Both former Purdue QBs play against each other tonight. Hopefully, there is decent weather tonight so we can see both QBs put up some numbers. It should be a good game. The reason I bring this up is because we have two QBs starting in the NFL, and before this past season, Painter was a near lock to be drafted (who knows now), and yet we have struggled recruiting a big name QB coming out of HS. I feel like we've done a poor job of selling the successes of our players at both QB and DE at the NFL level to recruits. A couple of the DE prospects for this year have mentioned it, but I haven't heard much in the past, and I've never really heard it from our QB prospects. I'm thinking Hope is going to do a better job of selling a pretty solid track record of getting players to the NFL. |

He's had a pretty solid season, nothing great, but the Bears front offense isn't doing him any favors. His starting WRs are Rashied Davis and Brandon Lloyd. He's throwing to a bunch of #3 WRs. |

I said solid, not great, especially when you take into consideration that none of his WRs should be starters in the NFL. |

Orton's real strength is having a 5 INT god awful game, then going out to get completely plastered and act like an irresponsible asshole. http://symbii.com/images/stories/orton2.jpg http://www.squibkick.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/kyle-orton-drinking-deadspin-com.bmp |

Chicagos defense isn't what it used to be either. Orton has the ability to not lose a game and that is what is asked of him. Trent Dilfer was the same way in Baltimore and they won a S.B. Chicago should have started Orton against the COlts. They would of had a better chance a couople years ago. |

And still he put up the 12th best numbers last week in my fantasy footbal league. Go figure. Sounds solid to me. |

Seasons of 43 and 48 catches aren't the stats of a #1 WR, or even a #2 WR, he's a #3. Greg Olsen is a solid TE, and Matt Forte is a good RB, Devin Hester is a #3 WR. Its hard to produce in the passing game when you have one weapon in the passing game, and a bunch of backups everywhere else. I didn't mention Forte because he is a RB. |

RBs catch passes fool i believe he is the leading receiver and knowing ortons passing limits, its no wonder hes awful, quite trying to justify it by throwing the receivers under the bus |
