Mike Ditka loves Cam Newton and Tim Tebow, but apparently not Jay Cutler

[News Bot]

As former Bears and Saints coach Mike Ditka turns 72, Ditka spoke to the Chicago Sun-Times about a variety of topics, and he shared some strong opinions. As he always does. For starters, Ditka loves former Auburn quarterback Cam Newton. ‘‘I would take Newton,” Ditka said.* “I would take him in a heartbeat.* I think…

I doubt Ditka could do anything with those guys.


Anyone remember his time in New Orleans?

I don't think anyone that calls themselves a Saints fan is gonna forget Ditka giving up 3 years of draft picks for ONE player (Ricky Williams). If he likes Newton so much, I bet he would do it again lol.

When bad drafting is mentioned, i don't think anyone will ever top Ditka's moves. 3 years of picks wasted, and to think the Saints actually won 10 games in 2000.

If we're to stay in a black QB comparison, Newton reminds me more of Daunte Culpepper.

Tebow is quite unique. He's not fast, he's just too powerful. And he is really intelligent, has a great grasp of offenses and defenses. His problem is lack of talent as a passer, in terms of arm strenght and accuracy.

Tebow is like a Trent Dilfer, but with great mobility.

Only Dilfer thinks Dilfer was a good QB.

He's 72!!!????
Holy Schnickes! I had no idea.
Ditka is the kind of guy that when Death comes knocking, Ditka is gonna kick Death in the ****** and yell "Get the F off my porch!" and then throw his *** of chewed up gum at the Grim.

You can hate the Bears all you want, but ya gotta love the old school toughness of Coach Ditka. He's a rare and endangered breed in today's football and sissy PC world.
I respect him. Gawd I respect him.
