I'm no Cutler fan but Palmer's been declining for years

Maybe so but after Halas & Ditka the quality of coaching isn't exactly HOF worthy

Gerrard is a solid NFL starter, nothing great but adequate

the problem is Harvin with the migraines will never be always healthy & ya just don't know when they'll pop up so it's an unrealistic question

Not to make light of it but seeing as he was on record as saying he would donate his brain to research he was hardly gonna shoot himslf in the head

Pass been there done that with a safety who can't stay on the field

People here still want this guy?

Not sure on Clay Lemon, remember we took Unga in the supplemental. What round do we lose because of the supplemental pick ??

http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2011/...mond-mcgee.html Source: Bears will sign punter Richmond McGee February 9, 2011 6:28 AM | No Comments By Brad Biggs Brad Maynard said all last season that he was hopeful to return to the Bears in 2011. While the team got modest contract extensions finalized for long snapper Pat Mannelly and defensive tackle Matt Toeaina before the season ended, Maynard is one of the 14 players on the roster set to become an unrestricted free agent. Now, perhaps the team has his replacement in place. Richmond McGee will sign a reserve/futures contract this week, according to an NFL source, bringing a familiar face back into the fold. The 27-year-old Texas product has been a camp leg for the past two years and got extensive work last offseason when Maynard was working his way back from arthroscopic hip surgery. McGee spent a week on the practice squad in 2010 and had a week on the 53-man roster at the end of 2009. McGee has been viewed as a candidate to one day replace Maynard, but it's doubtful he'll be given the job without competition. If Maynard is re-signed, the veteran would automatically become the favorite to be the punter in 2011. Maynard turns 37 today and only two punters in NFL history have kicked more than him. While he didn't have his best statistical season (40.1 yards gross average, 35.2 yards net), he's a directional punter who fits special teams coordinator Dave Toub's system well, and he played several games in difficult windy conditions. Maynard has been a big part of the highly ranked special teams units over the last seven seasons. But the Bears keep bringing McGee back because they believe he has a future. They'd move on to another free agent if they didn't see potential in him. As was reported here on Dec. 28, the Bears brought in four punters for a tryout during Week 17. They looked at A.J. Trapasso, Brent Bowden, T.J. Conley and Australian Dan Power. Clearly, they believe McGee is the best option right now. Whether McGee is essentially insurance for Maynard remains to be seen. The Bears may want to wait until the labor situation is resolved to address contracts for veterans. The futures contract McGee will sign is binding, but it will not take effect until the first day of the new league year when rosters can expand from 53 to a maximum of 80. However, Maynard doesn't figure to be in line for a big pay day, and the Bears could sign him now without impacting cash flow at Halas Hall.

He's already been paid 7 million & woud only cost 1. something net season

Cubs in baseball Penguins in Ice hockey Not a huge basketball fan but have followed the Lakers on & off strange mix but not being from Chicago theres no real allegiance to the other sports teams from the city

Saw BB King live at a free street gig in Dublin, The year after saw Robert Cray How about Gary moore? Passed away saturday night. Sad

May be misremembering from getting old but havn't we used him in wildcat? Don't remember an awful lot of good things happening from it. Reverses yes

Really?? Pretty sure we tried & came to the conclussion he's nothing more than a returner

Ah the required WR everyone loves in camp then dissapears?? LOL

Plus he only had 6 winning seasons(Though 5 .500's)

Thing is the Bears DO want him back it's just a matter of if we want to pay what it takes. Sure I heard on the radio that he was offered a deal the same time as Mannelly & Toeina

gave it a quick look earlier thought it was brilliant. Was bennetts hit on the P there?

I use both myself

So once he's finally left in 1 spot full time & has he's best season we let him go? I think someone pays more than we want to give him & he's gone but would like to resign him
