I hope John Taint enjoys his cellar-dwelling season with the Bears.

Chiefs vs Colts with Taint: 0-4

You mean Terry Shea's Mr.-I-Know-The-System? He's more hated in Chicago than Steve Bartman, and probably the worst QB to ever wear a Bears uniform, and DAMN THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING.

Probably not Vanuatu, though they are a cargo cult island.

This Quinn is too bad to be true
October 18, 2004

BY RICK TELANDER SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST

How not to be cruel? How about this? It's possible Bears quarterback Jonathan Quinn isn't pathetic in the red zone.

Could be, you know.

Because on Sunday the Bears never made it to the fricking red zone.

Sorry.

How about this?

Quinn had the highest rushing average of anybody on either team in this what-did-I-pay-for-a-seat-license, dear-God-must-the-season-go-on? 13-10 loss to the feeble Washington Redskins.

The Quinn-ster gained 32 yards on two carries. Yes, sir!

But he was sacked four times for 31 yards in losses.

And he passed for 34 net yards.

For the whole freaking game!

On a perfect weather day.

That's 8.5 yards per quarter.

However, in the first quarter Quinn amassed three yards passing, and in the third quarter he lit up the fall air for 1 yard.

So he was out-of-control, en fuego pass-happy in the second and fourth quarters.

Not.

Basically, this game -- which made the Bears 1-4 and dropped them down there with the molding detritus of the NFL, such as your weenie-Wannie Dolphins -- consisted of the inept Washington team scoring a touchdown, two field goals and letting Quinn come apart like a sock puppet.

There is just no other way to describe it: Quinn might be the worst Bears starting quarterback in modern history.

His performance at Soldier Field was beyond Rusty Lisch-ious.

He is Cade McNown without peripheral vision.

He is Will Furrer without the left hand.

He is Henry Burris without the attitude.

He is Steve Bradley without the strike year.

He is Peter Tom Willis without the pedigree.

Why, he's Moses Moreno without the charisma.

One hundred sixty yards in total offense, with tailback Thomas Jones gaining 97 yards himself?

A 33.5 quarterback rating?

One-for-14 on third- and fourth-down conversions?

After two weeks of preparation and film study and conditioning and mental immersion in the craft of starting quarterback-dom?

Late in the fourth quarter, with the Bears still somehow holding a chance to win, Quinn dropped back to pass on third-and-eight from the Bears' 47.

He looked, in his slow, mechanical retreat, like a statue on a wheeled cart. He held the ball, cocked and ready, like an oaken catapult with a loaf of bread in its pouch.

The entire sun-drenched stadium -- indeed, the entire football world -- saw Redskins cornerback Shawn Springs sprinting in from Quinn's left side, and you could almost hear the slow-motion roar: "Watch ... out ... for ... the ... blitz ... you ... big ... dummy!!!''

Of course, Quinn didn't.

If Quinn weren't 6-6, 240, he would now be part of the sod near midfield. Or bug splatter on Springs' grille.

When the Bears' last embarrassing offensive effort had been made -- sack, sack, completion, interception -- Bears wide receiver David Terrell came to the bench and screamed, "Mother------!'' as loud as he could.

Terrell is just the kind of high-strung, egomaniacal player who will detonate under the misguidance of a quarterback who doesn't have a clue.

Terrell was frothing all afternoon on the sideline, even seemingly mouthing off to a coach.

He silently fumed as he dressed in his red Carmelo Anthony-model Oak Hill Academy stocking cap and yellow game jersey. He put on his black leather coat and hissed, "I had fun playing against my favorite team. Bye!'' And he was gone.

That's what one catch for 10 yards will do to a guy who fancies himself a gamebreaker. Terrell would be better off wearing a shortstop's glove or jai alai cesta to handle Quinn.

Of course, that's assuming Quinn ever starts for the Bears again.

Young molecular biologist Craig Krenzel and surfer dude Chad Hutchinson now move out of the clipboard world -- no matter how unqualified they may be -- and into the scary world of starting in the NFL.

"Nothing about being a starting quarterback is easy,'' said the oddly unflapped Quinn after the game.

Did he feel overmatched? I wanted to know.

"No,'' Quinn answered.

I thought about asking him if he thought the earth was flat, but didn't want to debate the answer.

Thus, the Bears have seen their rebuilding plans screech to a spark-flinging halt because of a long train of oversight.

Earth to Bears: Did it ever dawn on you that your starting quarterback, Rex Grossman, might blow out his knee and be lost for the year? Guys, this is the league that devours its own. Backups count. Or did you think it was the pro bowlers tour?

New offensive coordinator Terry Shea must have convinced Lovie Smith that Quinn, a Shea protege at Kansas City, was OK. Lovie must have convinced general manager Jerry Angelo. Angelo -- with a contract extension through 2008 -- convinced president Ted Phillips. Phillips convinced Virginia McCaskey. Virginia maybe whispered the news to George Halas.

All wrong.

Do you feel for Quinn? I asked Redskins quarterback Mark Brunell, no field genius himself Sunday, with eight completions in 22 attempts for only 95 yards.

"Yes, I do,'' he replied sincerely.

So do I.

But who feels for the rest of us?
