[CBFF] Long goodbye -- chicagotribune.com

I would agree with Vic.
Drafting a Qb will put us 3 years back in development. (See Toms Alex Smith
argument).
Trading/signing Anderson would cost a 1st and 3rd, and certainly not worth
it.
Bringing in another Griese like player, just gives us another Griese type
guy.
