The Bears actually have a first round pick this year! Should be good news, but as they've squandered every first round pick in recent memory they should not bother with Kiper pseudo science and make a statement with this year's 29th pick. I confess to drinking the Cutler Kool Aid, but I've come to realize Jay's done. No matter how well he does in the future, he's lost the faith of the fans and that is the end in Chitown. Ask Sammy Sosa. VY could replace him as the 49th QB since McMahon, but you can't replace the flake with a flake so the Bears should draft The University's Taylor Jungmann. Yes, I know he plays baseball mostly, but he would be a suitable replacement for the disgrace from Santa Claus, Indiana.
Jungmann only played a little football in high school but showed he has the multiple dimensions to take over from Caleb Haney, when as a stellar prep hoopster he averaged 22 ppg and 18 rpg as a junior. He 's got the height and has added enough weight this year to match Cutler on the tape measure.
Most importantly he has the things Jay doesn't; leadership, accuracy and toughness. He is the undeniable leader of the 2011 Horns baseball squad. Usually the team leader in baseball is an everyday player, but Jungmann is the one players look to on the 40 acres for the clues on how to act and play. Jungmann is also incredibly accurate with his arm, something Jay isn't. We forgave him for all those interceptions in 2009, and then he turned around and threw almost as many, at arguably worse times last year. I've come to the conclusion his success at Denver was probably due to Brandon Marshall being the greatest receiver ever. Jay's second favorite, after Charles Woodson. Jungmann throws hard but he's no Nuke LaLoosh. His pinpoint accuracy adds up to strikeouts and victories galore and an ERA we haven't seen since Bob Gibson took time off from his day job with the Globetrotters to work a few summers in St. Louis for that team we will not mention. Johnny Knox will never have to learn to come back for the ball with Jungmann at the helm. Finally, Jungmann is tough. Jay, as Brian Urlacher warned us "is a pussy." When other players are talking about parties and per diems, T.J. relishes discussion about getting smashed in the face with line drives. He is famous for working through mental lapses and finishing strong, completing 5 games and counting in the 2011 campaign.
Unfortunately, it looks like Jugmann will go higher than 27th in the MLB draft so will probably and graciously decline the Bears, allowing them to not waste the time and money that they did on Curtis Ennis and all the others. Let's hope he goes to the Orioles or Senators, so he can school Danny G. in the fine art of throwing optical illusions.
Some mocK drafts have the Bears taking some receiver from Indiana in round two. I'd say we've had our fill of overrated Indiana football heroes for a while.
Instead, the Bears should take (OL) Ben Lamaak from Iowa State. A lot of guys tore up the Horns gridders this year, but Lamaak tore them up the most. He's the real deal and could help us forget about Garza.
