"When Kyle Orton plays quarterback Sunday at Soldier Field — the only way this game becomes a Chief concern for the Bears — he figures to be pressured, pounded and probably booed no matter what he does.

Some things never change.

During his four seasons as a Bear, we focused so much on what Orton wasn't that we often overlooked what he was in going 21-12 as a starter. I was as guilty as anybody routinely describing Orton as steady but hardly spectacular. It became rote to say Orton was durable but not mobile; accurate on short passes but not the deep ball."
