GrizzlyBear Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 What a surprise. I was hoping the Bears picked this guy back when he was in the draft. I figured he would be a stud, But like most things he was complete failure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcedes, Vernon Davis, Pope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clnr Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 I was pissed of at JA when he passed on Pope for a guy I never heard of: Devin Hester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jason Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 I, too, loved this guy coming out of college. But it's like I've said before, this is all situtational. Leonard Pope - Goes to a team that hardly uses the TE because they have two all-pro WRs, and the next option is a good WR. Vernon Davis - Goes to an absolutely putrid team with a horrible QB situation. Add that to the fact the his new coach is a strict disciplinarian, and Davis is, evidently, mentall frail. Marcedes Lewis - Goes to a team that believes running is the best option on offense, and the second best option. With a pure game manager at QB, and average to bad WRs to protect the passing game, there is no reason to feel threatened by the tight end. Put any of those three guys on the Bears and they would have been used significantly more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one season was so special I'll die with fond memories of it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
