DABEARSDABOMB Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Familiarity with Fox, great age so you would feel more comfortable giving him the money, etc. Allows you to focus on BPA and really shore up a major need position in the secondary. Pair him with Mundy / Vereen and maybe Gholson (Ex 49 er safety who will likely be cut by Tampa). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scs787 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 I wanna see them try and make a play for McCourty, but if he gets too expensive/gets resigned then ya, Moore makes a ton of sense. I said in another post that I'd like to see them fix the secondary in FA leaving them to focus on getting some bodies for the front 7 in the draft. I like the idea of Moore, Gholson, and Culliver/Cox as all guys who are familiar with the staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big of a drop off is there between McCourty and Moore? Hoping scs787 would have some info on this as I have not paid attention to these guys.

They will build threw the draft, this will take a couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will build threw the draft, this will take a couple years. Moore led the NCAA in INTs one year also. I am not against signing him, but I hope they weigh the prospects in the draft too. One guy I think will be a great leader is Fresno's Derron Smith. He reminds me of Mike Brown. He has traits as a great FS but can come down and make tackles in the box also. He has great football IQ and is a student of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big of a drop off is there between McCourty and Moore? Hoping scs787 would have some info on this as I have not paid attention to these guys. McCourty is one of the best safties in the league, Moore is merely above average with the potential to be good. Staying with the same HC should further help his development. So the drop off is somewhat big, but only because McCourty is so damn good. I think they get a couple FAs, but they aren't going to load up on them. They will build threw the draft, this will take a couple years. Im not so sure this is true. Fox turned around Carolina and Denver in one year. Virginia McCaskey is pissed. Both she and Fox are not getting any younger. The Bears have the 10th most cap room. All those points lead me to believe that we'll be spending every penny available for a quick turnaround. Virginia is a pissed off 92 year old that is tired of losing. I'm not so sure she and the rest of the McCaskeys can/want to wait a few years for this to work.

killakrzydav Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'm not in the draft a safety camp. At least not high. I'd rather look for a FA. It just seems like the majority of high 1t rd safeties bust in relation to their pick slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides bad drafting, paying large contracts to FAs has also got us in trouble. , McCorty is going to cost 10 million a year. It ain't happening.

I would rather them spend big on one of the mentioned rather than S. Moore would be cheaper than McCourty, younger and an upgrade from what the Bears have. If they spend big in FA i would rather James Houston, OLB from Kansas City. he is 26 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ain't happening. That is why I'd prefer Moore. I think you could get him for quite a bit less. I don't need all pro, I'd like above average though. And at 24, his age is a positive.

scs787 Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 I did add the caveat about him getting to expensive which would make me pass. He's one of the few high priced guys that I'd feel confident going after and it not biting us in the ass. I'd throw the before mentioned Justin Houston in that category as well. Looking at the crop of OLBs in the draft though, if I had to choose one high priced guy, it'd be McCourty. All that said I wouldn't be the slightest bit disappointed with Moore.

'TD' Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hell, bring in Moore and McCourty. End the Safety drought. It'd be expensive, but would definitely be worth it when you play Rodgers 2 times a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
