The Redskins are turds. In his rookie season, prior to his injury, RGIII looked special. I don't know what happened the last two years, but bottom line, if was cut, I'd absolutely give it a whirl. #2 overall pick and would have been #1 in a normal draft. We are in a year where we are evaluating everyone. I have no problem evaluating RG III and Jay. If one of them actually looks solid, it would be huge in terms of speeding up the rebuild.

I presume this is more of a...we need to figure out who we have and lets play as many young players as we can. Would have been nicer if I thought we had some intriguing options, but we really don't. That said, obviously this is going to be a painful season so rip the bandaid and try to evaluate as many guys who might have a future as possible.

Wow...I'm shocked by all the news. Clearly Bears are going into a full fledge rebiuld. Lets hope Jay has a good season and drives either the value to stay or at least gets some trade value so we can get a pick for him.

"Marty, he’s going to be an opinionated guy," Cutler said in a peaceful tone. "It’s just kind of who he is. That’s not going to change anytime soon. Some of us agree with some of the stuff Marty says. Some of us don’t agree with some of the stuff Marty says. But Marty’s going to say it either way. "Marty came down to Nashville (earlier in the summer). We’ve worked really closely these last couple, three or four weeks just because he’s been gone (during the offseason). I talked to Marty today. I’ve got a good rapport with Marty, no matter what he says. "I think he was trying to say there’s different leaders in every company, and the Bears, we’re not excluded from that group. Coach (John) Fox is going to lead differently than I am, and Adam Gase is going to lead differently than I am, and Marty’s going to lead a different way from the way that I do. So it is what it is. I know he’s doing everything possible to help us out. I’m excited for him.”

Jay's response to the comments was absolutely classy.

I am glad Brady is taking the league to court on this. League should have set policy regarding things like this...1st offense x...2nd offense y. Then have exceptions depending on facts / circumstances or something. But to do this 2 plus years later just seems very odd.

Uh oh. Hopefully it is minor and not a ligament tear.

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ex-nfl...sources-n412831 Very sad. I always remember how fun Kramer to Conway and Graham was. It didn't last long, but that was a rare aerial attack from the Bears. I hope he can over his depression. I also hadn't realized his 18 year old son had died from a drug overdose. Articles like this are why my kids will watch football, but never play (outside of flag).

It's preseason. Just don't get hurt. The nice thing is, I have full confidence in who we have in charge (head coach / OC / DC and GM).

I also think of all OC's, we finally have one who will leverage Jay's legs and athleticism, move the pocket, roll him out, and dare I say it, use the rushing attack and play action to our advantage. The big question that remains is can the oline be healthy and can it protect him and open up some holes for our backs.

He hasn't even been healthy. No one knows one way or the other, but reality is he's a guy coming off an injury, who is already hurt. That isn't a good thing.

Fabaluje's injury was asthma related. Ola's sounds serious.

From what I've read, Bears seem quite pleased with play of the rook, Ego, and Ratliff (plus Jenkins is here too) so I'm not sure whether we'd see them bring in McDaniel.

Hard for me to get down on Pace for White getting hurt. He didn't have an injury history. That said, despite Fox being very odd around any specifics of the injury, they still indicate he is day to day. That said, I would hope White is in camp by the end of the week. Will be critical for him to get as many reps as possible.

A lot of reports that foster has looked really good (as has Jones). I've seen more positives on those two then Shea, but it is training camp so who knows. Fox, Pace and Vangio have no bias on Shea so if they didn't see talent in him, he wouldn't be out their. We will see what happens.

Glad we have the staff that we do.

Good post and I agree with you that I'd probably be a lot like Jay if I played in the league. He's loyal to his friends but given what he's gone through you can see why he's going to be a very reserved person.

I think jay hates the attention he gets and just wants to live his life in private. He seems like he's a pretty normal parent and guy and other then his wife's stupid stance against vacinnes she by all accounts is a really good and involved mom (especially when you consider she's a celebrity).

Only thing I would switch to would be the throwback uni's we sometimes wear. otherwise I think our uni's are awesome.

Wasn't that his last playoff game that he completed? He played fantastic leading up to the NFC championship game.

I like this. Pulling from some winning organizations and Ravens drafts have been strong, hopefully this guy was part of the reason why!

I am glad the Pats are out on the offensive today. This whole situation has been totally botched by Goodell and his stooges.

Agree w/all parts except for not picking up Shea's option. That wasn't an indictment on Shea the football player, you just can't guarantee someone the amount of money that option was going to give him. If Shea plays well, Bears will work in-season to sign him and under almost all scenario's it will be for an amount cheaper then that option. I hope he gets paid more then that option cause it would mean that he went totally ham and won like a DPOY award, haha.

We'll see if Bostic shows some instincts. At least he has the athleticism but he's also hurt (bad back). Those two picks were pretty awful and had we hit on those, Emery is probably still around. I think our LB play was the worst in football the past few years.
