So....we agree?

Yeah, right okay, Forte will be the next Payton. Happy?

I'd love to get Williams but many people on here will probably just tell you he's a cancer and all that garbage. Whoever we draft as a QB (Stafford, etc), and with a FA OT (Gross, Tauscher, Goff, etc.) to go with C. Williams along with Forte and R. Williams is a start toward building a nice offense.

Like I said, there will never be another Walter Payton, which means nobody will be as productive, statistically, as Wally P was.

The way I see it- Mark Tauscher (a current Packer) and Jordan Gross (a current Panther) are both UFA OTs after this season. Sign one of them, give them more then what they're worth, and then go draft a QB. Also, Mike Goff (a current Charger) is an UFA OG after the year, so if we can't land Gross OR Tauscher, this wouldn't be a bad option C. I don't think we have any guys currently on the team that we need to re-new their contracts (besides Grossman), so I think we're pretty set there, although I could be wrong.

Why are we all of a sudden counting Williams off? He has an injury, but the chances, according to doctors, are good that he'll be fine for next year. To draft an OT in the 1st round for 2 straight drafts, one of which is a top 15 and one of which is a top 5 (maybe a 3 or 2) pick is ridiculous. Maybe we should go out and sign, forgetting the cost, a young yet proven OT. This way, we can draft a QB, and we have the main ingredients in place. From there, draft another WR to go with Hester and Bennett for the future.

Hopefully we change it up a bit from SB XLI.

There will never be another Walter Payton.

Like I said... But seriously, like I believe nfo said in a different thread (duh), we already tried to build the defense from the ground up with Brown and Urlacher. It worked, but it never got us a world title. Now, after this year, try to build the offense from the ground up, and it starts with QB.

Any reason why?

I'm more looking forward to the first time Berrian has to come over the field for a ball against us. But yeah, great for RMJ. He just isn't a very good player anymore and he may end up getting released by St. Louis.

Why shouldn't he be getting that hype? He was clearly our best looking QB in pre-season, whether or not it was against a bunch of guys who are going to get cut. He threw the ball well, had nice zip on his throws, and had poise. He also scrambled pretty well, and didn't throw into 17 guys, like your boy.

I'm going to guess Hester and Booker, for what it's worth.

I agree. I wouldn't exactly sign him, unless if it were to take that POS Rex's spot.

Many people here, including me, wanted Starks if we couldn't land Faneca. This would be huge. The only thing I fear is that they'd want a 1st round pick. If they didn't, we don't exactly have nice trade pieces.

LET'S GO TROJANS Anytime Matthew Stafford wants to pack in his college career and start his Bears career is fine by me.

I wish you were right- I just don't see us carrying 3 QBs.

If I had to guess: Baldwin LaRocque Hanie Clermond Trey Brown

Then: QB WR OG OT WR S RB OT That would be fine with me. Although, this: OT QB WR OG WR S RB OT wouldn't be bad, either, but I'm guessing JA will hesistate taking another OT in the first round, yet alone with a top 5 or top 3 pick.

I know that maybe if one of those guys would have came to the Bears it could have been a different story, but if you look at the guys picked after Bazuin, nobody stands out as a current good player. Bazuin will get picked up soon, and the same goes for Okwo. Bazuin has the potential, however, Okwo is too small, IMO.

Good news for Peanut, and for the Bears. Now, get back to old form, Peanut.

Then... With the first pick in the 2009 NFL draft, the Chicago Bears select...Matthew Stafford, Georgia. Then in the 2nd round, we can go with WR, and in the 3rd, an OG or OT. Does anybody know how many picks we have in the draft?

Wow- we agree. We'd all love to think he can be a productive player, but his inconsistent hands and his inability to stay healthy leads me to believe he'll have a spot on this team, but if we get deeper this offseason at the WR position, he'll be out. He is just a liability. If the season gets out of hand, I hope he can stay healthy and prove us all wrong that he can be a good player in the league.

Neither is Dvoracek, and we aren't going to cut him.
