So the Bears aren't going after holt and talk about the need for a #1 WR. Why not show it by putting in a serious offer for Boldin.

The Bears are content. It's too bad too, because Weaver is much better than McKie.

I'm ready to be royally pissed. Holt is a perfect option for a team with a young QB, no WR's (although one or two have talent...Hester/Bennett) and some good TE's and a young RB. How can you not give him the money to come in and be our #1 while grooming some of the younger WR's (hopefully we still draft someone early too). I just don't see how you don't go after him, because his addition just makes the entire offense so much better. It helps Orton, it helps Forte, it helps all the other WR's and it helps our TE's. It is a no brainer. Oh and the Bears have tons of cap room.

Hey madlith, do you work in public accounting or did you ever? I'm an accountant too.

I think it would have been pretty tough to get Buenning involved since he was new to the system, wasn't truly 100%, and the Bears were winning and getting respectable play out of the guards (although I think we'd all say Garza sucked). This is the off-season where he will have a chance, imo.

The Bears have the worse WR corps in the freaking league and probably over the past decade. They are absolutely horrendous and I know you continue to believe that it is the coaching staffs fault and think that our receivers have loads of talent but I've seen numerous experts talk about how bad the Bears WR corps are and I'm going to give them the nod, especially since we have few high end draft picks and no one that has every screamed star to me (Berrian was the closest thing we had). Turner did an above average job last year with absolute shit and I mean shit. Lloyd was someones garbage, years removed from doing anything worthwile. Booker was slow and past his prime, Bradley flat out didn't practice nor did he ever stay on the field (he did have athletic ability though), Bennett (who knows), Davis (blows...wasn't even a WR for most of his career, IIRC), and Hester (a project, albeit with good talent). He also had a developing QB, a rookie RB, and a mediocre oline (at best). Hell, Turner is about the only OC over the past 15 years to make the Bears offense look explosive and he did it with Conway, Graham, and Erik Kramer...not too shabby. How about Angelo go out and actually get some high end WR's and give his QB's the ability to freaking succeed and for the offense to score.

It's a good theory. We definately hadn't heard either of these guys names anywhere and I assume JA had both of them on his radar all along.

He seems to have some good tools. This might be a pretty solid signing.

It would be pretty huge if somehow Berrian's one turns into a 3rd. That would be really nice and give the Bears some extra chips for safety or extra chips to move up and snag somoene they want in the 2nd or 3rd rounds.

At least he's a starter. Don't know much else about him and obviously he wasn't exactly highly sout after. Than again, neither was Green and he turned into a pretty good safety after the Bears traded him.

It sounds like the broncos will deal Cutler for the right price. I will be the first to say that I would give up our first rounder and a future first for Jay Cutler. Franchise QB's dont grow on trees and I would like nothing more than having our QB of the next 10 years decided. However, we clearly have some other needs so I would hope that we could get him for less, but bottom line, I'd be on board.

When he was healthy last year, he was still very productive though. If you can't get St. Clair, signing Pace and bringing in a relatively high draft pick to eventually take over wouldn't be a bad idea at all.

I'd cream myself if our first two rounds work out like that. We might just have bookends at the Tackle spot as well as a nice young WR to team up with Bennett, Hester and hopefully Holt.

I'm a little wrong in the sense that Pace did play 14 games last year.

He's been injured, but if the Bears lose out on St. Clair it wouldn't be a bad option to sign Pace as a stop-gap. The problem is, you know your relying on a guy whose best years are behind him and that might not be able to stay healthy and if he goes down the Bears wouldn't have any options (well I guess they would have the guy they just signed). So I think if you sign Pace, you do it because you want him to temporarily start while you are training your early draft pick.

If the Bears brought in Garcia to start it would be a terrible terrible move. If you sign him, its to be a backup and insurance policy in case Orton gets hurt or turns into a downright disaster. Otherwise, if the Bears don't believe in Kyle, they should be doing what they can to ensure they can draft a QB that they think could be a franchise guy (ie, Sanchez and moving up to do so).

Sounds like Barnes is the backup plan if the Bears can't sign St. Clair. The below is from the Sun Times

He wouldn't be a bad backup, but obviously if Orton doesn't pan out the Bears would still be in need for a QB.

Absolutely I would.

I'm going to be freakin pissed when we don't even bring Holt in, but it looks like the Titans might make a run at him. March 17th is when he's due his roster bonus so we should find out a lot by next week.

Best of luck Bearsox. I agree with the way to spotlight yourself, that would be huge. I'm a complete novice when it comes to breaking down or looking at tape but I had a really hard time following the play. The other thing I might do would be to remove some of the footage and instead slow motion some of your good plays so people can follow you and do others in full speed so they can see the actual live speed. And I have zero experience in this so I'm not certain. Oh and one other idea would be to right after the beginning to start it off with a picture of you cause than a scout could get an idea of your body type and stuff like that.

I wouldn't have a problem with it.

Would never have guessed this.

The thing is, that plays to your advantage in the cover 2 where the strong safety isn't necessarily utilized as much in pass coverage.
