The Chicago Bears had a great season in 2005. They finished 11-6 and went to the playoffs. Their one problem was scoring. Many in the media have touted the Bears as the NFC North champions. Are they correct? Lets take a look at the 2006 Chicago Bears. Fortunately for them, their division is not that tough.
Key Moves
One major move by the Bears was the addition of Brian Griese. The offense was up and down last season. Griese will be fighting for a job. He comes in as a backup, but if Grossman fails to impress, Griese could take the reins. Their defense loses a good player in Jerry Azumah. Despite being only 28, he had to call it quits. His body got the best of him.
Quarterbacks
One of the issues last season was the health of Rex Grossman. Hes expected to be healthy this season. Grossman could help the Bears offense soar. The signing of Brian Griese gives the Bears a solid backup. Even is Grossman goes down, they wont experience a horrendous drop. Neither quarterback is upper echelon. The Bears QB situation is just above average.
Running Backs
The Bears are sitting pretty in the running game. Thomas Jones should have another great year....
