Griese Chicken Report: He threw for over 300 yards and didn't throw an interception. He only threw one touchdown, but it came at a vital time; an end of the game touchdown drive to win. His communication device in his helmet before the last drive, which means he called all the plays himself to go 97 yards and throw a touchdown pass. I have to agree with Jeff at Da' Bears Blog that Brian Griese is the Bears quarterback. I was skeptical at first of him, and thought that they should have given Grossman another chance, but after Sunday I have to say Griese has earned his chance.

The Good: The Bears earned their first victory over McNabb. McNabb had never lost to the Bears before this game. Brian Urlacher looked like his self of old, recording 8 tackles and 4 assists. Russ at Bears Gab points out that the Bears are back in the playoff hunt for now. The NFC North isn't looking that great, and the Bears may even have a shot of winning the division.

The Bad: The running game still hasn't picked up, even with Griese throwing for over 300 yards. Benson had 46 yards on 17 attempts, which is awful (this week's rushing leader was Watson with Cincinnati, who had 130 yards on 31 attempts). Peterson had 21 yards on 4 rushes, which makes me question why he didn't get the ball more.

The Ugly: Redzone percentages for both teams. Chicago went 1/3 and Philly went 1/4. The Bears really need to improve this, although it was nice to see the Bears D hold Philly to 1/4 in the redzone.

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.
