TO Counterpoint

I will have to concede that TO would bring a certain swagger to the Bears, and not just offensively, but to the entire driveway workout program as well. As for whether or not this will finally be the time that he gets his act together, well that's another story.

The response is undoubtedly no. Of course he wants to win a championship (and get paid), but more than anything else, he wants the recognition. Someone clearly did not give him enough love as a child and now he just acts out to get as much attention as possible. TO would most definitely upgrade the receiving corps and provide a high profile target for Kyle to throw to, and would probably be a good complement for Devin as another guy who commands a double team. However, I cannot possibly believe that if Kyle Orton suddenly stops throwing him the ball, or can't, that TO will let it go quietly. And for a quarterback playing for a team with a history of head cases at the position, nothing good can come of TO questioning the king of neck beards.

I grant the merit in exploring TO's availability, but looking at Angelo's history, this move will not happen. We will sit back on the 18th pick, hope someone falls to us, and most likely end up drafting another number 2 at receiver (or if for some reason we feel a little saucy, pursue the soon-to-be-free-agent Torry Holt, a great receiver who wants to win and is much less of a character issue). On the other hand, maybe this is the year the Bears spice things up...and get a damn stud at wideout.
