jason Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Cutler is probably done. Forte is on the back end of his career, but Langford is here. WR is obviously set. TE is set. RT is iffy at best. RG is good, for a few years. C looks good with Montgomery and Hronis. LG looks good if Long moves back there. LT is bad. So, that means on offense the Bears need: QB, RT, RG (future), LT. On defense, the Bears need 3-4 personnel, which means DEs and OLBs that fit, ILB's with range and intelligence, DBs who can cover, and Safeties who don't suck. So, that means on defense the Bears need (at least): 1 OLB, 1 DE, 1 ILB, 1-2 DBs, 1-2 Safeties Wow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASHKUM BEAR Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 It might be easier jumping on another bandwagon. Sad they are so far away. QB is not the most glaring need, but we may just have one fall in our laps as disgusting as this seems. This team lacks defensive talent at all levels, yet we will spend out top picks again on QB and oline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted September 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 RT is long. He's played 2 games there and your ready to give up on him already. Geez No. I think Long is the RG of the future. A HOFer at that position. And where he should play. The Bears need to draft a RT and move Long back to his dominant position.

bowlingtwig Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 A QB makez the team.. Goff or Prescott .... I can't say we should just quit trying and suck so bad for that 1st pick just so we can draft a qb. Anyone want to check out our history of drafting qb's in the 1st rd lol. I won't do it because I just had lunch and would prefer to keep it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 jason, 10 players sounds about right. If we can bring in 1-2 via free agency and 2-3 via the draft, it will take 2 more offseasons (Year #3) before we are truly competitive.

bowlingtwig Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I am convinced this is the last game Cutler starts as a Bear. Based on what exactly. Why in the world would the coaching staff completely give up all hope based on 2 games. It's not like we are 0-2 because it's his fault lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mongo3451 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 My philosophy is not very popular. We need to build inside out. OL, pass rush. Then QB and DB. I personally don't think we need 10 players to be competitive. Here's my list. OT x 2 DB x 2 LB x 1 DE x 1 QB x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears4Ever_34 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Only way this is Cutler's last start as a Bear is if he's out for the season. The guy behind him is Jimmy freakin Clausen, not some young stud draft pick waiting for his opportunity. I'm also not completely convinced Cutler won't be the starter next year, even if they draft a QB with the first pick given the epidemic going on right now in college football with quarterbacks not even knowing what a cover 2 defense or a mike LB'er is.

Connorbear Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Claussen looked horrible. When Cutler is healthy, he will start again. However, I believe he will likely be gone next year. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ54 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I hope the "Prescott" mentioned in this thread is not Dak Prescott of Mississippi State. He's horrible throwing the ball, very inaccurate on anything longer than 10 yards. I'll be amazed if anyone drafts him but then again this is the NFL and someone will think "he can run" let's take him. I haven't seen Goff play this year but he's shown some promise in years past. Definitely worth keeping an eye on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it should be: OT x 2 DE x 1 DB x 2 QB x 1 Great OL = More time for QB in pocket & bigger holes for RB I don't think LB is that difficult to fill when you draft to fit scheme. Basically you just need one of those football guys with great football minds (i.e. Zach Thomas). One of those guys is available every year in the 4th/5th round.

Bears4Ever_34 Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 QB will forever and always be the most important, so when you have an opportunity to grab a potential franchise quarterback, you take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan Grizzly Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Claussen looked horrible. When Cutler is healthy, he will start again. However, I believe he will likely be gone next year. Peace Besides that one int he threw at the beginning and some other early game plays he wasn't all that bad. He was successfully driving the team a few times until daunted by the cascade of penalties. Hard to succeed when you have nearly 200 yards in penalties.

That explains why Terrance Mitchell was out there giving up an 8 yard cushion to Larry Fitzgerald at the goal line. There is no more sugar coating it. No more "we had a good week in practice". No more "guys are working hard". No more "I prefer veterans". And apparently no more 1st Rd draft pick status meaning anything regarding having a starting job. http://www.csnchicago.com/bears/john-fox-m...-who-want-do-it I do like what I've seen scheme wise from these coaches, not to mention they've all proven they can be successful at other stops in their careers. I'm willing to sit back and wait for their message to sink-in around the locker room. IMO this is the culture change we need first. Hopefully we'll be adding talent to the mix over the next couple years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlithuanian Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I think the injury is a smokescreen to a shoulder problem. And it's the perfect excuse to move on from him...

You want him out so badly that you don't even watch objectively. The fact that you defend Clausen here is laughable. He had multiple throws that weren't remotely close to accurate, a few other weak ones, and a few others where he didn't even bother to look at the defense before throwing it as fast as he possibly could. It is an absolute fact that Clausen looked bad; there is no arguing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitownhustla Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Sell it. The current owneship group knows not. For the first time in a long time I have faith that the ownership group made the right choice. Instead of taking the route they normally would have gone they cleaned house. They smoked the GM and entire coaching staff. Pace, Fox and co need time. With 8 or 9 million in cap space (not sure if they used that up, I remember at one point before camp they still had cap space) I would have liked to see Pace go after some more Olinemen. Having said that, TED PHILLIPS better not have any say in anything regarding the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
