"I don't think this guy is a mistake"

Rich Gannon Nov 21 2009 2:42 PM from Chicago Sun-Times

"All the great ones have two key traits: They are smart -- and that includes poised -- and they are accurate"

Sam Wyche Nov 21 2009 2:42 PM from Chicago Sun-Times

"Of every organized sport, football is the most dependent ... It's the only sport where everyone stands still for one second, then in the one instant when the ball is snapped, everybody must work in concert for the next three or..."

Sam Wyche Nov 21 2009 2:42 PM from Chicago Sun-Times

"He's using that as his running game ... Balance is still the key. The Bears need to find that formula."

Ted Marchibroda Nov 21 2009 2:42 PM from Chicago Sun-Times

"The psychological effect of losing or poor play is real ... That's where coaching comes in. A quarterback needs a strong ally among the coaches, someone who is always there with him."

Sam Wyche Nov 21 2009 2:42 PM from Chicago Sun-Times

"With the interceptions, you put some on the play-caller and some on him"

Rich Gannon Nov 21 2009 2:42 PM from Chicago Sun-Times

"You don't have to be strong at every position ... You just don't want to be the weakest at any position. He can't do it alone, but he's the guy pulling the strings. So the more he can handle, the better."

Ted Marchibroda Nov 21 2009 2:42 PM from Chicago Sun-Times

"I played in Oakland and Kansas City, and the two teams had the same systems"

Rich Gannon Nov 21 2009 2:42 PM from Chicago Sun-Times

"The quarterback is not as guilty as we make him out to be ... There is so much involved."

Sam Wyche Nov 21 2009 2:42 PM from Chicago Sun-Times

"If they hired a guy that had all the answers, like myself, they'd solve their problems"
