There two big WRs and Forte didnt play, I suspect they may be better at it when those 3 get on the field

sure, seen some good things and bad, but it will be the third game that spurs my interest

they got him with an eye on being a ST player, they must like some of there guards when they ship one out we perceive to have upside.

Im not sure you can make that statement until we see some real game film, but Im hopeful.

thats the problem,hope he doesnt slow his rookie season down

I heard him on Bears all access last night, and think he is a smart football player, just needs to keep it real on the field. dont force it

The contract was a result of the market valve, I think if he is a top 15 QB rated, we could have mild success. Hopefully the coaches can put him in the position to cut way down on TOs. I think the rest of his stats will be above average. He could have his best year as a Bear and that would make everybody happy.

I think they are counting on Ratliff to be a leader and stud DL, hope he can stay healthy.

I hope everyone on the roster excels at there positions,I just think If Shea had the skills , he would have showed more the last few years., I almost think , he may not be on the roster by the time the regular season starts, but hope Im wrong.

for sure Willy and Lamar up to speed is a good thing

that really sucks dick, a rookie missing training camp does not bode well for his football season

Im in on the 50, if you need someone else. That will make 6 leagues so the sooner we pin down a day the better.

If he does good, great , if he fails he will be gone.

I dont think Carey makes it to the season opener

3 years is to much but a good idea to give him a production based contract.

You dont give a soon to be 30 year old RB guaranteed contracts. He is a very good player but he will hit the wall in the next few years and then what? We give him a 3 year with guaranteed money, you then become football stupid. If he has a great year, give him a one year 10 million contract guaranteed. We dont need to repeat Jared Allen contracts, pay for the past and get a mediocre present. That limits us from becoming a better team. If we didnt have the stupid Cutler, Allen, and Houston contracts we could have accelerated our progress of becoming a better team.

I think his lack of a big contract and potential to be a good player ; leaves him off this list.

Some bloggers are always drinking kool aid and some are always condemning everything. IM somewhere in the middle, try to be an optimist and a a realist at the same time. As far as Houston goes, he is an idiot but if last years laughable behaviour makes him work harder this year, that is good for everybody.

I have to honest with guys about something. I am usually in 5 to 6 leagues every year and I do well in most them leagues with a 50% rate of making money in those leagues,1st,2nd,3rd,4th, but I rarely do well in these leagues. The reason why? most you guys are pretty smart at FF . Just throwing out kudos for those that deserve it. I think we should add $5 more to the money pool. Most in the money league are proven players and am in for more of better winnings. In the 5 leagues Im in their 40-50-60-60-70 with the money and know 5 bucks will not kill anybody here on increasing the pool. What say you?

If all of those come to pass,or even 3/4, we would make the playoffs this year. The three things that will matter the most: The Oline is healthy and consistent. That will make Cutler and the running game work. Cutler ends his streak of being a turnover machine. We develop a pass rush which makes every phase of the defense better.

If he does real well this year, I see them bringing him back for one more year and drafting his successor. As long as the oline does there job, I think he has a chance to succeed.

I am hopeful he does well, but just think Boxer is drinking coolaid. I am not sure where Foster was rated coming out of college, but people like Morris, Foster,C.J. Anderson were never expected to be as good as they turned out. I think his speed gives him a leg up, but with football players it is a lot of desire and work ethic and some succeed and some fall. Trent Richardson for example.

The key to the offense working well is the offensive line. I think if we would just do it and put Long at LT, move Bushrod to RT and either Ducasse or Ola at RG and let them grow together we might end up being pretty good on Offense.

We have a lot of smart people on here and read on WINDY CITY GRIDIRON that there are looking for some writers and Bear fans to contribute to their site. I dont have any creditable past moments to think I could contribute but have the desire, but will have to wait until I retire from my job to take a shot at anything like that. BUT is there anybody on here that could contribute to that website? It obviously is not a paying job, but would be somebodies hobby. Like I said there are a lot of smart and passionate people on here, anybody interested? the guy you need to contact is Dane Noble and he is on twitter.

I agree but if he's right, we may have a better defense than I anticipated.
