certainly fits quality rewards time whether wonder worth
At the end of the day when you're making any decision, you wonder whether the rewards are worth the risk. And in this case, they certainly were. We got a quality quarterback that really fits into what we do offensively and makes us better. And that's our job. We feel good. Now time will tell.
good
We do have a plan. But we have a good nucleus, so we're going to be very selective.
corner seem
We would like to get another corner in here. It doesn't seem like you can have too many corners.
brand foremost healthy jerry leading life maybe normal obviously
Maybe he'll be brand new; we don't know yet. The No. 1 thing is we want to make sure, as he does, that he's healthy and can go on leading a normal life after football. That is first and foremost with his agent, with Jerry and obviously with us.
assured came clear process throughout
never, ever in doubt. Eugene assured us throughout the process that Cedric wanted to be a Bear. And I wanted to make sure that when Cedric came in with his adviser, we made that clear as well.
problem
We've never had a problem with him, going back to when (he was in) Tampa.
bad confident felt investment leadership
We made an investment with Grossman, ... We felt very confident about his leadership abilities. It wasn't a bad decision. It was bad luck.
believe gonna guarantee investment opening percent sure
We made an investment in a player, and I believe you play your investments out. Is that 100 percent sure he's gonna be on our team's opening day roster? I can't guarantee that, either.
guy impressive
Probably the most impressive guy who I've interviewed.
areas experience gained game improve needs rookie
Orton's got to take another step. He needs to take the experience that he gained as a rookie and take another step. There are areas of his game that he has to improve before I feel really comfortable with him.
couple tampa
It would be something you'd want to think about. We did it in Tampa a couple times. It would be something we'd entertain.
agency colleges expansion facilitate football free generating offensive position teams
The one position I think ? not think, but know ? has been undervalued with free agency and expansion with 32 teams now is the offensive line. The colleges just aren't generating enough offensive linemen to facilitate all 32 football teams.
great minimize personal
You can't minimize great quarterback play in great games, so he's probably my personal pick.
coached college filter football identify maybe objective played
There wasn't a filter that a lot of us who maybe coached or played college football identify with. Maybe we aren't as objective as we should be.
