Devin Hester says Bears shouldn't sign Donovan McNabb

Jay Cutler's broken thumb has left the Chicago Bears struggling on offense, but Devin Hester says it would be a "waste of time" to turn to Donovan McNabb as the solution.

The wide receiver, interviewed on ESPN Radio's Mike and Mike today, doubted that McNabb would be able to adjust to the schemes of offensive coordinator Mike Martz in time to make a difference for the 7-5 Bears.

"Whatever we are doing is not working and we need to fix it fast before it gets too late," Hester acknowledged of Chicago's 0-2 slide without Cutler.

But he added that: "It's going to be tough right now to add a quarterback that hasn't played in a Mike Martz offense. It's one of the more difficult offenses to run. So to get a quarterback that hasn't been in that offense, right now it's going to be a waste of time. I guess we'll stick with the guys we have right now and hope we get better with those guys."

Caleb Hanie gave up three interceptions yesterday and was sacked seven times as Chicago jeopardized its wild-card hopes with a 10-3 loss to Kansas City at home.

McNabb has cleared waivers, and is free to sign with any NFL team.
