Da Bears 88 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 But contrary to popular belief, if the Bears miss the playoffs, they didn't squander away their season in September or October. That happened in February. Link So, because we let Berrian go, he'll be the reason if we miss the playoffs? I guess those blown games don't mean anything?

Bears4Ever_34 Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Berrian would have helped out alot but he wasn't worth the price tag the Vikes gave him, NO WAY! They can have him. What we should have done is franchised him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowlingtwig Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Hell, IMHO he isn't even worth the $8 mill. He has so far 42 rec for 865 yards and 6 td's. Forte, Olsen and Hester all have more catches than he does and Forte has almost twice has many total yards and almost twice as many td's. Does that mean that Forte is worth 16 mil lmao.

DrunkBomber Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Our coaching staff is the reason for our problems this year. Our defensive scheme, playcalling and stupid penalties is what has cost the Bears. It would be nice to have Berrian, but he isnt the type of WR were lacking, we need a possession guy. Hester isnt too far behind Berrian in big play ability at WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same matchup problems thats led us to a 7-9 record last year because we didnt have anything that resembled a possession WR and had inconsistent Oline play?

jason Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Link So, because we let Berrian go, he'll be the reason if we miss the playoffs? I guess those blown games don't mean anything? No doubt. That's a stupid article. There is a play or two each game that the Bears have screwed the pooch on (minus the blowout games), and they could very easily have 10 or 11 wins right now, WITHOUT Bernard Berrian.

The only difference is actual execution, where Berrian is much further ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danimal99 Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Berrian might be the 25th best WR in the NFL. Shelling out a guaranteed 16 mill like the vikes or franchising him for 8 mill would not have been wise. Also BEARS would not have been able to give Hester the new money he got if they would have re-signed or franchised B2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
