Well, the Bears with Chris Chandler look a lot less volatile than with Kordell Stewart. I've been trying to figure this Kordell guy out and my basic assumption is that he's essentially a rookie who has been in the league a long time. With some good and possibly difficult coaching, he could turn his career back around and at least be considered a decent quarterback. He just makes too many rookie mistakes on a Bears team whose veterans have the injury bug. Chandler has plenty of experience and can use his limited abilities more effectively than Stewart can use his versatility. I don't like to see Chandler start, but I feel fairly calm when he does.

Maybe Kordell Stewart needs to stop trying to prove he is capable of getting out of his slump and just focus on the situation at hand. He's given the opponent the ball at the end of each first half this year, all in situations where the game was close and we could have made it, at least, closer. These aren't life-or-death moments, so don't treat them that way.

Honestly, I have no ideal. But my initial statement is probably the most true thing... The Bears with Kordell, for some reason -- whatever reason you decide, are an unstable concoction.

Super Bowl!
