(Not saying that you do either) If I think that they made a bad choice then thatâ€™s the way I feel and to do not try to sugar coat it. Cedric Benson may end up being a very good player but the Bears had plenty of depth at RB and that makes him a so-so choice in my eyes. I wanted Braylon Edwards.I will be optimistic if I believe that they picked up a good player who can help but not just because the guy will hold up a Bears jersey when he is introduced to the media.Orton has had a better career than Aaron Rodgers so far and was a 4th round pick. Drafting Orton at # 4 was a very good gamble and if not for an injury he would have never slipped that far on the board. Rodgers has looked shaky at best and that was in situations when the game did not even matter. QB of the future? Doubtful but that remains to be seen.I don't see a lot of "optimism" on that subject even when it is becoming more and more of a reality that Rodgers may be the starting QB for the Packers next year.I am not trying to get into a pissing match over Bush because he is not going to play for either one of our teams or in the same division for that matter. I just donâ€™t understand the turnabout by some over his abilities.</blockquote>
