Honestly, I didn't realize last year that Howard had such atrocious hand. Did he? Were my glasses so rose-colored that I didn't see his flaws?

LOL. A giraffe should be able to see over trees.

Agreed. That's an atrocious throw by Glennon. How he doesn't see a fourth of the Tampa defense gang-banging Sims on that is anyone's guess.

Cohen is apparently a great talent and is just not very smart at all. How stupid. That's pee-wee football stuff.

Glennon has looked accurate most of the first drive, but dinking and dunking all over the field will eventually lead to defensive congestion since they don't respect anything deep.

Conte had a pick-6 against us the last time we played? “I hate to make it personal, but for me it is personal,” Conte, who received death threats on social media over his mistakes with the Bears, told the Chicago Tribune. “It feels great. I don’t want to say, ‘[Expletive] you, Chicago.’ But I want to say, ‘[Expletive] you, Chicago.’ ” Conte can kiss my ass dead center. That guy sucked for Chicago and constantly F'd up. He seemingly had no clue about his role, or pass coverage in general. And he's upset the Chicago fans were mad with him? Gimme a break. Not to mention the fact that it was a horribly floated pass by Cutler, and while covering Zach Miller. That's likely the only possible scenario Conte could ever get a pick-6, because, as we all know, hard passes and fast receivers torch his ass.

THANK YOU. We have the RBs of the future. We have the QB of the future. We have the TE of the future. We have a good interior OL. Draft a freaking tackle, or two.

I'm thinking the Bears should be able to minimize the TB offense pretty well. Atlanta's offense is much better, and they handled them (minus the Hooper long play).

Yeah, I don't hate him personally. I just hate his contribution to the Bears.

In terms of BPA from the Bears' perspective it was a good pick. I didn't like it though. I thought my disapproval was clear when I posted: "FUUUUUUCK. Now it is White.

There is a wide margin between Crowton and Shoop. This was waaaaay too close to Shoop, and offense like that is almost guaranteed to fail. The passing in the first half was, if I'm not mistaken, 100% under 10yd targets. That is unacceptable because the defense doesn't have to stay honest, and they can creep up to stop the run. There has to be SOME form of mid-range passing at least, otherwise the defense doesn't respect the threat. On top of that, Glennon didn't look too bad when they finally let him throw it beyond 10 yards. And that's WITH the subpar group of receivers.

I now hate Kevin White more than I have probably hated any Chicago Bear in history. Hated him when he was drafted, and I still hate him.

Exactly. Basically they neutered Glennon the first three quarters, and then only threw the ball when they had to.

Agreed. I wanted to win like anyone else, but these are good games for the Bears. The team is obviously a few players away from really being able to contend. Earlier and more draft picks is what this team needs.

I'm normally all on board signing troubled players. Incentive based deals for guys like this have no risk. He screws up again, he's off the team and likely out of the NFL. Having said that, pass. He's just an undisciplined, in the box safety. He's nothing more than a glorified, undersized linebacker. Guys like that come a dime a dozen. If he was more known for pass coverage and versatility, then maybe.

I agree with the oddity of cutting Langford and signing Mizzell. It's a WTF move.

The "has more years in the NFL and should be more ready to contribute"-line is not always equal. You can give Tre McBride 20 years in the NFL, and he's still not going to be as ready to contribute as most 1st round WRs are in their first year. Also, McBride was on Tennessee's practice squad for two years. They were led by a TE in receiving yards in 2015, and their WR corp was atrocious last year. If McBride was worth a damn, he'd have gotten some playing time at least last year.

You might want to recheck that correlation to Cohen. He runs a 4.4, has been rumored at times sub-4.4, and put up a 4.42 at the combine. He most certainly has enough speed for long runs in the NFL. Mizzell may be Cunningham, but he's no Cohen.

At the same time, they don't build multi-billion dollar buildings in the desert because they are bad at setting the point spread. If they put the line off too far one way, they stand to lose significantly. If the line were -3 Bears, there would be a boatload of money put on the Falcons.

I took it to mean important this year. After all, the question inside the poll says, "Who is the most important Bear to succeed this year?"

Howard, easy. He's the star of the offense. Glennon and rookie Trub have minimal difference.

100% agree. If you can improve incrementally, you do so at every possible spot.

Why? Kasen Williams is a scrub. He hasn't done anything in two years as a pro, and wasn't even that impressive in college.

Agree with everyone's surprise. Meredith out, Cruz cut, and the one guy who has been kicking ass gets cut as well? So the Bears are left with White, who may be the biggest mystery on the team, Wheaton, and Wright?
