just did on 3rd down, why not have the CB's up on the WR to take away that quick pass?

Because it makes sense. We don't do things that make sense.

Yes, thank you. This is what I've been saying since the beginning of the year. Bashing Orton is not a de facto endorsement of Rex.

G-reg is a Pro-Bowl caliber TE

Except for that one game early in the season where he was a 6'5" turd. Hopefully that just ends up being the worst game of his career. Otherwise, Olsen is great, and Clark is also good so he's a luxury.

Yeah, I guess we had consistently good performances from guys we expect, like Briggs and Gould.

 

I was just contrasting how I feel at the end of this Bears season to how I felt at the end of the Sox season this year. I was/ am optimistic about the Sox because we had the emergence of Danks, Floyd, Rameriz and The Carlos Quentin. I don't have any optimistic feelings about the Bears.

For as much s*** as I talk about Ron Turner, this offense has exceeded my expectations by quite a bit. Which isn't saying a whole lot, but is still something.

While I get what you're saying, it's so frustrating. Forte finally gets a ball thrown his way and he takes it for 13 yards.

He doesn't exactly have a lot of talent to work with here.

 

Thank you for making my point, Marty Booker.
