McNabb a bad fit

Five years ago Donovan McNabb and the Bears would have been a good fit; maybe even two years ago, but not now. The obvious reason it wouldn’t make sense to bring in the 35-year-old McNabb now, is that 100 percent of the coaching staff’s time and effort must be devoted to getting Caleb Hanie ready to lead the offense. That would leave little time to get McNabb up to speed, and there’s not much evidence that he could pick up Mike Martz’s offense on his own overnight.
