Kitna is currently on the Bengals team. I think the Bears should trade their 1st and 3rd round pick to San Diego for Philip Rivers. Since Drew Brees is doing good why would the Chargers want to keep Rivers and his huge contract.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (BearsFan1)</div><div class='quotemain'>signed Jeff Blake. He is still on bengals i believe</div> ok wasn't sure. Orton is probably gonna be your guy I am assuming for now.
Orton has a long way to go before he can be the starter. Look at Eli Manning he had tons of struggles and he was the 1st overall pick last year. They wont use Orton unless they have to because Orton isnt ready yet to start in the NFL.

I would put him in if he keeps playing good in the preseason. It won't hurt.
But trust me you dont want a middle round rookie QB running your offense, i learned that when the panthers started Chris Weinke and went 1-15.
Orton should be good eventually i'd sit em for a few years and then depending on which direction they go with Grossman either ships him out or put him in control.
Picking up Jeff Blake is a good move for the Bears. I always liked him and was sad when Aaron Brooks took his starting job away in New Orleans after that freak injury he had. Trading for Kitna is a great idea, though. He is just riding out his contract with the Bengals right now...

Rivers has yet to prove he can be a starter. For as little "real" game experience as he has, they'd be just as well off starting Orton.
Give up a 2nd rounder for Kitna. Try and salvaget the season because with that defense who knows how far they'll go. I think no where but I am a Packer fan.
Kitna has stated he wishes to retire after this season as a Bengal, he may play one more but it'll be as a backup to Palmer.
But Rivers gives them a elite QB for the future. Rivers is gonna do a lot better than anyone else they could get. Kitna might be around for 2 more years if they signed him, Rivers has potentally a great career in front of him. Rivers is sitting on the sideline with tons of talent, so since Brees is a pro bowler why not get a some draft picks for him.
Either way I think Chicago is gonna bring in a QB next season. There is even some speculation that Rex Grossman is gonna get released at the end of the season. Thats what I heard on Cold Pizza at least. Orton is probably a project to them now and I expect they bring in someone next year to help him out. Thats far away yet.
If Lovie Smith wants to keep his job, he better trade for a QB right now, becuase if hes finshes in the top 5 worst teams he will get fired

New Coke is going to rock! Everyone will own an etsel!! DPG, way to jump in before me and point out San Diego will not accept.
San Diego would accept because they know the Bears draft pick that they would get would probly be in the top 10. So if Brees failed they could always draft a QB next year. If the Bears offered them enough they Chargers would gladly accept. Drew Brees wont be a one year wonder, nothing has changed since his run last year and Marty knows it, so why keep Rivers

The Bears won't do it either. You don't know what your getting and I am sure SD would be asking for a high price. Yea Rivers looked good in 1 preseason game but it's not worth giving up 2 first day picks as well and the word "Elite" is often overused. Especially on younger players.
