ESPN: On the same day they were knocked out of the playoff
picture, the Bears already began making player personnel decisions
for next season when quarterback Kyle Orton was proclaimed the
incumbent starter heading into training camp. ''All players will
have competition,'' Bears coach Lovie Smith said, according to
Chicago media outlets. ''Everybody's in the same group. But Kyle
is our quarterback. He has done a lot of good things for us this
year, but we all start from scratch and go from there.'' Offensive
coordinator Ron Turner felt the same and hinted Orton, because of
injury, has more productive years ahead of him. "He played really
well [in 2008]," Turner said. "It took him a while to get back in
the groove because of his ankle [injury]. I still don't think he's
100%."
