When the 49ers drag their rotting fool-hardy monstrously-depressing shambles of a wreck of a display of a quarterback contest to The Windy City today, they'll be providing the backdrop for another team's quarterback travails.

Chicago has had itself a lively internecine quarterback duel between two off-cut characters: #8 Rex Grossman and #18 Kyle Orton.

Of course, Chicago hasn't had a quarterback since Sid Luckman back in the 1940s, so how would the city know if/when they have one today?

(And no, Jim McMahon does not count. Sure; he had balls of metal, but would you want him running a two-minute drill with your life on the line? 'Zactly. Shush now.)

And now, as the third preseason game is played, Orton has taken the lead against all odds and these two odd men continue their battle to be the signal-caller for Papa George Halas' team.
