polksalet Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 CHICAGO (AP) -- The Chicago Bears on Tuesday waived quarterback Craig Krenzel, who was the team's first quarterback in nearly 40 years to start his career with three straight victories. Krenzel, 23, who was a fifth-round pick in the 2004 NFL Draft, appeared in six games last year, starting five, and compiled a 3-2 record. On Oct. 31, he led the Bears to a 23-13 win over the San Francisco 49ers, and followed that effort by helping to guide the Bears to consecutive victories over the New York Giants and the Tennessee Titans. He injured his ankle against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day and his season ended when he was placed on the injured reserve Dec. 7. Overall last year, Krenzel completed 59 of 127 passes for 718 yards. He threw three touchdowns and six interceptions. He was a two-year starter at Ohio State, leading the Buckeyes to a 14-0 record and the national championship in 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broncosn05 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 (edited) Now this is interesting they get Braylon Edwards who I think is friggin awesome and remain to have no QB worth an AFL career Edit- I won't change it because this should be in the most f'n horrific posts in a thread ever. To correct myself I will say that the Bears should have kept him until preseason because as much as he sucks Hutchinson is right there?? Once again sorry about this terrible mistake but I'm glad you all could fill up half a page with one...............typo......

rocknrobn26 Posted June 15, 2005 Share Posted June 15, 2005 Back to the original post..... No surprise as they have 5 QB's and I believe Kitner won the last 2 games to win the championship. I am NOT putting a lot of importance in that, but the Bears probably are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bears' only hope is that Grossman can play more than three straight games for once. Otherwise, they'll be drafting a QB again next season.

This will literally be like taking candy from a baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill, Agree on Kitner, but he is not much worse than the rest, bar Grossman's & Orton's potential. Patience my ass....I wanna kill sumptin'!

The worst thing about it is the Bears didn't even draft a WR in round 1, they went RB (Cedric). I could understand if maybe this guy got Mike Williams and Braylon confused or something.

1stimer Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I must agree. The kid loves Breylon Edwards, but he doesn't know who drafted him. 844074[/snapback] Bears ... Browns ... they both start with B and end with S give the kid some credit. I am just surprised Krenzel played in a few NFL game and won a couple. Didn't seem like he was NFL material ... except for the smarts aspect of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's twice I've heard someone comment about how ga ga the Bears are over Orton, and it's just too early. They have the same canned answer for any rookie at this point in time.

They have the same canned answer for any rookie at this point in time. 844256[/snapback] The Bears front office is full of it and I'm sick and tired of their BS. Orton was a good third-round pick for a QB-starved team, but anybody who bothered to watch him play for Purdue knows that he'll most likely be a career NFL backup. Despite playing in an offense that inflated his passing stats and having (college) studs like Standeford and Stubblefield to throw to, Orton still couldn't hold onto the starting gig. I don't appreciate Angelo et al. implying that Orton is a legitimate NFL starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to be optimistic about his abilities, since I think he was pretty much on the same par as Brees when coming out of college. I'll need to look at their numbers to see if I am nuts about that.
