Ive also heard reports that Fox is already calling his OC and DC and will likely be Kyle Shanahan and Dennis Allen. for what its worth

r odds are against him being 3rd string, so going in to the draft, some one will take a chance on him. Jamarcus Russel got drafted on much less.

Being named all rookie doesnt guarantee he played well, means more than most rookie CBs didnt develop but good for him. He wasnt terrible but wont make us forget Peanut anytime soon.

they are just jacking with each other.

His valve will never be any higher than it is right now. It the 3rd or 4th round he is worth taking a chance on as a project but is two to three years away from being a NFL type of QB and could bust out. We just have no idea.

IT is reported the Bears are all in on Fox as HC, so you and I want the same thing. Somebody with experience, Fox fills that role. Actually, I started watching the Bears when they drafted Sayers and Butkus , mid 60s

I agree that a Elite DE who have the biggest impact on the team, but think we need a stud MLB to be a team leader and stop the awful run defense we have.

Who do you want for a HC? You have probably stated it, but to lazy to look it up.

He has been successful with two different teams, it would be the bomb if we could get him.

I think Elway knows Payton is retiring and is starting over fresh with a younger coach to in a sense rebuild with new people in place.

That's where Im coming from also.

No, a media twitter stated they were pushing hard to get Kubiak, all they did was request an interview. The media twitter injected his opinion into the request to interview, there is no facts to suggest Pace was hot after Kubiak.

I agree it is a bullshit rule but the ball came out when it hit the ground and you could clearly see it in mid air again and he re grabbed it.

He is 77 years old. HE was Bengals head coach : 2000 4-9 2001 6-10 2002 2-14 Are we really going to get a progressive coach that got worst every year he was head coach? Dumb idea

That OLB could come in the draft in the name of Shane Ray.

Absolutely dead on there.

I agree with your opinion and would like them to surprise me, but to be honest most teams that reverse the trend has high draft picks for several bad years and make the change. We have a long way to go.

I will give you kudos with Cutler, you didnt like him from the beginning and were right about him. Lovie needed to go, the problem was they hired the wrong guys to turn it over too. I will support the new regime with optimism because Im a Bear fan., If they screw it up will be bad mouthing them in two years.

He didnt keep control threw the catch. He clearly lost control of the ball. Was hoping they screwed it up but the refs got it right.

Lovie was asked to leave, but we may have had a few more wins over those last two years, but went nowhere. The defense aged in front of us, and the slew of injuries cost of us some games. Like you said Lovie is who he is, not much above mediocre.

He has head coaching experience, if Pace thinks he is the best choice, lets see where it goes. Wanting to interview him doesnt mean he is our guy.

You talk about history and you keep bringing up Lovie who has been gone for two years now. I am optimistic about anything new until it proves different. You keep bringing up names like Lovie, McCown, Urlacher, you have no foresight, you just live in the past and aspire to mediocrity. I would expect nothing less from you.

I have mentioned my opinion on players on other posts, but might as well put it all in one spot. offense: QB Cutler, he is who he is, a 15-20 rated QB prone to TOs. I think the only reason he will be around is because there is not much in options. Fales, anybody here think he is a future star? I dont RB-Carey, he may have some valve going forward, but I dont think he will ever be a star. Forte is a 30 year old star, but anybody think he will still be playing at a high lever 3 years from now? TE- Bennett is an above average player ready to turn 29, we have nothing behind him , period. WR- BM- I think he is a good player but his demeanor is a chaotic problem in the locker room. IF were a winning team with good leadership he could be managed, but going on 31 his he part of our future in a couple of years? Jeffery- is a star on the rise, he regressed in year 2 but has a bright future. Wilson hasnt proved much yet but will have some valve under the right coaching staff,but what will he be? a #3 or #4 on a good team? WE HAVE NOTHING ELSE OL-Bushrod, I think he is a below average serviceable player, he will keep his job only because of so many other holes to filll Garza- at 35 can only go down going forward Long- a star on the rise,I think he will be our future LT Slauson- a better than average player coming off of injury Mills- has failed as a starter, maybe a backup with the new regime We need to resign DLP and Ola to at least give us some depth if not starting for sake of better players. Defense: DE- Allen, an old player that will only erode going forward. A situational PRer, thats about it at best. Houston, if he plays like he did last year,he is a bust Young- a good player but he is 29 coming off an injury. In three years he will start to go down hill Bass, not sure he will still be around, shows a little promise. DT- Radliff, I think his time has come to an end, a decent player but old and often injured. Paea needs to be resigned, our best DT this year. Sutton showed promise and could start going forward Ferguson showed promise and could start going forward LB- this is a total mess Bostic, has failed so far, maybe the new regime can place him in the right spot be potential starter Jones, has shown some promise and could be our future starting SLB Greene probably wont be around, a bust McClellan is simply a bust S- where do we start Conte is gone Mundy may be a backup on a good team Veeren, not sure what he is Nothing else here CB- Jennings is in trouble and not sure if he will be around with a potential suspension coming Fuller shows promise as a potential starter on a good team Hurst-Al Louis-Jean-McManis, not sure you have much here ST- punter is young and upcoming, and Gould is good and 33 Evaluation: we have a complete rebuild coming , we have an old roster with most the players that are any good are old Our players to build around: Long, Jeffery, Fuller, Young, Ferguson, Sutton, Slauson. Anybody wishing to give me some more hope, Im listening.

It is fact, the Bucs have the first pick in the draft. Thats a fact that's not speculation. The downfall for Lovie is not his coaching ability but he has power over personal down there. After we were in the Super Bowl Lovie got power and stuck his voice in the draft and you can see how that went down hill. He brought in FAs like Archuleta, and the OLT, Pace, and they sucked. I think Lovie is a above average coach, but not the coach that will give you the Super Bowl every team should aspire too. His time here run its course. In the last 20 years we have only been in the playoffs 3 times,maybe you are satisfied with that but Im not. We will have to see what Pace and new coach will do, but at least that gives us hope, Lovies hope was being better than mediocre but couldnt take us to the promise land. One Super Bowl appearance in 9 years wasnt good enough.

Isnt it strange how a year ago we had such optimism, and after a bad year, things look like crap. I am forever an optimist but this year has took a toll on me relating to the Bears. I hope the new GM and coach can see more valve in most of the players that I do right now. OL- we have one stud(long) one good player(Slauson), one below average but serviable (Bushrod). I think Garza is on the way down that will just look worse every year. I think if we sign DLP we will have a younger and more serviceable OC. Maybe Ola can fill the RG spot if we move Long to RT. I also think when Bushrods contract is done he will be our LT going forward. So we will at least need one more if not a couple of FAs or drafted players to add to our depth going forward. WR- I think Jeffrey is a future star, BM is on his way out. I like watching him play, but I think in the locker room he is part of a chaotic environment. If we were a winning locker room with strong leadership we could keep him in line but dont think he will be around. Wilson may be a #3 or #4 but really hasnt showed much. After that we have nothing to look forward to, we need to add at least 2 WRs . TE- Bennett is an above average player but we have nothing behind him, we need to at least add one more TE to the mix. RB- Forte is one of the best 5 RBs in the league, but at 30 how much longer will he be good, this is the last year of his contract. I think Carey has some valve, but will have a lot to prove to the new HC, so we need to add one more spot here. QB- Cutler is who he is, a 15-20 rated QB that is paid amongst the highest in the league. I think he will be here one more year only because, there will be no other options for us to consider. So we will draft a so so prospect but this is a year away from a prospect to even consider. This is our offense and that's the strength of this team. We have a 2 to 3 year rebuild and thats if we have good drafts. I am the TT doom and gloom Bear fan until proven otherwise.
