I usually only notice you around during this time of year. This a big time of year, I am interested in, but you need to pop in more, you have good insight in matters all Bears.

what was different from your situation with the WRs is we now have a huge contract with Cutler, and changes their perspective on spending money. I still think we try to get Bennett, but if we can get him for 4 year 34 mil. were in play; if its the contract you suggested-no way. We are 5 days away from seeing what happens. The Cutler deal gives us flexibility,I just dont think the plan is to structure it that way and then take 10 out of it the first year to pay the difference that Bennett may bring.

My point for the last time is all the very good and great DEs are usually judged by there yearly sack total, I know that is only one primer I am just saying the stats you showed is just one to judge by. By some of the names on your list will probably never repeat those stats. Perfect example all the talk is how good Hardy is because of his sack total, he is 10th on your list. We both know he carries other skills, Hughes is rarely ever mentioned any where.

He is gone no matter what our opinions are, I think we can find someone, who can be our 3 RB or 4 WR or a backup DB that can be good, were never going to find someone as good as Hester in his prime, but he's not in his prime anymore. I think he has some gas left in the tank, but you dont pay players for past performance, you guess when he's done being effective and go from there. The Bears think its time to move on, the brass running the team owe him nothing. He got paid, for being a great KR, but that was yesterday and yesterday is gone.

I heard 260, so not much bigger. They are bringing in a bunch of cheap guys and see if they find a gem and the rest will hit the road on no guaranteed money deals.

If he stays healthy that will be a bargain price, if he isnt on the field alot, not a great risk with 4 mil.

IMO, you have to have one stud on the line, one stud LBer and a saftey and CB that have there shit together. Then and only then can you fill the rest of the defense with average players. Example-Seattle 1-very good LB-1 excellent S-1-excellent CB, and a DL with a lot of good players. Talent wins out if you want top 10 type of D. Your a very smart guy but if you think you can be all mediocre up front, you dont have a very good D.

I think he is full of information and is right most of the time, enlighten us with who you think is spot on for information? Other than you, I cant think of anybody else that is right all the time.

Of course I do, and understand the valve, but what would PFF have said of Anderson/DE his rookie year here? He had one good year, where is he now? I think a person needs to look at many things to judge players, Hughes might have did better with more snaps, but he didnt play them and we can only assume the results.He might have did nothing with them, we simply cant make things exist when the reality is actually different. As far as the WS, only went to one game last year, plan on several this year with a injection of something new.

He gave us a lot of great moments, but he is not the same player. I think he is worth keeping around for a min. deal but honestly we need someone that can be more than be just a returner. That goes for Weems too, we can il afford to keep specialty players, we have to have a kicker, punter, LS, but we really needs players that serve more than one purpose with such a screwed up roster. He made me a lot of money when he was 35-1 odds for (first to score) in the Super Bowl,for that I thank him, but I think it is time to move on. Somebody said this and it bears repeating"Its better to let a player go one year early than I year to late" I AGREE

I dont think Hughes is the best DE because his name was first is your stat category, that shows exactly what Im saying about all the stats that pop up. He didnt thou, so it is all speculation.

I wasnt agreeing with it just tried to show on one person suggests something and another person considers it a fact.

I was trying to be sarcastic.I dont think Weems is worth 1.25

No not saying that, the point Im trying to make is when people talk about the best DEs in the league they start with sacks. I know all the numbers add up to different assestments and they matter. I dont view Jerry Hughes as an elite DE because his assessments look good.PFF is a good tool to use to judge people but it isnt the bible in football information.

Just seen an national article that stated THE BEARS PURSUE BYRD AND WARD. There was an article in the SunTimes by Jahns that stated the Bears might be interested in going after those two because we had bad safeties last year. So someone else uses that to write an article that states we are pursuing them. Rumors get started on opinions and then they become statements. It is all bull crap. Ill stick with Brad Briggs,and weed thru the rest.

Think of it this way, Shea lead our team is disruptions . The only thing that stat means is he wasnt any good.

It is customary for pro scout to work out draftees. I dont think that is a great indicator.

He has only been average(Paea)but he had injuries last year and lousy line mates. At best he is a rotational player.

I totally get and agree what you have to say, just dont think it plays out that way. Just trying to be real.

Actually Weems make more plays in a season than Hester did, but think Weems is over paid.

I agree they paid him like a top WR, so he should want to be here for a song.

I think there going behind the columns.They might be a little cheaper there.

Not to change the subject but I just went over 3000 on here, Im trying to catch the guys in front of me but they keep having opinions.

You have a good plan, just hope it works out that way.

I like him but in that year he had 9 sacks. I agree there is more to it, but look at the top DEs they are mainly measured by sacks. PFF is only what the elite fans judge by.
