Wow, how in the world did Aaron Rodgers not go in the 1st round?

Earl might be in for a short career if he keeps this up, unfortunately. He never stays healthy.

What Lovie was doing wasn't working. Missing the playoffs 5 of the last 6 years is unacceptable. Whether Emery made the right choice with Trestman remains to be seen, but the Lovie firing was the absolute right thing to do.

Saw that picture the other day. Apparently he's not as big as that picture makes him look, though it's clear he's still way out of shape. I laugh because from that angle, he literally looks like an offensive lineman. Strong dreamer bulk right there!

Joe Anderson has supposedly had a pretty good camp so far. I'm driving that bandwagon.

I don't like the sound of that, but it is early.

Best part about his comments were him saying the Bears run the risk of having to pay him double next year. Good luck finding a team that'll pay 6M for a kicker, Robbie

What's up with the Bears losing young players to retirement only a month or two after signing a contract? First it was the kid from New York (Thomas?), and now Ellis.

The slotting of draft picks was the best thing they could ever do in the new CBA. I always hated when 1st round picks held out of training camp.

For him, I would imagine it would kind of suck to see the Bears win the Superbowl the year after you just retired. Especially someone who's coming off 13 years spent playing in one uniform.

What day do the Bears open training camp? Is it this week or next?

I would like to see another year of Joe Anderson. I liked what I saw from him last pre-season.

I think the projections for Cutler sound about right. New offense, new teammates, new coach, contract year etc.. I expect more of the same from him when it comes to numbers. Surely they will be a little better than last year with Mike Tice no longer controlling the offense. I say his ceiling is something like 32 TD's, 4,500 yards 17 INT's, and his floor is last year's numbers, which aren't very good. He'll wind up somewhere in the middle: 23 TD's, 3,800 yards 15 INT's

The LB battle interests me the most, as I'm sure it does most people. Between that position, and the offensive line, we'll have plenty of things to look forward to, come training camp. -Will one of the rookie LB'ers get a starting nod over Williams or Anderson? -Will the Long kid be a starter? -Will Shea McClellin finally be a starting DE? -How will Cutler look like in the new offense? -How will Trestman do in a professional locker room? Will he get the respect of the players? -Which unknown guy will come in to camp and win a roster spot? Lots of questions to ponder over the next several months..

Yall don't have to worry about Aaron Hernandez signing with the Bears. He's going to be in prison for the rest of his life. He has to be the absolute dumbest murderer in the history of murderers. I think a 10 year old could solve this case.

Jeffery looks bigger, in a good way.

I am unfamiliar with the timeline on when this all took place before it became a huge story, so I may have jumped out on a limb there. I thought he got in trouble last week for something else too, I could be wrong. The Tebow decision could have had a lot to do with Gronkowski's long list of surgeries this offseason as well. I can't fathom how he'd want anything to do with Tebow taking away reps from one of the greatest quarterbacks to have ever played.

He also hired a cleaning lady before the cops searched his home. This makes me wonder if Belichick had Tebow in mind all along to play TE, where he probably should be.

The season hasn't started yet. A lot can happen between now and week 1. Webb won't be handed anything. I'm quite sure a new coaching staff will want players to earn the starting job, and Webb will have to do just that in order to become a full time starter.

Meh, I'll wait until the season gets going to determine if it was a success or not. I wasn't particularly enthused with the Bushrod or Bennett signing, and the draft leaves me with a lot of question marks, just as it did last year.

I could have sworn there were medical red flags about his knee before the draft. Perhaps I am mis-remebering.

He had an injury history in college, too, so it's not like this came out of left field. Chris Williams was the same way.

Chalk up another bust for Jerry Angelo. Good move to get something in return though. He clearly wasn't in their plans for the future.

2004 might have been the worst year of quarterbacks the Bears have ever had. I cannot recall a more painful year.

Can't hurt to give him a tryout. The Bears aren't exactly deep at the position as it is.
