  1. Don't forget that the Bears had Devin Aromashodu sitting on the bench all year, and then blew up when he got in. In other words, the fact that a player is sitting on the bench for the Bears does NOT mean the player on the field is better. Not with this staff. Aside from that, I just about agree with your position analysis. 1st priority: OG/OT 2nd priority: FS (not as worried about it if Peppers collapses the pocket) 3rd priority: ?? To be honest, I could see DT right alongside FS. I don't know about everyone else, but I'd like the Bears to take a late round flyer on a QB with potential...because if Cutler takes a day off because of the flu, there is no way the Bears win with Hanie or Basanez (?).
  2. The more I think about it, the more it doesn't matter. The Bears could insert Manute Bol at FB and he'd do SOMETHING better than McKie. Hell, just reaching over the pile he'd be guaranteed to get more YPC than McKie.
  3. I'm also surprised because I think he's been a horrible tackler (too much of the strip first, tackle second nonsense). I would like to see how they measured these supposed tackles and missed tackles. I'm smelling some BS.
  4. I've been calling for TO for several years now...but everyone is too worried about sideline antics to ignore his consistent production and dominance (minus the Buffalo year, where he was merely good).
  5. The funny thing is, I think the idea isn't that bad. And, you're right, I don't see how he wouldn't be an improvement over Davis as a receiver. Unfortunately, there is no way Gault would survive if he had to play ST.
  6. I liked Ta'ufo'ou. Pretty much any cool Polynesian name means the player is going to be fairly hard-nosed.
  7. Not just "please leave," but GTFO. We can pick up a hundred guys in various other leagues that would be better than McKie.
  8. For what it's worth, I think blame goes as follows: Lovie and Staff: 60% JA: 20% Players: 20%
  9. GREAT point of view. I'd love to see Sharper signed. He's got great instincts, he's always around the ball, and he'd provide the vet leadership the Bears desperately need.
  10. Stupid. Either the talent or potential for all the Bears' WRs outweigh the overall meh that exemplifies Baskett. The only advantage of signing him would be getting to see his wife.
  11. I've seen mention of Taylor getting more carries than Forte, but I just don't see how that can be. Taylor last year with a great OL got the same YPC as Forte got behind the paper mache OL. Actually, this is why I'm not all that impressed with the signing...aside from it being a minimal concern in regards to other needs. On a semi-related note, does everyone think the prevailing theory that every team needs TWO top-line RBs is a load of crap? I believe a 30 carry RB is still feasible, and signing two starter-quality RBs is somewhat wasteful considering the team's performance and record last year which indicated glaring needs for multiple other positions.
  12. Check out my list, NFO. I thought backup-RB was a low need...about 5th or 6th. If the whole time EVERYONE thought it was FS, OL, DL (in whatever order) and THEN backup-RB, then there was no real disagreement. The talking heads, however, don't stay current or just plain get lazy. RB was not a high need, but it was, like most positions, one that could be upgraded. It's just that my philosophy is to fix the completely broken before the undesireable.
  13. The talking heads are idiots who get lazy and make their judgements based upon stat lines and highlight reels. WR was at BEST the sixth most needed position. 1A) OG 1B) OT 3) FS 4) DT 5) #2 RB
  14. So maybe he just makes really bad play calls when the game is on-going.
  15. He damn well better be. I'd rather see Manumaleuna get a hand off than McKie.
  16. Once again, youre a dick Your posts are childish, and this reply doesn't surprise me. How many times do you have to threaten quitting being a Bears fan, or posting comments that make you appear that you don't have a clue about football, before you grow up? Seriously, just take a step back and think about what you post some time. I know I come off as abrasive, and I can respect dissenting opinion, but you continually post ignorant comments and it gets quite tired (see a recent thread when other board members didn't seem too unhappy with your threat to quit on the Bears).

    The Taylor signing

    Ironic from you considering your incessant harping for more WRs. Regardless of that, however, I agree. I'm not that big on this signing because I didn't see it as such a huge need, but I can't fault the management for making a shrewd move to get a starter quality RB as a second guy. Also, think of how much he'll want to hand the Vikings their asses!

    Peppers Signed

    Great post. I have absolutely NO problem with Jerry and the crew getting rid of first and second round picks if it means they pick up proven all-star talent with the money that would otherwise have gone to an untested rookie. Bravo JA.
  19. Once again, you post the ridiculous. Yes, the OL is bad/horrible...but the WRs are not. They showed great promise last year, and if not hindered by a horrible OL, a braindead OC, and a rattled QB, they would have done much better than what they did (which was still pretty good). Four receivers over 500 yards, Forte in an off year was damn close, and that doesn't even count Aromashodu who absolutely blew up at the end of the year. -- Today has to be considered an overwhelming success from even the most close-minded Bears fan.

    Hmmm

    Would I like to have Boldin? Yes. Do I think the Bears should give up a 3rd rounder for him when there are so many holes on the team? No. Do I think the Bears should trade Olsen for Boldin, giving up a first round talent at TE for a WR who is about to be on the back end of his career (who would also want to get paid some serious jack)? No. Pass on Boldin unless he can be had in FA for a decent price (which I doubt).
  21. 1) You can say that again. I'm sick of seeing players out of their positions just because Zombie and staff think a player has athleticism, or whatever. 2) Did you not see Bennett catch everything thrown his way, Knox turn into a legit deep threat, and Aromashodu emerge as a possible big WR threat? All this happened last year. Where were you? Players can't develop if they never get a chance to see the field.
  22. Wondering? WONDERING?! Are you effing serious? If you're just now wondering, I don't know what games you've been watching for the past three years.
