I think there may be a chance Kordell could be playing qb for the Bears next yr. not the Steelers.Never happen. McCaskey (Bears president Mike, grandson of George Halas) would sooner grab the starter from Slippery Rock than to grab an experienced NFL QB. He's too damned cheap to do otherwise.

Sorry, but who would want Stewart as a QB anyway? I went to CU and have been a Steeler fan since Hanretty and Bradshaw were fighting for the starting spot, and I really wanted Steward to make it. He's had plenty of chances but just can't quite seem to make it over the top -- at least on a consistent basis. He reminds me of Bubby Brister. They both seem to play great off the bench, but carrying the weight of "starter" gets to be too much.

That is something of a myth. The Bears payroll is not one of the smaller ones in the league. They have spent money (maybe not wisely) but their problems have not come from being too cheap. The reason they did not take Bledsoe was not totally because of the price. Cade McNown was paid big money and the club signed several of their guys to big money contracts last yr. (More than I would have paid for B. Robinson, Azuma, Alfonzo Boone and McQuarters.)
At that time I was sure our qb situation was fine believing Chandler would play like he has throughout his career and that Miller would be around for most of the games in a healthy condition.
Now they will have to sign a veteran and draft a qb. However, given the Bears luck with qbs I would not put all my eggs in one basket and pay one tens of millions. I would look for a Dent-type pass rusher first.

He's too damned cheap to do otherwise.I hope someone picks up Kordell's contract. If the Steelers could waste him it would put 6 million back into the pie so we could rent a backup QB and maybe a couple of corners who can actually stop a pass.
