Great post. On Forte and Earl, if they don't stay healthy this year, I'm looking for them to renegotiate or be cut loose.

I agree with the key word collective. As a collective, we cover all the bases. As individuals, I doubt any of us could do as well as any seasoned NFL personnel. Now, I believe some have the talent required to work in the league, but time in the league would be required to gain the experience and connections before ever thinking we could fill a GM role.

My original statement stands. We need 2 quality OG's or OG and OC. I'm not counting on unproven OT's to fill that role.

My bad, I thought you both qouted and replied to me...

We were talking about the draft...

I think they'll play that out until the last minute. You never pass on or trade out of a situation where you feel you can get an impact player. If Emery feels he can trade down and get the same amount of impact players, I'm all for it.

DE would not surprise me at all. For one, you can never have too many. Add to that, Peppers cap hit is going to be around 16mil next year and may be a casualty.

I'll take McCown or Rexy. I'd also like to see a running QB as a 3rd option. When in doubt, run like hell!!!

It all depends on what player I am. If I feel I'm good, yet unrecognized, I want to be the man somewhere. If I'm in the twilight of my carreer, I want to win, so I go to a winer. If I'm greedy, I go to the Browns for top dollar. If I'm pretty and personable, I go to a big media market for more endorsements. If Ray Lewis gets me any of that I'll take it. If not, I'll go where I can. I see no place Urlacher helps anyone fit better.

Your proposal has been rejected! We will decide what is best for this team...

Obtuse? Careful bro, that'll get you a month or two in solitary...

We need two starting guards or one guard and one center. That's it for needs. After that, we could use fresh bodies at WR, LB, DT and CB. All said, after OG, we should expect a heavy defensive draft.

The 49ers have 14 picks in this draft. I wonder what the trade index would say if we traded our 1 and 2 for their 1st, 2nd pick in rd2 and a 3rd? C'mon chart-meisters give me a stat!

Your 5 or 6 option needs to be a young developing player. People in the work place thrive better with something to aspire to. If the cream rises to the top, so be it. Ocho is far past that.

I'm convinced you will say anything to win an argument...

Thank you.

LOL! Thinking the same. Seriously, maybe Trestman put it out there to make teams gameplan a little differently against us. It's been said, that it affects prep time for other areas. So it could be a smokescreen we see in preseason and never see utilized in the regular. Or just a plan for the backup QB.

I DVR it and have seen every single episode. If a seller wants 1000, he offers 500 and settles for 750. Just like you said negotiations work.

I remember. I agreed with you Moss, but strongly disagreed on T.O. DJ Williams is cheap with all upside on this deal. I'm good with it. He should be an upgrade.

Rick always starts low and works to the middle, as you have stated is the way to do it. It's been said the Bears offered higher prior to free agency and 54 decided, out of pride, to test the market. He came back with no leverage and his value leveled out to 2 mil. It'sa small pittance for an already rich man. But again, pride is going to cause him to let it go before he is ready. It's on him. The deal was fair commensurate with to his value. To the other posters out there, who say players won't play here or the current ones won't play hard is complete and utter bullshit. I've said all I can say on this topic. I'll miss him, but am glad he didn't get what he wanted, because it is not deserved.

What's the last good player you saw on the Bears to give a hometown discount? 2 million would have been that for Url, but he was insulted. He'll find he's not worth it anywhere. This argument is tremendously flawed IMO.

Why cut him? He'd instantly be the best G on the team. Also, why would you cut him before the draft?

This! 1,000,000% I know this is overly dramatic, but it needs to happen. I don't like Carimi at G. He's a little too long for that position. We need an upgrade at both G positions, but I can live with getting one good one in the draft. Garza is average on his best day and on the wrong side of 30 with no talent in the pipeline. Once and for all, the OL needs fixed.

Some of you girls kill me...

A little HGH and he'll be set...
