I would love to get Brian Urlacher's take on this. Nothing better than a bitter ex-player kicking his old team while they're down.
The Bears can't couldnt even attempt to put points on the board so Rodgers could stay in the game longer. I almost pulled out a miracle in FF. Thanks, Chicago.

Confirmed today. Rotten luck for a team that was generating some serious buzz. Stanton can keep them afloat for a while but I can't envision him outplaying the likes of Rodgers, Brees, or Wilson in the postseason.
My ears perked up every time his name was mentioned. A lot of kickoff returns for Mr. Williams last night.
I find it funny all the analysts were correct when they said that the running quarterbacks who dominated 2 years ago would kind of fade away. Cam, Kaep, RGIII, etc. play like shells compared to what they were 2 years ago.
I don't mind a QB being mobile - Rodgers, Wilson and Luck typically pick up a couple first downs each game with their legs. But an NFL qb has to be able to make his progressions and see the whole field. The problem with the guys you mentioned is that their first instinct is to tuck the ball and run if their first read isn't there. NFL defenders are too fast for that to be effective.
