But at the same time he acknowledges the raw talent of the squad. I think a more fair conclusion he could've drawn would be: -Inexperience overcomes talent: 7W, 5L -Talent and rapid growth overcomes inexperience: 11W, 1L Jan, the author mentioned that the youth and inexperience of the team made the season an “unknown.” But at the same time he acknowledges the raw talent of the squad.

There are plenty of other speedsters on this team that can handle the job. I think Best being the "best" gunner was another example of why Tedford needs to focus on the whole team. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a DB or Deboskie on the outside for punts. I also guarantee that Holt and Bishop will get reps, since Tedford isn't going to wait to develop them in the '09 campaign, when they'll be expected to take on larger roles. How much they'll play will be determined on the quality of their substitutions. Those grades are STUPID. After they looked at the Bears, ESPN analyzed another team and gave them a better record, but lower grades. Makes ZERO sense. I think someone just punched in the numbers. Maybe, the boys at BearInsider can bring some sensibility to ESPN's coverage. I’ll make a fearless prediction that Best will not be gunning this year.
