ESPN: Andy Dalton says Chicago Bears told him starting quarterback job is his

ESPN News Services

CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bears apparently won't have a quarterback competition. That job belongs to Andy Dalton.

The former Cincinnati and Dallas QB said he has been assured the top spot is his and he won't be competing with veteran Nick Foles.

"They told me I was the starter," Dalton said Thursday. "That was one of the reasons why I wanted to come here. So every conversation I've had has been that, so that's the assurance that I've gotten."

What I know about Andy is he won't take the starting job for granted. He'll fight to make the Bears a winner.

 

[Palliative Care]

Wilson was a pipe dream for the Bears and when they quit smoking that pipe, the management woke up to the fact that they had no real QB. Will Andy succeed? I sincerely hope so. However, I am not betting on the Bears to be world beaters. They barely (pardon the pun) made the playoffs last year. Of course the NFL is a crazy league now with such thinly spread real talent around, so who knows?

Da Bears!

I hope the Bears use their first round pick on OL to help Andy. But they may be looking for their QB of the future which would make sense for them.

Horrible line...better fix that first.

Agree! After last year with the Cowpatties, Andy has a lot of practice running for his life. Hopefully he won’t have to use that experience as much...
GO FROGS!

but, but, but the talking heads on espn said wilson was going to chicago and it made perfect sense though chicago doesn't have anything to really offer back in value

this is just like making trades with madden right?

Yes, my Bears cap and tee is on the way. Thought about going with a "Da Bears" tee, and a Griswold script style cap. But went traditional instead. Looking forward to the season.

I think they'll go OL in the draft. Who's to say Andy can't give them a few more years after this one?

 

[hiphopfroggy]

Dalton still has it. Give him 5 real starters on the OL and not the worst D in the history of the NFL and he will take da Bears to the playoffs.

 

[ShreveFrog]

I think Bears have a defense.

 

[nwlafrog]

Andy has one half ass receiver to toss to in his TE Jimmy graham and handoff to RB David Montgomery.

 

[Wog68]

He needs to get the Bears to put the promise in writing.
