Daventry

As far as MM goes, I think he was one of the biggest flops, if not the biggest, of the last few years. He was brought in, and paid, to be a top-tier receiver and he never came close. He seemed to get slower and have more drops as time went on, and also seemed increasingly happy to blame everyone else for his crap performance. Total waste of money. I thought Daniels was a decent DE, in fact much like Alex Brown and, even more, Wale. Never quite a top tier guy, but solid. The defense when Daniels was around was fun to watch, I preferred that system to the one we have now. I wish we could scrap the cover 2, or whatever they are calling it now, and go back to a more aggressive style...

Benson was no doubt a bit of a turd, but then we have some players on the current Bears team who are regarded quite highly by most Bears fans who are equal turds.... IMO Benson came in, as some have pointed out, in an arrogant manner and drew the ire of some of the veteran players. TJ was loved by all, and many on the team likely did not agree with the pick of CB automatically, which I did not as well as why pick a RB with the 4th pick in the 1st round if you are not planning to let go of your starting RB? This resulted in him not being respected and getting verbal abuse as well as possibly Olinemen letting players go so that they could have a pop, as well as Defensive players having a pop in practice resulting in injuries. Benson then went out and acted like an idiot in the off season to the point where the Bears were almost forced to let him go. He could have been at least an above average back, but the odds were against him in Chicago, and he was an idiot to boot IMO. Benson might grow up and prove to be a decent RB...in the end he dug his own grave in Chicago and deserves what he got. The NFL is not kindergarten...
