This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I think that you are correct on all counts. If they truly by Hati Hijau
wanted to replace Mitch with a premier QB, they would have shot higher than Foles. Although Foles has been better than Mitch, many QBs have, the decades long inertia in the Bears front office (wash, rinse, repeat?) has become almost as legendary as GSH.
That said, I think Foles has more talent and skills than Mitch. However, if he does clutch the seemingly non-coveted job of Chicago Bears QB, it may end his career. After all, it is 21st Century Bears (Pace Edition, Ver. #?). I hope that Papa Bear weeps. However, I am numbed to a near comatose state. (I remember the 1-13 Bears were so bad we tried to predict what comical antic/mistake would occur on every play. It kept our sanity and replaced our existential weeping. We laughed until we cried.)
