Top 5


The Bears are obviously in need of a new quarterback, and with the way they have been playing they'll get the opportunity to draft high and get a franchise quality quarterback. Chances are that they'll just go with someone who wasn't good enough to be a back up somewhere else. It seems even if the Bears do draft a quarterback in the first round he'll be a bust, like Sexy Rexy. Here's my top 5 list of college quarterbacks who should be on the Bear's top 5 list.


5. Chad Henne-Michigan-While Michigan has looked like absolute shit at the beginning of this year, it still takes skill to be a 4 year starter there. Even in their 2 losses to start the season Henne had a rating of over 100 in both games and against Northwestern he threw for 3 touchdowns and no picks. He's not a running quarterback but he's a hell of a passer.


4. JD Booty-USC-He's only lost two games as a starter and each of those were by less than 4 points. The Bears can almost be sure he has skill just by the fact that he starts for USC. And as much as it pains me, they can be sure he's had quality coaching under Pete Carroll. In 4 games this season he's already thrown for 875 yards.


3. Andre Woodson-Kentucky-A beast of a quarterback at 6'5", 230 pounds, he's this years equivalent of Jamarcus Russell. He's thrown for 1,309 yards, 16 touchdowns, and only one interception which would make for a breath of fresh air in Chicago.


2. Tim Tebow-Florida-Another massive quarterback at 6'3", 235 pounds, but with the ability to run like a running back, and not in the fashion of McNabb or McNair. They get hyped up about their ability to run but generally can't. Tebow's rushed for a touchdown in every game this season. He's also thrown for 11 touchdowns with only two picks against the toughest conference, the SEC. And with the picture at the top of the page how could he not make the list?


1. Pat White-WV-Not the biggest guy on my list at 6'2", 185 pounds, but he is an elusive runner, which Chicago will need because of it's aging line. His stats aren't as good as others, 717 yards passing and 6 passing and 6 rushing touchdowns, but his rushing ability sets him apart and makes him a good fit for the Bear's offense.
