I'd have Orton. He can do something Grossman can't: Stay healthy. I think he can also be a great QB if he's surronded with better weapons.

I'd choose Orton over Grossman for the same reason, Orton can actually survive the entirety of a season, whereas Grossman can go down at any time--he isn't very dependable.
Give me Orton any day of the week. He wins games and can stay healthy. Whether or not he plays well doing it, he won games, which is the most important thing.

Wow. I didn't expect this much support for Orton. On MB's w/ Bears fans, they all want Grossman. I'd still like Orton. However, I think it was right to play Grossman in the playoffs. The only problem was the first 5 plays they called were to chuck it deep to Berrian. That set the whole tone for the game.
the problem with grossman is he gives the bears a false sense of security. When he is in the game they think they have an awesome QB.....when they have a homo. With Orton they know they are going to have to pound the ball and play awesome D. Which is the only thing they are good for anyways.
Who cares, Brian Griese will be the 1st or 2nd QB anyways. But if I had to pick, Orton, Grossman can't stay on the field for 2 minutes.

What was the point of taking Mushin 2 years ago, and not having a QB, AND NOT DRAFTING ONE THIS YEAR. Makes no sense.
Orton is going to Bears cap as the #3 QB. If they would let this kid build his arm strength, I think he could be the future for the Bears. I want Orton over Grossman. Grossman can't stay healthy.
I haven't followed it closely, but a healthy Grossman would be an easy choice. I don't recall him ever having injury problems in college. Strange that he can't stay on the field now.I guess I would pick Orton as well, since Grossman can't stay on the field.
Orton? He is not even in the discussion now. It is between Griese and Grossman and I think they should go with Grossman and give him a shot and see if he can do anything with this team.
