Lucky Luciano Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 we had nearly 10 years of poor drafting that has left this franchise with nearly nothing in drafted talent. our roster is swarming with 2nd and 3rd tier players on BOTH sides of the ball and players at the ends of their careers. the only talent what-so-ever with maybe 1-2 exceptions has been brought in as free agents or drafted by someone else than jerry angelo. to let that GM continue on as long as he did falls DIRECTLY onto CEO mike mccaskey and his crony ted phillips. they have run this franchise into the freaking DIRT that will take a good GM 3-4 years to turn around in the draft even IF we currently have one!!! the coaching staff in this franchise should have been FIRED at the very least 2-4 years ago. yet the mccaskey family gave lovie and his garbage coaching staff(s) their vote of confidence and support. this falls directly on them. so... you can blame lovie (who sucks) or any of his staff (who sucks even harder) for this mess but in reality it's the people who hired him and kept him here for nearly a decade. so thank the mccaskey family from the top down for NOTHING!!!!!

madlithuanian Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Yup. Virginia's a nice old lady that likes nice coaches, etc. But professional football isn't about that. No Honey, no money... we had nearly 10 years of poor drafting that has left this franchise with nearly nothing in drafted talent. our roster is swarming with 2nd and 3rd tier players on BOTH sides of the ball and players at the ends of their careers. the only talent what-so-ever with maybe 1-2 exceptions has been brought in as free agents or drafted by someone else than jerry angelo. to let that GM continue on as long as he did falls DIRECTLY onto CEO mike mccaskey and his crony ted phillips. they have run this franchise into the freaking DIRT that will take a good GM 3-4 years to turn around in the draft even IF we currently have one!!! the coaching staff in this franchise should have been FIRED at the very least 2-4 years ago. yet the mccaskey family gave lovie and his garbage coaching staff(s) their vote of confidence and support. this falls directly on them. so... you can blame lovie (who sucks) or any of his staff (who sucks even harder) for this mess but in reality it's the people who hired him and kept him here for nearly a decade. so thank the mccaskey family from the top down for NOTHING!!!!!

Bears4Ever_34 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Haven't they been contemplating on whether or not to sell the team for years now? I thought I heard that people have been telling them to since they aren't making any money. They don't have other businesses like most owners do, so they're better off selling the team, getting some money to go away, and let somebody else who knows what they're doing run the franchise. This would be the best thing for the Bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownman Posted December 20, 2012 Report Share Posted December 20, 2012 Lucky, I am so with you on this completely. I believe I have stated on this board many times that the McCaskey family is destroying Papa Bear's legacy. I am able to understand that Virginia is the lone surviving child of Papa Bear however, Mickey is a Ivy League guy who has no clue about running a professional football franchise. Hell, I even sent a letter to Mickey when Curtis Enis was drafted to that effect. Keeping Ted Philips (An Accountant) as the President of this franchise is a joke. Philips as well is not a football guy. The family does need to figure out how to sell the team prior to Virginia's passing as Connor is stating, and get a true football organization in charge of the team and keep Virginia on board in some very minor capacity to still represent the Halas family. The organization does need a complete overhaul and as the saying does say, "$h*t Does Run Down Hill & It Starts At The Top!!!!" the sooner someone who understands all aspects of the game of football, the better off this franchise will be. If it was up to me instead of Emery, I would have fired Smith at least 3-4 years ago and after the way this team is flopping once again, should be escorted out the door, let either Marinelli or Tice finish the season and fire the rest of the coaching staff after getting back from Detroit. Still not sure who to bring it however, Smith needs to go especially after the comment that a game against the F@CKING PACKERS was not a must win, then Smith really does not get how much this rivalry matters to the fans and how deep the hatred goes. If we go 2-14 every year with two victories being against the Cheese Heads, I would consider it a some what successful season. GOOD BYE SMITH and do not let the door hit you on the A$$ on the way out. we had nearly 10 years of poor drafting that has left this franchise with nearly nothing in drafted talent. our roster is swarming with 2nd and 3rd tier players on BOTH sides of the ball and players at the ends of their careers. the only talent what-so-ever with maybe 1-2 exceptions has been brought in as free agents or drafted by someone else than jerry angelo. to let that GM continue on as long as he did falls DIRECTLY onto CEO mike mccaskey and his crony ted phillips. they have run this franchise into the freaking DIRT that will take a good GM 3-4 years to turn around in the draft even IF we currently have one!!! the coaching staff in this franchise should have been FIRED at the very least 2-4 years ago. yet the mccaskey family gave lovie and his garbage coaching staff(s) their vote of confidence and support. this falls directly on them. so... you can blame lovie (who sucks) or any of his staff (who sucks even harder) for this mess but in reality it's the people who hired him and kept him here for nearly a decade. so thank the mccaskey family from the top down for NOTHING!!!!!
